This is my first time traveling with Take Tours, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Lex (Our tour guide) and Joseph (The bus driver). I booked the full Europe tour for 14 days and I was traveling with my baby son 6 months, but they both were very accommodating and extremely helpful when I needed them. Lex was very knowledgeable about the areas we were visiting and kept us entertained on the way there. Also, he was very honest and explained everything to us, so it makes you feel good about traveling with him, he also was very organized and his time management skills were 10 out of 10. Keeping the entire group on time and making sure everyone is enjoying their time. You can tell he loves what he is doing and enjoy his job. Joseph, our bus driver. He was a super nice polite guy, and very helpful. He always will get out of his seat to get the baby stroller ready for me to use it when we stop at any place. Also, he was very knowledgeable about the roads and he never got lost. Always willing to lend a helping hand when needed too. This was my first time traveling with Take tours, but definitely not the last because we really enjoyed our vacation and time!
Side note, this tour requires a lot of walking and full energy because it always goes go go, but the whole point is you get to see many places that you won't be able to visit in this short time. For some of the places we visited we could have had a little more time so can explore well, but again the timing was an issue, such as Switzerland, San Remo, Monaco, and Venis. On the other hand, taking the full 14 days, some places you almost visit twice because of the tour path. such as France, and Germany-Frankfurt, so there could be some adjustments made to the schedule to make better use of the time travel. Finally, the time spent sitting on the bus, especially when traveling between a few countries was extremely long, and end up spending couple of different days just sitting on the bus but that was due to the distance between the cities.

The tour guide was cheerful and willing to help in any way possible to ensure the comfort of each individual passenger - even when it came to purchasing extra days of the nearest hotel! The bus driver also bought us little knick knacks when we were in Paris, which i thought was very sweet.
The accommodation was between Hilton and Ibis hotels. Ibis is small but the staff were very friendly and the hotels are in central locations (i.e near the train stations or a short taxi drive away) from the main attractions.
The only problem i had with the transportation on the bus is that the toilet wasn't working at the time. However, the driver accommodated the passengers by stopping every 2 hours at a rest stop once we had a long journey ahead.
