History
Many tours and small ship cruises have an element of history in their itineraries. For true history buffs, however, some destinations especially lend themselves to making history the focus of the trip: Rome, Athens, Angkor Wat, and Egypt to name a few. You can find specific tours and trip itineraries that cater to historically minded travelers, and even some tour operators who specialize in the field.

Best of Portugal

Best of Portugal
Tour covered the most cities/regions of any that we researched. We were happy overall with the destinations although there were a few things that we did not get to see that I would have liked to see. LOTS of walking (averaged about 10,000 steps/day). Would have liked to have a little more "free time" for exploring & shopping.

Italy Bellissimo

Italy Bellissimo
I loved the trip to Italy with Trafalgar. It was for 20th wedding anniversary. I and my husband enjoyed so much. The schedule of trip and places were good. The optional places we have been were awesome. Once we started to travel was great. But I wish to have more detail informations about trip. For example, the places we would visit, and which places were included…. etc. I will think to use Trafalga again if I plan to travel. Thanks for good experience.

Make sure you take a face cloth because they do not have them in the hotels. The people are very helpful and pleasant in Portugal. The itinerary needs to improve when it is raining. Have a plan B for very rainy days. The food is very good and the local guides were very good with a lot of information.
