The tour guide, Rosaria for the Deep South, Sicily tour was fantastic and wonderful.
She was very knowledgeable and funny, as she came from Sicily so my brother and I could relate to her well given our heritage is from Sicily.
She was very professional, diligent and intermingled and related well with all the tour participants and others she met.
Both my brother and I really enjoyed her company and the tour.
Thanks very much again, Rosy from Angelo and Anthony (Sicilian Brothers).
Thanks again Albatross for introducing us to Rosaria.
I recently went on the Grande Italy tour. This was my 4th Albatross tour. I thoroughly enjoyed Italy. Helen Sheehan was the guide, and Fabio was the bus chauffeur. Helen was a fantastic guide and catered to everyone's needs and was friendly and well informed about Italy. Fabio was a great driver - very professional. I would recommend this tour.
Hotels, number of nights in each and quality of tours and free time.
Fantastic Bonus was Darren & Yassin. They made any aspect of ther trip not a problem to deal with.
I enjoyed my resent bus tour of Sardinia and Corsica. It was a very well-constructed tour bringing in many aspects of the local culture. Our tour director was fabulous and kept us on the move and on time always. Our accommodation was most satisfactory. My only complaint would be about the food, too much of it!! It is very nice to have their traditional dinners, but I found all the meals far too big.
Our guide was exceptional. Accomodation was good mostly. Itinery was excellent
Our trip of a life time.
Waited 20years for Italy.
Monica was amazing.
The group of 28 were like family.
The driver was superb.
What a planned well organised amazing accom.
Fantastic food.
We could not have planned it better.
Maybe a little expensive but worth every penny plus more.
Treated like royalty.
Amazing places,planned perfectly.
I think you can see we enjoyed the trip of our dreams.
Thank you Monica for being special.
You were fantastic.
We loved every day.
Thank you team for the happiness shown by all.
Didn't want to finish but real life goes on.
Happy chippies, go Albatross.
Waiting for the next one.
What’s not to love. The bigger bus, the longer stays, fabulous locations and accommodation, the passengers , free time and great food. Albatross has it all.
The group of people I travelled with, the places we visited, with the exception of Panarea and Stromboli islands, were most interesting, and the periods of 'My Time' were much appreciated. Our Tour Director, Misia, was most knowledgeable as were the local guides in various towns. We could have had at least one extra day in Valletta as there was so much to see.
I loved the choice of Itinerary...the places we visited were amazing. I also appreciated the fact that we stayed more than 1 night in all the towns where we had accommodation. The accommodation choices were superb from Castlebrando perched high up on a hill, to a beautiful waterfront hotel in Stresa and the divine white palace on the Amalfi coast...the list goes on. Our tours with local guides and meals were also first class. ALBATROSS TOURS will always be my choice.
First time in Europe & this was a grrat first experience travelling with Darren & Yassin. They were perfect hosts and opened my eyes to magnificent Spain & Portugal.
Full days of exploring & learning was balnced with enjoying the sights, food & customs of the locals.
Even those fellow experienced travellers commented on how good Darren, Yassin & the tour structure was - so I feel privileged to have had this life changing experience.
- Good accommodation. Due to heat it would have been good if more inland hotels had pools.
- Knowledgeable tour guide and excellent coach driver.
- Stays of 3 to 4 nights at the one place we’re superb with day trips from those points to major attractions. Saves packing up/unpacking on a daily basis which is appealing to tourists in our age group.
- Food generally good but disgraceful at venues in Montecatini and Minori.
Great tour leader who bent over backwards to make our whole day as pleasant and as smooth as possible. She was so “on the ball” with every little detail.
Our bus driver who squeezed his way perfectly in the hardest of streets/ lanes.
The tour was so much better than we expected with so much included, we were amazed.
Loved each new place we went to and all the hotels we stayed in.
Would go again in a heartbeat and highly recommended.
Enjoyable trip. The guide (Gilberto) and The driver (Massimiliano) were excellent.
Accommodation and breakfast at Villa Margherita were suboptimal. They seemed not ready to receive guests (I think we were the first lot of guests, after the winter closure). The next hotel (Aemilia Hotel, Bologna) was excellent, the others were good to very good.
Very inclusive tour, with a great group of travelers and a fantastic tour guide, Helen Sheehan, and a fantastic coach driver, Fabio.
Our whole Alpine tour was organised very smoothly. We had a fantastic Guide/Tour Manager in Ernst who was very knowledgable in events and history of the different places we visited. It is a tour which should be on your bucket list.
Informative tour director , competent coach driver , good accommodation. Some included meals however weren’t up to scratch ( that needs to be addressed) . Staying 3-4 nights in one place very convenient.
On our tour of Spain our guide Darren was the best tour guide I have been with. He looked after us, kept us up to date where we where going and was most informative.
Tour was very well organised, led by a great guide who was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and considerate. All accomodation was of a very high standard in excellent locations. I would happily travel with Albatross Tours in future and highly recommend t(em based on my experience.
The recent 18-day tour around Spain and Portugal was most enjoyable with our group of 25 proving to be friendly and fun. Our Tour Manager, Darren, was excellent and our coach driver, Yassin, was most competent - we were looked after very well by these friendly professionals. I was impressed by the interesting itinerary, the variety of local attractions and historical sites we visited, and also enjoyed the tour pace, which provided a good balance between sightseeing and free time to explore on our own. The hotels were great, and the included meals were generally good. I hope to enjoy another Albatross tour sometime in the future!
