Travel beyond
the expected
Traveling is one of life’s greatest experiences.
For every new horizon we cross, we broaden
our own.
With every culture we encounter, we enrich ours.
For every intriguing new character we meet, we
become more interesting people ourselves.
It’s this passion for traveling differently which
has inspired our guided vacations for more
than 67 years.
We’ve formed friendships with locals eager
to reveal their stories and secrets; honed our
deep understanding of cultures and customs;
uncovered hidden treasures; and crafted the art
of sharing our discoveries to give you real and
rich experiences.
As you travel with us, looked after by our
incredible Travel Directors, you’ll feel genuinely
connected to the places you explore.
“Travel is in our DNA.
It’s our passion to help
our guests travel beyond
the expected.”

Local Experts
As you listen to Penny Lane, on
the street which inspired the
song, Phil excitedly points out
The Beatles’ old haunts in his
thick Liverpudlian accent
before he takes you down into
the buzz and atmosphere of
the Cavern Club. A real-life
friend of the band and local
boy himself, the city feels alive
with his personal memories.
Taking you deep
inside Europe
Local Specialties
Meeting the makers of
Scotland’s slowest distilled malt
whisky, you experience their
patience and dedication,
learning the process before you
get to try a ‘wee dram’. You also
hear tales of smugglers, about
how Rob Roy hid in the oak tree,
and about the ghost of Cochran
Cartwright, who fell in the dam
on one of his regular ‘tastings’.
Be My Guest
Stepping into the Schieszl
family’s wine cellar, the barrel
forming its door doesn’t seem as
important as the wine you taste.
It’s not until later over dinner that
Konrád tells you the spine-tingling
story of how the barrel saved
their Jewish neighbors’ lives
during the war – and later saved
his grandfather’s vineyard
during communism.
Unique Insights
A unique look at Italy’s passion
for food, larger-than-life
Florentine chef, Libero, meets
you at his favorite market to
buy fresh ingredients for
homemade ravioli. Inviting you
back to his restaurant kitchen,
you chat as you create lunch
together before heading to his
garden to dine al fresco and
hear stories of life in Florence.
Authentic
Accommodations
Relaxing in its cool
sun-dappled courtyards,
discover hidden patios
connecting two former palaces
which, along with classical
Sevillian houses, create Las
Casas de la Judería. A
maze-like property that begs
to be explored, each room has
been restored to reflect the
rustic opulence of the old
Jewish Quarter of Seville.

piece of Europe

– London, England

Europe is a continent of contrasts. Classic favorites live
side-by-side with less discovered nations, with each bringing
its own distinct personality. Understanding the nuances of each
country, we take you deep into their differences, helping you make
the most of every moment of your time in Europe.
Italy
Italy’s love of ‘la dolce vita’ has given
rise to the Renaissance art, passion for
food, and exuberant yet effortless style
you see. We’ll also introduce you to
the locals, secrets and stories behind
each city and region, like the bustle of
the Rialto fish market enlivening your
senses as you step into this hub of
Venetian life with our Local Expert,
on a walking tour of Secret Venice.
See our 17 Italy vacations on
pages 28-61
Britain and Ireland
The royal pomp and pageantry; cream
teas and country pubs; and traditional
customs, local folklore and friendly
characters you encounter take you
straight to Britain and Ireland’s true
essence. Like in Belfast, where our local
cabbie takes you around the city in
his black cab, passionately sharing his
personal memories of ‘The Troubles’.
See our 19 Britain and Ireland
vacations on pages 62-99
Spain, Portugal, Morocco
and France
They might share borders, but
once you cross into each of these
neighboring countries you quickly
discover their many differences,
from their modern ways of life to
their traditions and history, revealed
through the stories we tell. Like at the
Alhambra in Granada, where one of
our experts paints vivid pictures of life
in the palace, showing you not just the
intricate hand-carvings most visitors
focus on, but the stories behind them.
See our 14 vacations in these
countries on pages 100-127
Central and Eastern Europe
including Russia and
Scandinavia
The many faces of Europe’s central
and eastern bloc - like Russia, which
emerged from the Iron Curtain with a
vibrant edge - meet the contemporary
cool of Scandinavia. Less well-known
than their western neighbors, unique
moments come thick and fast here,
whether it’s sharing canapés with ballet
dancers in St Petersburg, exploring
the world’s cycling capital, Groningen,
by bike, or trying the owner’s homebrewed
beer in a Gasthof in the
Austrian Alps.
See our 20 vacations in these
countries on pages 128-167
Eastern Mediterranean
Warm island sands in Greece.
Mineral-rich waters in the Dead Sea.
The Blue Mosque of Istanbul. The
dramatic scenery in Greece, Israel,
Egypt and Turkey is met by monuments
of ancient civilisations and the firmly
held traditions of these countries.
Meeting locals - like the residents of
Demircidere who share their traditional
bread-making secrets with you - takes
you beyond the beaches and into the
soul of the Eastern Med.

pages 169-189
European Discoveries
Sometimes seeing one destination
just isn’t enough. Our multi-country
European Discoveries are designed to
take you on a seamless voyage across
the continent - bringing together up to
12 countries in a single vacation.
Each itinerary is meticulously crafted
to balance the different identities
of the places you visit, so you can
experience the diversity of Europe.

We’ve designed our collection
to help you see Europe your
way. Lively or relaxed? One
country or a dozen? We’ve
listened to our guests and
infused each itinerary with
our 67 years’ experience
and knowledge.
Our vacations come with carefully
planned sightseeing, dining and hotels,
chosen so you can experience the
best of the destination – with just the
right blend of shared experiences
and free time.
How do you
like to travel?
DEEP INSIDE
with Regionals
Taking you deep into a destination, our
in-depth Regional itineraries have been
crafted for those wanting to absorb the
spirit and soul of a country, or even a
region like the Alps or Mediterranean
where neighboring countries share
similar culture, scenery or even food.
And then we add a unique twist with
our Insider Experiences, so you can
explore, chat or even dine with locals.
Many travelers just see Paris. Our Best of
France trip (page 108-109) goes beyond
the chic capital to rich experiences like
tasting local wine in Beaune.
COVERING GROUND
with Discoveries
An instant introduction to Europe’s
diversity, we created our Discoveries
collection for those wanting to
experience more of the continent in one
vacation. Faster-paced encounters with
up to 12 countries, they don’t just skim
the surface; our Travel Directors still take
you beyond the expected, introducing
you to local people and moments.
One of our bestselling vacations, Grand
European (page 220-221) takes in 11
countries, as you get to know locals
who share icons and secrets.

