Visits

Amsterdam, Berlin, Bruges, London, Paris

Highlights

  • See some of the coolest, most progressive big cities in europe. immerse yourself in berlin's art scene, paris' metro system (it's like anart-nouveauswiss watch!) and amsterdam's bike-friendly utopia (just don't immerse yourself in the canal)
  • Taking the train from london to paris through the channel tunnel is a bit like teleporting, only more romantic. and it means you get to spend even more time gaping at the big ben and posing in front of red telephone boxes
  • Bruges is like stepping into a fairytale from 1,000 years ago. it's also a wonderland of chocolate and beer, in other words very hard to tear yourself away from
  • You've read about it, you've seen it on docos, big deal right? but when you see the eiffel tower up close, just you try and stop yourself from taking a selfie and sending it to your mum

"We purchased two backpacks from Rick Steves Europe. One of them arrived damaged and unusable. Their website says that you must contact them if you receive damaged merchandise. I have attempted to email them through their website and I have left 3 voicemails (nobody answers the phone, ever!) and nobody has contacted me back. At this point, it seems like I've been ripped off. Buyer beware. Extremely disappointed."

What travelers are saying

"My first Avalon cruise/land tour to Vietnam/Cambodia was the best experience of my 80 plus cruises. We recently took the Avalon Egypt/Jordan cruise/land tour and it was the polar opposite. Most sites were awesome but the tour needed a guide in addition to the Egyptologist, who didn’t look out for the safety/best interests of the guests. I submitted a detailed review of Egypt and Jordan but have not yet heard back."

What travelers are saying

"We have loved Gate 1 and always sing their praises. We've been on 7 tours with another one booked for fall. We were supposed to leave for Ecuador this week, however the country is in a 60 day state of emergency with the escape of 2 infamous gang members. Tourists are advised to stay indoors and there is a daily curfew from 11pm-5am. (our flight was to land at 11:15pm). Our trip included stays in 2 of the main cities of unrest. There have been shootings, car bombings, hostage taking, closing of embassies, and other countries issuing do not travel warnings. Other tour companies have cancelled tours or offered refunds or rescheduling. Travel insurance does not cover wars or civil unrest, but we are clearly afraid to go there. Both we and our travel agent have reached out multiple times with our concerns and asked if we could reschedule or get some sort of credit. We continue to get the same reply either in person or via email...Gate 1 has your safety as our highest priority and we feel you are safe ("they are not targeting tourists") and your itinerary should not be impacted. What? Their highest priority is $ and not our safety. There is no way that's the tour we anticipated. We cancelled the trip and took a 90% penalty, loss of deposit, and $276 airline penalty. It's a LOT of money, but we would have been terrified, and it's not worth getting hurt or worse. Sorry, but it's not the company I want to do business with in the future."

What travelers are saying

"A really difficult company to communicate with, slow to respond and not able to accept accountability for poor service. Used Tee Travel in Spain which was even worse. Not able to organize support or assistance and harassed me about luggage that wasn't mine. There were other walkers who appeared to have more support and assistance from their travel providers. Definitely avoid this company as overpriced and no actual service."

"We participated in all the optional activities, which included a broad array, and enjoyed them all. Our days were full of interesting sights and experiences so we felt our time was well spent. The tour was very efficient and our driver and tour director were exceptional. I would recommend this tour to others because we were exposed to such a variety of different experiences, from architecture, history, flowers, battlefields, monuments, iconic foods, etc. We really enjoyed ourselves."

What travelers are saying

"This trip is unbelievably fantastic. Two of the best rides of my life, were on this tour. The guides were very good and this was just the start, when we met them, at the hotel in Cortina. Cortina was the site of the 1956 Olympics, and is a small pretty village. Nothing was open the two nights we were there, so probably bad timing. Hotel was a typical ski village hotel, good Italian/German food, and very comfortable. Second day of biking was up an old railroad spur that is now a ski trail about 15-20 K up to a mountain pass called Cimabanche Pass, which is beautiful. We rode up in a snow storm, then rain, then finally clear skies. This was the number two best ride of my life. Starting out from the hotel in Cortina, up the old spur, through single track bike trails, past babbling brooks, up to this fabulous mountain pass. This is now where the fun starts. Mostly downhill on paved roads very little traffic, at good speeds, through the most spectacular valleys you would ever see on a bike ride. Breathtaking. It had to end back at the hotel for a big dinner. The best ride of my life was the last biking day out of Merano. We were bused up 1500 K, about 85-90 miles to Lake Resia, high up in the Dolomites, then rode around the lake, down, back to Merano. High mountain peaks, many valleys,small towns, many grape growing farms, scenery, the best, and cool brisk weather. This was truly a great bike tour, one I will never forget. The trip is rated easy, but maybe easy/moderate is closer. The Hotel in Merano is excellent, middle of old town, modern, has a thermal bath, rooms were very good. The town of Merano is a must see if in the area, small, beneath the high mountains of the Dolomites, good restaurants, lots of tourists."

"The tour had an excellent itinerary and activities, giving a broad overview of Peru - we loved it. Accommodations (with one exception) were great, and all had an included breakfast buffet. The tour's included activities (e.g. cooking class, pisco tour and tasting, potato park, boat tour of Isla Ballestas) were terrific. Appreciated the two included flights which saved a lot of driving time. Logistics were handled, and everything was smooth and easy (thanks to our CEO, Mary Chu!)."

Netherlands Tour Selection Trips

  • For a small country, there’s a lot to pack in on your trip to The Netherlands! Be sure to allow enough time to explore areas outside of Amsterdam. You’ll find the rolling hills of Limburg a world away from the bustle of the country’s capital.
  • Cycling is the perfect way to explore this corner of Europe. The Netherlands is famously flat and cycle ways cover the whole country. It’s also very easy to put your bike on a train if you feel you need a break! 
  • Slow down to appreciate the friendliness and hospitality of the Dutch. While Amsterdam is not famous for it, Dutch culture can be seen at its best away from the big towns.
  • With miles and miles of navigable waterways, river cruises can be a wonderful way to start discovering this country.
  • Take time to relax with a good Dutch beer - there are many more options than Heineken, you can even visit Amsterdam’s own windmill and brewery for a local taste.
