Trafalgar Low Cost Tours

Saturday, July 10, 2010

Have you wondered what touring Europe would be like in the Autumn, Winter or Spring? Tour directors answer your questions.

Q.  Why are the prices lower than summer first class tours?

A.  The prices are lower because Trafalgar and other tour companies can negotiate seasonlly adjusted rates from hotels, suppliers and venues at this time of year.

Q.  Will any of the sights and attractions be closed?

A.  Absolutely not.  Museums and most venues are open all year round.

Q.  Do the shorter days affect sightseeing?

A.  It does get dark earlier in Winter, but the upside is that clients get to enjoy the fabulous city illuminations earlier int he evening, especiy  a, Vienna, Venice and Rome.  Then, there are the Christmas lights.  Paris by night is beautiful at anytime of year, but Paris in December is magnificent.

Q.  Are the hotels of an equal standard to those used on summer first class tours?

A.  Hotels are either the same or of equal standard to out summer first class program, but at a lower price.

Q.  What is a must-have item tha client often forget to pack?

A.  Sunglasses are a must, even in Winter.  Sometimes people forget that sunlight on snow can be very bright.

Q.  What are some quintessential European experience during Winter?

A.  The Alps – the weather is more reliable with clear blue skis.  Snuggling up with a cup of hot chocolate and some apple strudel in Austria, Germany or Switerland is pure bliss.  Exploring the Christmas markets and Paris by night are not to be missed.

Q.  What about meals, will restaurants be closed?

A.  There may be a few restaurants closed for the holidays or refurbishment, but that’s all.  Generally, we use the same vanues as on our Summer tours.

Q.  Are there any places that are better to tour in the coller months?

A.  Some destinations like Egypt, Israel, Greece and Turkey can be wonderful when the temperatures are milder and the attractions less crowded.