TAKING IT SLOW
with At Leisure
Slower-paced, our At Leisure vacations
give you longer stays and longer lie-ins
– in fact, you rarely have to leave the
hotel before 9am. Usually stopping for
two to six nights in each destination, you
have more free time to explore – but still
get the same insider knowledge of your
Travel Director and Insider Experiences.
Our leisurely Greek Island Hopper
(page 178-179) mixes ancient Athens
with a laid-back island feel, with three
nights on both Mykonos and Santorini.
FEATURING: far left -

SHARING TIME
with Family Experiences
Designed for all kinds of families sharing
time together, our Family Experiences
mix education and entertainment for
everyone from children to grandparents
while showing you the very best of Europe.
Of course the hotels and restaurants have
been hand-picked to meet family needs,
but it is experiences like learning how
to Flamenco together which make them
different and memorable.
Gladiators, Gondolas and Gold (page
36-37) sees families enrolling in
Gladiator school and making pizzas
with an Italian chef in Rome.
FOLLOWING PASSIONS
with Special Interest
Specially designed for travelers wanting
to experience a particular side of
Europe, our select Special Interest trips
could see you discovering Italy through
its food or England through its country
gardens, or even crossing Europe by
rail. A collection of carefully created
vacations, they’re ideal whether you’re
passionate about the theme – or just
want to see Europe differently.
Our WWI & WWII Battlefields trip
(page 106-107) is particularly poignant
for 2014, on the 100th anniversary of
the start of World War One.
INDEPENDENT BUT EASY
with City Breaks
The ultimate city break vacations, these
unescorted single and multi-destination
trips focus on Europe’s classic
capitals. Giving the independence
and excitement of a city break with
the insider knowledge and ease of a
Trafalgar vacation, all the essentials are
organized and every new city starts
with an introduction to the sights from
one of our local connections.
On our London, Paris and Rome break
(page 236-237), locals meet you in
each city to tell homespun stories
about the famous icons.

It can be exciting to discover guided vacations
aren’t all mapped out, as first-timer Paul
Nugent found out this year.
There’s a romance to the notion of
traveling. Hitting the open road, finding
guesthouses with real character,
chatting with locals at a bar and seeing
the iconic sights. But, I’ll freely admit
I’ve found the dream is rarely the reality.
For some, traveling alone is an
adventure. For me, guided travel gave
me all the adventure I was after – with
none of the hard work.
I got to see the places I wanted
to see, but also got under the
skin of the country – and still
had a much-needed vacation
It could be the time it takes to plan,
the thought of driving on foreign roads
or the prospect of making it round all
the sights in just one day, but letting
someone else do the work just makes
sense. On my trip I got to see the
places I wanted to see, but also got
under the skin of the country – and
still had a much-needed vacation.
On my first guided vacation, I was
looking forward to the obvious benefits,
like the fact someone else would look
after my every need and get me from
A to B. The fact I wouldn’t have to
negotiate public transport in my first
five minutes in the country. And the
fact I wouldn’t have to scramble for
coins at tolls, worry about parking in a
capital city, or read up on road rules on
the plane ride over.
I’ve driven round the Arc de Triomphe,
along cliff-edge roads in Corsica and
through the Mont Blanc Tunnel under
the Alps. And, while I had some good
times, I didn’t really get to take in the
scenery and destination properly. (And
I’m not entirely sure how I, the hire car
or my relationship survived.)
I was looking forward to the
obvious benefits, like the fact
someone else would look after
my every need
I was also eagerly anticipating having
my route planned out for me by people
who really understand the countries I’d
visit. It was knowing the hotels were all
booked, the best restaurants had been
picked and I’d definitely see all the
landmarks – without me having been
a slave to online search engines for
months beforehand.
And I’d no longer approach a
reception, phrase book in hand, to ask
for directions before giving up and
uttering the inimitable phrase ‘do you
speak English?’
But I wasn’t on the coach long before
I realized I was getting much more
than my dream of a chauffeur, trip
planner and linguist all rolled into one.
I was getting more than I could have
arranged on my own.
I thought I had guided
vacations all mapped out. But
this was something different
The thought of someone else doing
the work for me had encouraged me
to look at guided vacations. But it was
realizing someone was using their
local connections to get me exclusive
hotel, travel and sightseeing deals that
sold it to me. Oh yes, before I traveled
with Trafalgar, I thought I had guided
vacations all mapped out. But this was
something different.

FEATURING: right
- Paris, France
continued...
The difference started when I realized
my luggage had made it on to the
coach without me even thinking about
it; a very pleasant surprise that broke
all those rules about ‘keeping your
luggage with you at all times’. And it
continued like that the whole vacation,
with my bag magically appearing at my
hotel rooms and back onto the coach.
We’ve all been there. I’ve lugged a
suitcase through countless European
city centers after long flights and tricky
hotel transfers. I’ve kept my fingers
crossed that the budget hotel I found will
miraculously have turned into a swanky
pad, while my partner Vanessa grumbles
every time my suitcase wobbles to the
side and hits her in the shin.
Someone carrying that luggage.
Someone checking me in at the hotel
and just handing me my key. Someone
there to point out restaurants to fit my
random dining requirements – or the
best shop to buy authentic gifts rather
than over-priced tourist tack. It was
these little luxuries which left me free
to just enjoy the experience.
More than a personal concierge
… she knew more than most
would think possible about the
places we visited
My Travel Director, Anna, was more
than a personal concierge though.
She knew more than most would think
possible about the places we visited
– understanding each region’s people,
economy, history, politics and food.

