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

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.

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

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?

England, Ireland and Northern Ireland, while home to perhaps the most trend-setting and international of European cities, also have some of the most beautiful countryside on earth. In Italy, you can see more than 2,000 years of history within one city, witness the genius of Michelangelo and DaVinci or visit an enchanting island city that defies reason. France shares with us the pleasures of life: excellent wines, awe-inspiring art and sumptuous food. Germany zooms ahead along its Autobahn, but stops long enough to raise a stein, sing a song and welcome the world. The Netherlands, with one wooden shoe in its charming past and the other in the innovative future, continues to enchant visitors with its iconic windmills, tulips and canals.

Trafalgar Tours 2010
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009
Trafalgar has released a series of dates and preview pricing for many of their 2010 Europe tours, guaranteeing the lowest prices for clients that book early.
Here is how it works:
You place a $200 deposit per person, and this will guarantee you the best price. Then, should the prices increase in OCT 2009 when the actual 2010 brochure is released, Trafalgar will honor the preview price. Should the prices decrease, Trafalgar will honor the lower price vs. the preview one.
Bottom line is that by placing your deposit early, you are guaranteed the lowest price!
