- KFKaren· July 26th, 2024Would like to have walked down the main street of Chinatown. We're very disappointed in the side street we walked on. If you are going to offer snacks, please make sure all can participate. Found it a little offensive that even after the second day of not being able to receive a snack, all the same snacks were continually offered.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for travelling with us to Trafalgar.

- SBSusan· June 26th, 2024The trip as a whole was great. Our Tour Director and bus driver were awesome. Our tour director was knowledgeable about the history, geography, flora and fauna of the areas we visited. The itinerary was a good mix of cities and scenery. My only complaint is that I thought the communication with the company before the trip left something to be desired. I spent several hours on the phone in the days immediately before the trip trying to straighten out some things that had gone sideways.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us.