Chatting with her over breakfast, she
told me it wasn’t just the heritage
which attracted her to Trafalgar. It
was appreciating she’d get bespoke
training to help her share her passion
for her home nation. And knowing
the itineraries would let her take her
guests inside each destination – and
add her own personal touch.
She introduced us to her local
connections who’d share their
cities, homes or even dinners
with us
As we traveled, Anna told us stories
about characters she’d met. She
shared anecdotes about her own life
growing up in the places she took us.
And she introduced us to her local
connections, who’d share their cities,
homes or even dinners with us. I’d
always thought guided vacations
were all pre-planned, but sometimes
Anna took us off-route, choosing more
scenic roads or showing us hidden
places she’d found and loved.
Completely impromptu, she heard
about a little village fair and pointed it
out, answered a tricky question about
a crop growing in the fields we were
passing, and found a shop selling
fabric for a fellow guest keen
on quilting.
We were fast-tracked past the
queues into iconic landmarks
But it wasn’t just about bespoke
moments. We’d come to see the sights.
After all, you couldn’t go home from
Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower or
Rome without seeing the Vatican. And
we were fast-tracked past the queues
into iconic landmarks – it didn’t just save
us time, it made us feel a little like VIPs.
There’s something about travel
which connects people
It was moments like this which sealed
the friendships I’d made with my fellow
travelers. It seems far-fetched that
friendships can be forged so quickly
– but there’s something about travel
which connects people.
Having trips tailored to families; to
people with a passion for food; to
travelers wanting to see more than one
country; even to those wanting to lie-in;
meant you felt you really were with
like-minded people.
Sharing experiences like dining with
farmers in their home, my first (rather
inelegant) attempt at wine tasting,
watching ancient Stonehenge appear
on the misty horizon, and losing my
Cornish Pasty to a squawking seagull,
only to find out half my fellow travelers
did too, sped up bonds which normally
take years to form.
The sightseeing and shared
experiences were seamlessly
paired with free time to dine,
explore and unwind
I have to confess, I had made
assumptions about traveling as
a group. I thought it would be like
a cruise on wheels, but I soon
discovered a more intimate and
in-depth adventure, with moments
which felt truly exclusive and local.
Anna told me about the team who find
the experiences she gets to share, like
Christine who travels across Europe,
literally knocking on doors to find
amazing home-cooked meals and local
characters travelers can dine with.
I thought I’d stay in run-of-the-mill
hotels; but one night you could be
staying in the buzz of a capital city and
the next be in an old palace packed
with tradition and romantic stories. It
feels like each hotel is cherry-picked to
suit the day – and squeeze in the most
local color.
And I thought every moment would be
spent together, but the sightseeing and
shared experiences were seamlessly
paired with free time to dine, explore
and unwind. Sometimes I asked Anna
for her recommendations; sometimes I
joined one of her Optional Experiences;
and sometimes I just headed to a little
café and reminded myself I was really
here, in Europe, on vacation.
It was in one of these cafés when I
found myself reading my guidebook
for pleasure, rather than frantically
searching it for a restaurant, direction
or foreign phrase; and I realized this
Trafalgar trip hadn’t let me see Europe; it
had let me experience it – and enjoy it.

Knowledge, experience,
expertise
A love of his country; the passion to
seek out new experiences; the warmth
to make guests feel at home when
they’ve only just arrived: Pino (opposite
far right) is just one of the Travel
Directors who bring our vacations to life.
Looked after by our dedicated team,
our bespoke Travel Director training
program puts them in our guests’
shoes, helping them become true
Insiders by showing new ways to
share their knowledge and bring every
destination into focus in unique and
inspiring ways.
Our people.
Our passion.
A diverse group of people, they come
from all different walks of life – but they
share a love of travel and their home
nations. This inspires them to open
up their country to you, whether it’s a
recommendation for a local restaurant
that serves the most delicious version
of a typical dish, or the best place
to find those all important, and truly
authentic, souvenirs.
They explore the icons with you,
then seek out surprise places and
A Hidden Treasures that add an extra
richness to your vacation, giving you
unexpected stories that often become
the memories you share when you
return home. They could be personal
favorites, like Pino’s much-loved
Caravaggios, or something they found
with your Coach Driver, like the lessused
roads that weave between the
jagged cliffs and stalactite caves of
ancient Cheddar Gorge in England.
They work hand-in-hand with our skilled
and friendly Drivers, capable chauffeurs
with years of experience at the wheel.
And with the many Local Experts they
introduce you to along the way; people
who live in the places you’re visiting,
giving you a shortcut to understanding
each region, and an even deeper and
more personal perspective.

Born and raised in Italy, Pino Campi, one of our Travel Directors,
uses his local knowledge, experience (and a little bit
of Latin passion) to bring lesser-known aspects of Italy to life.
When we bring our guests to
Italy I want to show them its secrets,
not just the sights they’ve come to see.
Rome has so many stories, so much
history. I love scouring the city for
Hidden Treasures, like the Caravaggio
paintings hidden in the church of Santa
Maria del Popolo. It’s an unassuming
church that’s easy to miss, but inside
it’s just beautiful. I love art history,
so being able to take our guests
somewhere they may not have found,
and seeing their faces as I tell them
about my favorite Baroque artist’s
techniques and escapades, while
they view his work, is one of my
favorite moments.
FEATURING: bottom left -
Aegean Islands, Greece;
below - Rome, Italy
I’ve been working as a Travel Director
for almost a decade. I love the fact that
I inspire our guests, listening to them
and finding out their interests and
passions so I can use my knowledge
to help them really discover and enjoy
my country – a place they’ve often
dreamed of seeing. It just makes me
happy, taking care of the little details,
getting to know people from all over
the world, and making every vacation
easy so guests can get on and enjoy
themselves - I can’t think of a job I’d
rather do.
Pino Campi, Trafalgar Travel Director

When you’re visiting a new
place, there’s nothing like
having a friend there to
welcome you. Someone to
take you to the sights – but
also take you deeper to reveal
the secrets.
Must-see sights
Seeing things
differently
There are places which make it onto
postcards and into guidebooks. Places
like the Eiffel Tower, Buckingham Palace,
and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. These
exciting landmarks are always part of
our trips.
And our audio headsets give you the
freedom to explore the sights at your
own pace, pausing to take photos or
just absorb everything around you,
without missing out on your Travel
Director’s insights.
But we also take you beyond the
expected, introducing you to local
people and sharing our deep
insider knowledge.

Unique Insights
Our A Unique Insights were inspired
by our love of uncovering things not
found in guidebooks. Sometimes
these moments give a different
viewpoint of the famous sights: in
the hush of the Vatican museums
we slip away from other visitors to
tread the famous Bramante staircase,
not usually open to the public. And
sometimes they show a twist on local
life: in Barcelona, one of our local
connections helps us mingle with
busy Spaniards bargaining at the lively
La Boqueria Market.

Customize your trip
Everyone likes a little time for
themselves, so our itineraries always
include free time to explore on
your own. If you’re in need of a little
inspiration, we can give ideas.
Or you can join one of our Optional
Experiences, created to help
personalize your trip with more things
that interest you – whether it’s a
sound and light show at the Egyptian
pyramids or a horse and carriage
ride in Innsbruck.
Local Specialties
Meeting artisans who carry on age-old
traditions gives a fresh perspective on
a country’s culture, like the Venetian
glassblowers, the Scottish whisky
distillers and the cuckoo clock makers
of Germany’s Black Forest we meet.
Seeing them at work gives you an
appreciation for the A Local Specialties
others just take home as souvenirs.
Local Experts
Our travels across Europe have
unearthed some unforgettable
characters. Local radio personalities,
black cab drivers, historians: each
A Local Expert adds a diverse
personal spin to ‘seeing the sights’.
Like the students of Cambridge
University, who talk about studying at
this famous college as they punt you
along the river. With anecdotes and
quirky facts about life in the places you
visit, they are the ultimate insiders in
their hometown.
“The perfect balance
of planned activities,
shopping experiences and
suggestions for what to do
in free time to maximize
our travel opportunities.”
Elaine, East Norriton, USA

