Rave Reviews: Tour Hotels

Our guidebook research gives us an edge in discovering the charming, centrally-located, often family-run hotels that promise to be a memorable part of your travel experience.

Often quaint (sometimes creaky), and full of personality, they are run by Europeans who are also our friends. "Shared facilities" have all but disappeared from European hotels, so there's about a 98% chance your room will include a private bath. However, there will still be stairs — hundreds of them. Many of our hotels don't have elevators...one more reason to pack light and be in good shape.

If you're traveling solo, you won't pay the mandatory "single supplement" required by other tour companies. Instead, you'll share a room with another tour member of the same gender. If you'd prefer to sleep alone, we offer a limited number of optional single supplements on all 2010 tours for an additional fee.

Hotel Frimurare in Kalmar, Sweden "Hotel Frimurare was great; so friendly, and the 2nd floor sitting area was so comfortable for a group of us to chat after dinner." — Caryl in Kirkland, WA Schluxen Hotel in Austria "I loved the farm in Pinswang, Austria. The bunnies, the ponies, the bike ride to the river...woke up to hearing the cows "moo" and the clink of their bells...What could be better?" — Denise in Redmond, WA Hotel Londres Eiffel, Paris "It was the perfect home-away-from-home for the traveler. The two ladies who cleaned and helped with breakfast each day were always singing and laughing. The front desk staff was extremely helpful and charming." — Bonnie in St. Augustine, FL Hotel des Remparts in Beaune, France "Hotel Remparts in Beaune, France was a quaint hotel. It was worth carrying my luggage up three flights of stairs." — Eden in Irvine, CA Hotel Accademia, Florence "The Hotel Accademia was really special because of the owners and staff. It was also the noisiest, but I would stay there again in a heartbeat." — Kathleen in Lithia, FL Read more Tour Member Feedback for uncensored opinions about our tours
