Albatross Tours Bewertungen 

After all the trips we did with Albatross over the past decade you would think just one email let alone a phone call to check on my wife’s welfare would have been appreciated. Sadly not a peep.

Thought we saw enough during the day with enough my time to relax and take in our own interests.

Tour manager was exceptional as we're the bus drivers. Friendly, knowledgeable and always obliging.
We saw some fantastic and memorable places and had amazing experiences.
Our group blended well, as well

Honest, fantastic communication, excellent service.

The staff were fantastic and had so much local knowledge it made the holiday both enjoyable and educational

It relaxed. Well guided. Fantastic places visited. Accommodation very good

I think that Darren our leader did the best he could with all of us. I was told I should have chosen a more suitable tour. I thought I had signed up to go to a well known concert with a few bus trips to visit nearby castles. Unfortunately the hours of walking were a bit past my capabilities on occasions and I couldn’t keep up all the time even though I had practised walking at home. Kind tourists on our bus were very sympathetic and helpful and put up with my lack of speed. On occasion I was able to walk better as my jet lag reduced. I was pleased I got to the top of the Tree Walk platform still in the midst of the group surprisingly. Each evening, later in the tour, I talked the day over with my carer Pauline and decided which tours I could do and which to avoid. As the days progressed she kept a closer eye on me in case I had been left too far behind so I more or less managed. I had been much better on previous trips. In the end I was so exhausted I missed more than I wanted to but was so delighted to visit Rüdesheim again and also find similar towns not too far away though in reality I’ll never be able to visit them. I couldn’t wait to get home as I was so disappointed. Now I have to wait until the latter bout of Jetlag has passed. I doubt I’ll be able to visit the Northern Hemisphere again. Maybe visit NZ as it’s not so far from Oz but I’ll have to wait and see.

We had a great time on our tour, loved the 3 day stays, the varied experiences, and appreciated the knowledge & care of our guide.

Had a great trip. Darren our tour guide was very experienced and knowledgeable pointed out sights of interest and gave us history of the places we visited. He mixed with everyone freely and made sure everything was ok. Marcus our bus driver was excellent getting us places always happy smile on his face. It would have been good to gave air con in all hotels

Just returned from Albatross tours of Northern Spain and Pyrenees.This was my 3rd trip with Albatross,while the previous tours were outstanding ,this tour was disappointing.
Our tour guide became very ill in the first few days of the tour and needed to be hospitalised,this was unexpected and I wish him nothing but a a speedy recovery and good wishes.
I felt the contingency plan was very disorganised,leaving us with the bus driver,who was amazing and did his best to fill in as guide and driver which wasnt ideal to be driving and telling us about the journey.This was an interim fix until the next guide came to take us to dinner,then another guide to take over,who by her own admission wasn’t familiar with the tour.Doing the very best she could to make our trip enjoyable,she was delightful.
The tour itself didn’t offer any “Experiences” that the previous tours I have done with Albatross and we were left to our own devices on many occasions.One hotel was situated at the top of a mountain had magnificent views,but had to be reached by the finicular which stopped running at 8.30pm ,if you went to dinner in town you had to be back to reach the finicular in time or walk up the very steep road in the dark.Not ideal.
This Hotel also charged 25euro for a Gin &Tonic.
All together this tour was disappointing,I was often asked by others on tour who had not travelled with Albatross before,if this was consistent with the Company.I did say that I have never been disappointed with previous tours and that this wasnt what I had experienced before.
I don’t believe that this was a Premium tour that Albatross charged us for.Unlike other Albatross tours I have done.

We have just completed the Italian Grande tour for the second time. The first was in 2019. To our surprise there were some small changes in places to see and stay. Both tours were simply brilliant, great tour guides, Antonia (1st) and Helen (2) who we got to know both well. The same fantastic coach company and driver. If you love Italy as we do, Albatross is the only way to see it. We have completed 7 European, Ireland and Uk Albatross tours now. Just BRILLIANT.

Well organised, an excellent tour director and fellow passengers. Plenty of free time, combined with organised walking tours, points of interest and various palaces, cathedrals, gardens, etc.

I did back to back Albatross tours and they were fabulous. The tour guides were great, especially Gilberto who conducted the Swiss New year Adventure. The hotels and food were excellent. Everything ran smoothly.

We had a wonderful tour

The tour was good, but I found the rooms in some of the hotels were not very good and whilst the hotels were lovely, I sometimes felt that we were treated differently because we were part of a tour group. Inferior rooms, seperate dining areas and a general vibe from some staff in bar areas etc.

Helen our tour manager and our driver could not do enough to make sure we had a great time