More than meals, in Europe food is
about memories – and socializing.
There’s nothing like tasting classic
food and drink in their home nations.
Like fish and chips in a cozy British
pub, crisp champagne in a French
vineyard, or authentic gelatos in a
slick Italian pavement café.
The dishes may be different but there’s one
philosophy which unites Europe – food is best
enjoyed with friends, old and new.
It’s this philosophy which inspires our dining
experiences. Like our relaxed Welcome
Receptions, where you can get to know your
fellow guests and Travel Director over drinks or
dinner. And our Farewell Dinners, the perfect
forum to relive the memories, share email
addresses and talk about where to go next.
Flavors
of Europe

Dining with locals
We’ve formed many friendships as
we’ve explored Europe seeking out
unique venues and their hosts.
Our A Be My Guest experiences aren’t
just about fantastic food. Invited into
the homes of people we’ve met on our
travels, they’re also about hearing stories
of local life and legends in intimate
settings, from vineyards to farmhouses.
On the shores of Loch Ard in Scotland,
father and son Fergus and Gregor
Wood welcome you to their working
hill farm. After hearing about life as a
Scottish farmer, you head into their
17th century barn for a family supper
of dishes like local lamb, and the
obligatory whisky mac, served up
with romantic stories of the farm’s
connections to the infamous
Rob Roy and a rousing ‘Session’
singing competition.
And in Italy, we visit the Telli Family,
who invite you to dinner on a tiny
island on Lake Maggiore. Arriving by
boat, you are met by Signor Telli who
leads you to a pretty tower. Serving
up home-cooked Italian dishes, the
family tell you about the young prince
who used to play in the tower with
his brothers and cousins, pretending
it was a pirate’s hideaway. And how,
years later, he returned to turn it into a
restaurant called ‘La Piratera’, named
after his childhood game.
FEATURING: top left - Libero
Cooking School, Italy; center
- Be My Guest in Florence,
Italy; bottom left - Rome, Italy
Our secret recipe
We carefully plan your dining to match
the day. When we’re on a road trip and
won’t return until late, we’ll include a
meal at the hotel restaurant. When
we’re staying central, you’re free to find
your own favorites – or try your Travel
Director’s personal recommendations.
And, when we’re staying near a
restaurant we know and love, serving
typical dishes, we’ll take you there for a
Regional Meal.
Of course breakfast is always included,
along with up to half your evening
meals. And we always plan in some
time to stop for lunch in just the right
spot for your journey.

The right
place to stay
We seek out the right hotel to
create the right experience,
using the expertise we’ve built
over 67 years to craft the
perfect blend of charm,
location and quality.
We know one size doesn’t fit all. So
sometimes we stay with internationally
renowned names, like Sofitel,
InterContinental and Westin, and other
times we hand-pick independent hotels
which add a truly unique flavor. After all,
the ‘right’ hotel doesn’t always meet set
criteria – you can’t measure charm.
Of course, sometimes it is all about
the star rating, so you’ll always stay
in four or five star accommodations
with us. Comfort goes without saying.
And sometimes it’s all about being
central: but we make sure we pick
hotels that complement your stay,
so you can truly get the most out
of your destination. Like in Venice,
where we’ll either stay among the
scenic canals, or on Lido di Venezia
island, where wealthy Italians
choose to live and vacation.

Authentic Accommodations
Our local connections have introduced
us to some unusual and exciting
A Authentic Accommodations, which we
couldn’t resist sharing with you. Unique
places to stay, each reflects the area
you’re in. There’s the Turkish cave hotel
in Cappadocia, where the Yigitoglu
family proudly share their grandly
restored house beside the ancient
Ortahisar rock castle. There’s the
Renaissance palace in Spain, where
Napoleon’s army slept before attacking
Vitoria. And there’s the wonderful hotel
we found near the Vatican, which used
to be owned by Catholic monks and
donates profits to charitable missions.

Rest assured
While we tailor our hotels to match our
vacations, there are some things you
can be sure of.
You’ll receive the same impeccable
service and quality, whether staying
in a cutting-edge modern hotel or
authentic guesthouse – our Quality
Control team check each and every
one of them.
We take care of checking you in,
carrying your luggage and paying any
gratuities, saving you time and energy.
And at most hotels you’ll find WiFi.

It’s not just about getting from A to B, but
the experiences you have along the way
that turn a trip into an extraordinary journey.
Europe’s country, city and coastal roads become
more than scenery with us. Your Travel Director
introduces you to each destination before you arrive,
and shares anecdotes and knowledge of the places
you pass on the way.
On the journey, you get to know your fellow
travelers; chatting, sharing stories and beginning
friendships sealed by a shared love of travel.
Our Coach Drivers know the roads less traveled, so
we ask them to take you on the scenic routes where
possible to reveal landscapes and towns you might
not otherwise see. And, with years of experience,
they take the worry out of the road, looking after
the parking costs, road tolls and prerequisite map
reading for you (we even look after your luggage
from door to door throughout the journey).
FEATURING: far right

Your journey
made easy

Traveling in comfort
With comfortable reclining seats, an
onboard restroom and WiFi in most
European countries, our air-conditioned
coaches are a luxurious way to travel. They
have European electrical outlets so you
can charge cameras and phones between
destinations. And the panoramic windows
give incredible views.
Other ways to travel
Of course, we’re the experts in coach travel,
but we tailor our vacations and sometimes
select other transport to enhance your trip.
Hand-picked and quality checked by us, these
add a different flavor to your vacation. Whether
it’s passing medieval ruins on a tranquil Rhine
cruise or relaxing on the Bernina Express in
Switzerland, on a train journey so uniquely
beautiful it’s been recognized by UNESCO.
Greener travel
As part of our commitment to the environment,
we constantly strive to become more carbon
efficient. 2013 figures* confirm our coaches
emit less carbon or greenhouse gas per guest
than cars or trains. And we update the vehicles
in our coach fleet to the latest model at least
every five years, ensuring we stay on top of
innovations in carbon-efficient travel.

Connecting with
our world
We believe in going beyond
the expected. It’s something
you experience as you
travel with us – but it’s also
our philosophy for how we
connect with our world.
It’s about going beyond being
responsible with carbon emissions,
recycled paper and donations to
charitable causes – we believe
these go without saying; it’s about
connecting with the communities we
visit, and making it easy for you to
do the same.

Our vacations support local people
and their traditions and livelihoods.
It could be meeting artisans at
their workshops, staying at a little
authentic hotel, or dining on local
produce at a farm or vineyard.
These meaningful grassroots
moments let us give back to the
places and people who welcome us.
We also work with our parent
company’s (The Travel Corporation)
foundation, TreadRight, which has
donated more than USD$2 million
since 2008. Through this foundation,
we help fund National Trust work at
the UK’s White Cliffs of Dover and
Quarry Bank Mill.

