Everything was really pretty good Here are a few suggestions though Arrange for early check in on arrival day even if it costs a little more At the age of a lot of us on this tour we are tired upon arrival and allowing us to get in our room s few hours early would be much appreciated For The hotel in colchester to be so far from Harwich was nuts to be honest The ones on the ferry drove for an hour after the ferry and the next morning we all drove right back I am pretty sure there was a holiday Inn right there as that would save time on a filled day no one could enjoy the hotel and its amenities anyway (we were too tired or not any time) I agree with the ones about the Southampton hotel Janice and I were in a handicap room which was right off the entrance Personally I did not care for the place at all Did not seem clean we also arrived too late for dinner (being diabetic means one must eat) but they did manage some soup Our guide was fun and I enjoyed his different slant on things being that he was a transplanted Swiss! The bus was comfortable but being that it was smaller it did not have a bathroom however they did do quite frequent bathroom breaks Sue Allen was a highlight of the trip for me She was absolutely fantastic and I hated for the day with her to end So hope this helps in your continued efforts with mayflower tours We will be recommending you to our friends for sure Marsha Adams

Thought the tour was very good. Tour coordinator, Dorothy Kennedy, and driver Werner were excellent. Would also like to commend Don Wolfinger for all his hard work. A couple of the evening group meals were below par, notably the meals in Berlin and Wittenburg. We would have liked to have spent more times in a couple of places like Rothenburg, Salzburg and Munich - but understand the time restrictions. At times we were concerned about some of the older tour participants as they were challenged not only by the walking, but also the considerable stairs at churches and castles. Not sure that part was thoroughly explained.

We really appreciated all the attention to details for such a large group. Since David has reviewed you as well, the only item I would mention was that the upper room in the HoffBrau (spelling?) for Octoberfest was rather marginal. I think we sat for an hour and a half before we got anything and the fact that if you wanted a Dunkel beer you had to get a HUGE one but if you ordered something else you got a smaller one/choice. I said small Dunkel and got too much. When we finally received our meal it wasn't even what was promised, noodles and no veggies! Rest was awesome! Thanks!

A distinction should be drawn between the administrative people at Reformation Tours and those who were directly involved on the tour (the tour guide and hosts). We were quite pleased with the process of booking the tour. It was very efficiently and professionally done. We were less pleased with the actual tour itself. The tour director had a difficult time in accommodating the needs of those in the group and on occasion was quite curt. Some room accommodations were below expectations. Also, on some occasions misinformation was provided concerning tourist questions. Perhaps the most serious criticism would be the lack of providing time for a lunch meal on the day in Salzburg in which we went for as much as 10 hours without food. While there were apologies for this there was no accommodation to correct the situation, only that we could purchase beverages from the bus driver, adding insult to injury. Several folks commented that "what if one of us was diabetic?"

Well organized and available for questions.

Tour was good. three problems. 1. The tour of Edinburgh Castle was confusing. The tour guide spent greater than 30 minutes outside the castle just talking. We didn't know how much time we would get to walk around. It was very frustrating. 2. A group dinner was scheduled at the Trout Inn. It should have been obvious to our tour guide, Nick, that he needed to help the restaurant organize how to deliver our pre-ordered meals. Someone should have assigned us seating so that the restaurant knew where to deliver the meals. Also, someone should have called ahead and verified that they were ready for us to arrive. As it happened, they were not ready. We had trouble getting drinks, we waited over two hours and never got fed. Unsatisfactory. 3. The final group meal in Windsor was not organized. The restaurant was not big enough to seat all of us in one location. Poor planning.

Gar was an excellent tour guide. Whole trip was quite Informative. Wonderful scenery and Good weather. Some hotels were not up to par, especially Oban. Some very long days with lot of walking and lots of stairs. Assume this is normal in Scotland. Can be tough on old folks.