Quarry Bank Mill was built by Samuel

Rome & Tuscan Highlights
With the heart of Tuscany as your base, ancient customs and medieval cities meet the Leaning Tower and
picturesque olive groves, in a leisurely journey of culture and art.
It’s Insider moments like… the quiet hush of the Museo Leonardiano, housed in the medieval castle that guards
the old town of Vinci. It’s the murmur of voices as your Travel Director sheds light on the life and works of
Leonardo, in the ancient town of his birth. Feeling the past merge into the present, you leave the museum and
step into the chatter of modern Italian daily life to explore Piazza Conti Guidi, where the earthy tang of olives
groves is unchanged since Da Vinci himself walked the streets.

Mt Vesuvius buried the city. And standing in the cool shadows of temples as you discover the life and beliefs of
an ancient culture, through the muted colors and designs of its mosaics.

the subtle aromas from an expert local sommelier, and build up an appetite as you stroll through the farm,
vineyards and cellars. And it’s finding the flavor of the Sicilian sunshine in the rich, heartiness of the cuisine, as
you enjoy the freshest grilled vegetable antipasti, homemade pasta and renowned ‘Liperus’ wine.

Scenic Ireland
This leisurely trail winds through the Emerald Isle, from Dublin’s 16 th century botanical gardens to the utterly remote
Dingle Peninsula, the country’s westernmost point.
It’s Insider moments like… tucking into homemade Kerry Lamb Stew and soaking up its rich gravy with bread
fresh from the oven. You eat by the glow of an oil lamp and to the smell of turf burning in the open fires at Quills
Farmhouse. And you join Andrew to learn the secrets of traditional Irish cooking. With views over the lakes
of Killarney, you chat to farmers going about their business. You are transported back to 1930s Ireland: a time
before electricity had reached the countryside and when a trip to the well was a daily chore.
It's iconic places
City tour of Dublin. Orientation of Adare and Kildare. Visit
Botanical Gardens Dublin, Cormac Chapel at Cashel, Blarney
to kiss the stone and gain the ‘gift of the gab’ and St Bridget’s
Church in Kildare. View St Patricks Cathedral and Phoenix Park
in Dublin, The Rock of Cashel, the statue of Charlie Chaplin,
Molls Gap and Ladies View on the Ring of Kerry, and the
thatched cottages of Adare. Scenic drive of the Ring of Kerry and
the rugged Dingle Peninsula.

Best of Scotland
The urban hubs of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Legends and lochs. Castles and country. This leisurely look at Scotland
covers the essentials – but still has time to stop for a ‘wee dram’ or two.
It’s Insider moments like… being greeted by the father and son farmers of a working hill farm on the banks of
Loch Ard, as they approach in traditional dress. Hearing them recount the stories of Rob Roy MacGregor, the
outlaw and hero who roamed this region, they share their contagious energy, Scottish pride and homespun
dishes, eaten as you hunker down together in their barn. An active farmstead, every experience is slightly
different; one day you could be playing with sheepdogs, the next helping them feed new-born lambs.

Paris & Provence
Slow-paced and scenic, the South of France is the heart of this trip – with time in Paris, before heading to Provence
and the proverbial ‘playground of the glitterati’, the French Riviera.
It’s Insider moments like… winding through the Provençal countryside en route to beautiful Menerbes, as
you listen to the stories of the landscape and culture that inspired ‘A Year in Provence’. Later, in Luberon,
it’s meeting and getting to know the Meillan-Pages family at their vineyard, and exploring the grounds as you
listen to the techniques and philosophy behind the cultivation of the grapes. Tasting the fruits of their labor,
you sip the wine they described and dine with them on their favorite regional dishes.

Highlights of France & Barcelona
This twin-country trip follows the spine of France’s wine country and the foothills of the Pyrénées, before heading
to buzzing Barcelona. You can opt to fly to Spain’s capital, Madrid.
It’s Insider moments like… taking your seat in Avignon town square, as your Travel Director returns from the
bar with a tray of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Tasting this powerful wine on its home soil adds a local twist to the
tales you’re told of Avignon’s past. Learning how Pope Clement V moved the papal seat here (not Rome) in 1309,
these stories of religious connections are almost as delicious as the drink itself. And the setting, near the Palace
of the Popes, gives a feeling you could be back in the 14th century, when the wine’s fame began.
It's iconic places
City tour in Paris, Lyon, Carcassonne and Barcelona. Orientations
of the Loire Valley, Bourges, Avignon, Nice, Monaco and Arles.
Visit the Eiffel Tower, Chartres Cathedral, Les Invalides, Chateau

Best of Morocco
This grand circle of Morocco’s mountains and cities puts your senses into overdrive – embracing the buzz of
mopeds, the scent of spice and the delicate tastes of roses and orange.
It’s Insider moments like… marvelling at endless shades of red, from terracotta to fierce magenta, created in the
tannery pits in Fez. Watching the stained workers hand-dying material, you witness time-honored methods.
Stepping through the unassuming door of a riad later that day, the lavish side of Morocco reveals itself. Joining
its owner, you hear his home’s history, see the ornate decoration and join him to taste homemade dishes – often
made with fragrant orange blossom, sweet honey and, of course, Morocco’s famous piquant spices.

Taking in every angle of this little country, this is a rare opportunity to go beyond the tulips and canals of Holland’s
postcards to see its pretty towns and unique customs from the inside.

Strolling together to a neighbor’s farm, to see how their dairy cows are milked, you settle in to taste regional
dishes like mustard soup or beef salad. The inside look at The Netherlands continues the next day, as you pedal
through Groningen with our local friend, who lives there and shows why it’s the world’s cycling capital.

Best of Switzerland
Scenic lakeside towns, views of the Matterhorn and an Alpine journey to chic St. Moritz aboard the famous Bernina
Express – this round-trip from Zurich shows off Switzerland at its best.
It’s Insider moments like… watching Joelle Hostettler whip up a risotto from scratch in her garden, teaching you
how to cook it the local way. And trying authentic antipasti from the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland.
After Joelle and her husband Massimo have shown you around the family vineyard, you sit back with a glass
of wine to soak up views over Lake Lugano. The risotto is served al fresco, with local sausage in pastry, and, as
you linger over lunch, they bring out a seasonal fruit tart made from fruit grown in their garden.

Capitals of the North
Experience the big sights and unique moments of five capital cities in northern Europe and Russia – locals reveal
favorite spots in Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki and Moscow.
It’s Insider moments like… being offered ‘nastoykas’ by Grandfather Vladimir in the wooden village of
Vitoslavitsy. Guessing what your three Russian liqueurs are made from, you make a traditional toast together.
Greeted with lucky bread and salt, his daughter Irina introduced you to the family as they made the pancakes
you now tuck into with jams, having already enjoyed their ‘Pirzhok’ pies and tea from a ‘Samovar’. After dining,
drinking and music, you leave with the authentic Russian cloth doll you made with the family as a memento.

City tours of Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki,

St Peter and Paul Fortress and Hermitage Museum in

Classical culture meets modern metropolis in this exploration of mainland Greece, where ancient cliff-top
monasteries and Spartan history mingle with the temples of Olympic gods.
It’s Insider moments like… the aniseed bite of a welcome ouzo shot, warming a trail to your stomach, at the
olive groves and vineyard of the Karambelas family in Olympia. Touring the grounds, you see traditional
olive harvesting techniques – and, during dinner, you discover the vibrant rich tastes that make these methods
worthwhile, as their tangy oil and ripe olives complement other fresh local produce. Accompanied by wines
selected straight from the barrel, you finish in classical Greek style with music and dancing.

Greek Island Hopper
Mykonos and Santorini are the islands of choice, with three nights on each to soak up the laid-back island lifestyle
of two of Greece’s favorite hot-spots.
It’s Insider moments like… slippery-smooth marble underfoot, you escape the Grecian heat to explore the
shadows of the Acropolis. Leaving the mainland, the rush of the sea beneath you as you speed toward classical
construction of a different kind, and the blue and white Cycladic architecture of Mykonos. Turquoise water and
fine-grained sands call you away from the windmills, maze-like streets and cozy tavernas. Then to Santorini,
volcanic island of epic sunsets, to taste traditional cuisine, and maybe even some local wine.
It's iconic places
City Tour in Athens. Orientation of Mykonos and Santorini. Visit
the Acropolis in Athens. View the Parthenon, Hadrian’s Arch and

European Traveler
A taste of the world’s most romantic cities, this eleven day encounter with Europe isn’t just for couples; it shows
unseen sides of iconic emblems like the Eiffel Tower and Venetian canals.
It’s Insider moments like… hearing your echoing footsteps, and perhaps even Italian choral voices, as you enter
the cool cavernous basilica in the Vatican City. Standing before Michelangelo’s Pietà, the goose bumps could be
coming from the chill of the setting or from sensing you’re standing by a sculpture which is more than 500 years
old. Hearing why it’s the only work its Renaissance creator ever signed, our friend in the Vatican can also share
the ins and outs of this strange secret country – the smallest nation in the world.

It’s Insider moments like… the heat of the roaring furnace as the golden glow of molten glass expands under
the power of an artisan’s lungs in a Venetian glass factory. Finding out the science behind the beauty, you learn
which chemical reactions can be seen in the vibrant swirls of reds, golds and greens in the glass. And you witness
the deft movements of the craftsman; his speed a testament to his skill, as the delicate fragility of his finished
work cools before your eyes.
It's iconic places

native Austrian does – before you asked her to point you in the direction of the best café.

European Spotlight
This spotlight on Europe has one foot in the past, from sinking Venice to Rome’s ancient Colosseum, and the other
firmly in the future – with a trip to revolutionary CERN in Switzerland.
It’s Insider moments like… being in the company of the planet’s leading scientists at CERN – the world’s most
famous physics laboratory. It’s knowing these white-coated physicists are tasked with answering the age-old
question: ‘how did life begin?’ And then it’s heading to Rome to see how the Vatican City answers the same
question in a very different way. From the futuristic to the traditional, it’s experiencing the eternal battle
between science and religion first hand – and hearing our local friend in Rome share their perspective.
It's iconic places
City tour of London, Paris, Florence and Rome. Orientation of
Beaune, Geneva, Monaco, Nice, Cannes, Pisa and Venice. Visit
the Eiffel Tower in Paris and St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. View

Contrasts of Europe
It’s often said ‘it’s not the destination that matters, it’s the journey’. Both matter on this perfectly timetabled train
vacation, as you travel by high-speed train into central Paris, Nice, Florence and Rome.
It’s Insider moments like… the guilty pleasure of literally touching history at the Colosseum. Imagining the
baying Roman crowds waiting to take their seats for a violent gladiator battle – while you skip the queues, with
priority entrance into this ancient arena. In the bowels of the amphitheater, you can see the paths and cell-like
rooms where slaves waited their fate before stepping out to 55,000 spectators. And you can feel the arches, steps,
seats and walls which the Romans touched almost 2,000 years ago.

always men, you get a unique insight into the traditions underpinning this family business.

unfathomably tiny Liechtenstein and the pretty cobbles and canals of medieval Bruges.

weathered rocks into the spray of Europe’s biggest waterfall. This dramatic stop interrupts the calm of the
previous day’s stunning and relaxed Rhine Cruise, today’s scenic drive through the dramatic Black Forest,
and this evening’s tranquil overnight stay at the lakeside escape of Lucerne.

European Supreme
Classic favorites meet the roads less discovered, to give a complete view of Europe’s many faces, from well-known
characters Rome and Paris, to the lesser known personalities and secrets places of Belgrade and Sofia.
It’s Insider moments like… comparing the nuttiness of Holland’s hard cheeses, made at a dairy farm near
Volendam, after finding out how they're made. Being surrounded by the country’s icons, from windmills to clogmaking,
it’s realising these traditions have become clichés for a reason. This open-air ‘living museum’ reveals
the Dutch pride in its heritage. In contrast to Amsterdam’s replica 17th century houses, Europe’s ancientness is
seen in authentic reality at Greece’s clifftop monasteries at Kalambaka.

you make a reservation with us that we accept.
The invalidity of any provisions herein shall not affect the

as though the invalid provision was not contained herein
and was replaced with an enforceable provision as similar
as possible to the original provision.
Disclaimer Travel is personal and each individual’s goals
and experiences may differ. Trafalgar will not be bound by,
or liable for, any description, representation or warranty made
by any independent third party sales representative, Travel
Agent, or other person or entity relating to any vacation
offered by Trafalgar.
Departure Date The departure date is the date indicated
on the Trafalgar confirmation.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE GUIDED VACATION PRICE
Inter-city Travel By private motorcoach, trains and ferries
(see itineraries).
Air Transportation Not included unless otherwise indicated
in the price panel.
Guided Vacation By air-conditioned luxury motorcoaches. On
London sightseeing and some Regional vacations, motorcoaches
including the Middle East and Morocco, without toilet facilities
are used. If due to circumstances beyond our control coaches
are used otherwise than as advertised, a refund of $10 per
person will be made.
Hotel Accommodations Prices are per person, based on two
persons sharing a two-bed room with private bath or shower.
Triple rooms may be available on selected vacations in limited
numbers. Triple rooms will often feature one foldaway bed
plus one double bed. Three adults may find these rooms
small and suitcase space slightly restricted. They are generally
more suitable for two adults and one child.
Every effort has been made to reserve two-bed rooms;
however, on some occasions, rooms with one bed may be
the only choice available. These rooms will be allocated to
single travelers and couples first; other rooms may feature
a single bed and rollaway bed, murphy bed or sleeper sofa.
A limited number of twin-shared rooms are available with
our Guaranteed Room Share service. Special room requests
must be made at time of booking. Special room requests
are not guaranteed and are based on availability at time of
check-in. Many hotels are 100% smoke-free, including guest
rooms, restaurants, lounges, meeting rooms, public spaces,
and employee work areas. Smoking in a non-smoking room
may result in a fine.
Substitute hotels may be used sometimes. We try to use
hotels of similar standard. Hotel Frequent Traveler program
points are not earned with hotels on Trafalgar vacations.
Cruises Per person prices are based on two persons sharing
a cabin with two berths, private shower and toilet. A limited
number of single cabins are available at an extra cost. On
Nile cruises, triple rooms are not available.
Free WiFi Internet Service Complimentary WiFi service
is available in many Trafalgar hotel guestrooms and/or the
public areas of most hotels. In most countries complimentary
WiFi is also provided on-board the coaches. The WiFi on the
coaches uses the cellular phone network and as a result the
connection will be slower than standard broadband and at
times may not be available. In some countries this service
will not be available. WiFi is not available on City Breaks, or
when main Trafalgar coach is not being used, such as on
transfer coaches and other local coach services. For further
information please refer to the Trafalgar website.
Travel Director Guided vacations are conducted in English
by a professional Travel Director. On City Breaks there may
be a Local Expert instead of a Travel Director. In Egypt,
only itineraries of 10 people or more will be guided by a
Travel Director. In Turkey and Israel, vacations are conducted
by a Local Guide. In the unlikely event that there are fifteen
guests or less traveling on a departure, Trafalgar reserves the
right to operate this departure on an individual basis with
private transfers and individual arrangements. Please refer to
the individual guided vacation. Pre-or-post itinerary extensions
are operated on a locally hosted basis using regular English
speaking Local Expert services.
Meals Meals are included as detailed on itineraries.
Sightseeing Excursions, entrance fees and English-speaking
guide (when required) are included as detailed in the itinerary pages.
Transfers Between airports, hotels, railway stations and piers
are included as indicated on each guided vacation itinerary.
Transfers in London will only be included provided guests
have booked a land and air package with Trafalgar (please see
’Airport Transfers’ section for further details). There will be no
refund for missed or unused airport transfers.
Porterage Baggage handling of one suitcase per person, at
each guided vacation hotel and porter service at airports for all
intra-air flights (indicated in the itineraries) is included in the
guided vacation price. Due to limited coach capacity, a single
bag is allowed with dimensions not exceeding 30”x18”x10”
and weight not exceeding 50 lbs. Airlines may impose stricter
weight and size limits for luggage and may also charge fees
for checked baggage, including the first checked bag. Please
check with your airline(s) directly for their most current baggage
regulations and related fees. Trafalgar is not responsible for
additional fees imposed by air carriers regarding baggage.
A charge of US$6 or local currency equivalent per traveling
day will be collected by the Travel Director if a second piece
of baggage is permitted to be carried, or if suitcase exceeds
weight or size limits. This is not assurance that luggage in
excess of limits on size, weight and number of pieces will be
permitted on the coach.
Carry-on/hand luggage is restricted to one piece per person,
not exceeding 12”x11”x6” to fit under your coach seat or in the
small overhead compartment. Carry-on/hand luggage handling
is the responsibility of each guest and must be taken on and
off the motorcoach by you each day of the guided vacation.
Carry-ons with telescopic handles and wheels will not
fit in the overhead compartments or under seats and,
therefore, cannot be accepted as carry-on luggage.
Trafalgar and Trafalgar’s affiliated entities shall not be liable for
loss or damage to baggage or any guest’s belongings. Guests
should immediately report lost items to the Travel Director who
will assist in completing a lost property form that can be used for
an insurance claim. Trafalgar cannot assist in locating lost items
after the guest disembarks or completes the Trafalgar vacation.
Tips/Gratuities Tips/gratuities are included for services on
guided vacation provided by dining-room waiters, chambermaids

GENERAL INFORMATION & CONDITIONS

tariffs, rates, prices, taxes, levies, exchange rates and other
considerations as of the production date of this brochure
(see back cover). All are subject to change. No surcharges
regarding cost or currency fluctuations will be made to the
LAND only price once the deposit is received. No refund will
be made on account of reduction of any of the above. If the
total guided vacation price increases by more than 7%, guests

days of notification of the surcharge without penalty. All prices
are in Canadian Dollars unless specified.
Other Fees and Taxes Taxes and fees are subject to
change without notice and will be confirmed at time of

Guided Vacation Participation On all guided vacations
children under 5 years of age are not eligible to travel. Children
under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult,
who will be responsible for their welfare and supervision.
Trafalgar seeks to provide a safe, enjoyable and memorable
travel experience for all guests. Trafalgar welcomes guests
with special needs or disabilities. Please note the following:
- Guests must advise Trafalgar, in advance, as early as
possible, of any physical, medical or other special needs
that require accommodating. Trafalgar will make reasonable
modifications to its policies, practices and procedures when
necessary, unless doing so will fundamentally alter the
nature of the services provided.
- Guests must ensure they are medically and physically
able to travel.
- Trafalgar may impose safety requirements. Trafalgar may exclude
an individual from participating in a guided vacation or an
activity if the individual’s participation poses a direct threat
to health or safety of others that cannot be eliminated by a
reasonable modification of policies, practices or procedures or
by the provision of auxiliary aids and services. This decision
to exclude an individual will be based on an individualized
assessment based on reasonable judgment that relies on
current medical evidence or on the best available objective
evidence to determine the nature, duration and severity of
the risk, the probability that potential injury will occur and
whether reasonable modifications of policies, practices or
procedures will mitigate the risk.
- Trafalgar does not provide personal devices (such as
wheelchairs, hearing aids or prescription eye glasses) or
services of a personal nature (such as eating, toileting or
dressing). A traveler who requires services of a personal
nature (eating, toileting or dressing, as examples) should
consider bringing a companion to provide such assistance
and must understand that other travelers, Travel Directors
and Trafalgar Staff will not be available for such purpose.
- Regrettably, motorized scooters are not allowed on guided
vacations.
Trafalgar does not employ medical personnel. Any necessary
medical attention must be sought at a local facility, if available,
at the guest’s expense. Trafalgar is not responsible or liable
for losses or costs incurred due to unavailability of medical
services, or medical services obtained while on vacation, or
for the quality of the care or services received.
Some guided vacations include rough terrain, extensive walking
over cobblestone streets, uneven pavement, steps and locations
which may not be easily accessible or accessible by wheelchair.
During the guided vacation, Trafalgar may make arrangements
with carriers, hotels and other independent suppliers to
provide travel services. These parties are independent entities
which Trafalgar does not control. Trafalgar cannot guarantee
disability access or accommodations for guests traveling on
international guided vacations.
Many Optional Experiences are operated by independent
third party suppliers, not Trafalgar. These are not part of the
package vacation provided by us. Your contract will be with
the operator of the experience. We are not responsible for
providing of the experience, or anything that happens during
the experience. Some experiences involve outdoor activities
and/or can be physically demanding. You must make your own
decisions about experiences and participate only in activities that
suit your physical ability. We recommend you check whether
any insurance you have also includes your participation in
adventure activities you may undertake.
Trafalgar may, in its sole discretion, decline booking any guest
or remove any guest who cannot comply or refuses to comply
with Trafalgar’s terms and conditions.
Behavior We are here to provide the best services possible
but in doing so we will not tolerate abusive or aggressive
behavior from our Guests. We will refuse to deal with and
may terminate the vacation of people who assault our Company
Representatives or who continue to be verbally abusive or
aggressive when asked to behave reasonably.
When you make a booking, you accept responsibility for the
proper conduct of all members of your party during your
stay. We reserve the right at any time to terminate the travel
arrangements and/or cease to deal with any party member(s)
whose behavior, in the reasonable opinion of us or our
suppliers, may cause danger, upset, disruption or distress to
anyone else or damage to property. Full cancellation charges
will apply and no refund will be made. We shall have no
obligation to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses
(including but not limited to alternative accommodations and
return transportation arrangements) guest may incur as a result
of the travel arrangements being terminated.
If you damage the accommodations in which you are staying
or any property, you must reimburse the accommodation
provider or property owner concerned for the cost of the
damage before the end of your stay if the cost has been
established by then or as soon as it has been established
if later. You must indemnify us for the full amount of any
claim (also including legal costs) made against us. Criminal
proceedings may be instigated. Trafalgar is not responsible
for any costs incurred concerning a guest removed from a
guided vacation or aircraft, ship or train. Guests agree not
to hold Trafalgar or any of its related entities liable for any
actions taken under these terms and conditions.

under age 18 on the vacation departure date, and must be
accompanied by an adult, sharing a twin room. The Young
Traveler must be the specified age at the start of travel
to be eligible for the discount. Only one Young Traveler

Itinerary Variations Trafalgar strives to improve guided
vacation itineraries, services and features. If improvements
can be made, or if circumstances beyond our control make
changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries
and to substitute hotels. At certain peak periods multiple
departures may operate, sometimes in reverse order; hotels
may vary from those stated on the itinerary pages. On guided
vacations which include cruises, the ship may be changed for
operational reasons. Departures in early and late season are
potentially operated in cool weather conditions. As a result,
itinerary variations may occur. Certain activities may not be
precisely as described or may not be available due to seasonality
or weather conditions. We try to notify you or your Travel
Agent of changes. If your enjoyment may be diminished by
such limitations, please check with us or your Travel Agent
before making a reservation.
Trafalgar’s ‘Be My Guest’ experiences are unique and take place
in singular exclusive locations. In the unlikely event that our
local hosts are unable to welcome Trafalgar guests, Trafalgar
will attempt to find an alternate experience or a highlight meal
will be provided in place of the ‘Be My Guest’ experience.
Holidays & Changes During local or national holidays,
certain facilities such as museums, sightseeing trips and
shopping may be limited or unavailable. In such instances
itinerary changes are made by Trafalgar seeking to reduce
inconvenience to guests. Such changes are deemed not to
be a major change to the itinerary, and no compensation
will be payable to guests. Holidays, closing days and other
circumstances may necessitate a change of the day of the
week for scheduled highlight dinners, sightseeing or other
activities. If, you feel your enjoyment might be diminished by
any of these circumstances please check with the respective
national tourist office before selecting a specific departure date.
Extended stays If you arranged with us to remain at a
destination before or after your guided vacation, your stay
will be at your sole expense as is the transfer to either the
hotel or airport. Please see the ‘Extend Your Stay in Gateway
Cities’ section for a list of pre and post guided vacation
accommodations. Space is limited and if available is for up
to three nights before and/or after each guided vacation.
Breakfast and luggage handling is not included unless otherwise
noted. Trafalgar does not provide complimentary transfers for
guests booking pre-and post-night accommodations. However,
inexpensive airport transfers can be purchased from Trafalgar. If
your extra night accommodations is not the hotel where your
guided vacation begins or ends, you will be responsible for
your transfer arrangements at your own expense.
For your comfort Trafalgar operates a daily seat rotation
system and enforces a strict no smoking and no alcohol policy
on board motorcoaches. Regular comfort stops are made on
traveling days. Many hotels, restaurants, trains, cruises and
other venues are 100% smoke free.
Guided Vacation Cancellation Trafalgar reserves the right
to cancel or re-schedule any guided vacation departure in
any circumstances, including in accordance with operating
requirements or circumstances beyond its control. If cancellation
is made by Trafalgar any time prior to departure date of the
guided vacation except when you failed to pay the final balance
on time, Trafalgar will either refund the amount received for
the guided vacation booking, or offer a comparable vacation
if available. (Trafalgar will refund any difference in price
if the alternative is of a lower price however, the Guest
will be responsible for additional costs if the alternative is
priced higher.) Trafalgar is not responsible for other travel
arrangements affected due to our cancellations and is not
liable for any cancellation penalties incurred on other travel
arrangements including air tickets.

purchase comprehensive Travel Insurance. Certain countries
have a requirement for foreign visitors to have valid medical
insurance on entry. Trafalgar cannot be held responsible
for denied entry if a guest is unable to provide details to
authorities of insurance or denial of entry for any reason.

Triple Room Discount
When you book a triple room we give discounts to all three
guests – see itinerary pages for savings.
Available on selected vacations – see itinerary pages. Cannot be combined with Group
Discount. Discount only applies to the land part of your vacation. Rooms suitable for 2
adults and 1 child (three adults may find rooms too small as they often have 1 double and 1
foldaway bed with limited suitcase space).
Single Travelers
We know solo travelers have different needs – some want
the privacy of their own room while others would rather save
money and share.
Guaranteed Room Share
We’ll pair you up (don’t worry they’ll be the same gender) and, if
we can’t pair you, you’ll get a single room at no extra cost.
Single Supplement
To see our low single room prices, just check our itinerary pages.
PERSIAN Solo travel is not accepted on guided Family Experiences vacations unless travelling as part
of a family group. Sharing guests may be of different ages and will be in non-smoking twin
GULF bed rooms. Guaranteed Room Share is not available for City Breaks, Family Experiences,
special interest vacations with trains, extra night stays or Eastern Mediterranean trips (except
