We just returned from a ED purchased trip to Germany, Austria, and Italy. It was fantastic, and we saved about $1,000 per person by using them. (There were 3 of us). This was our best trip ever, and ED was definitely the way to go. Our trip included airfare, train tickets, two transfers, multiple sightseeing tours, and hotels in 5 cities, some of them with half board. Here are some tips: Bottom Line: ED`s website will help you build a complete trip easier than any other website out there, with more choices. Had I booked each item myself direct, I could have gotten the same air, train, and hotels for the same price as I paid ED, but with the ED package, I also received meals, tours, travel insurance, and transfers. Don`t hesitate to use ED. Thank you European Destinations for a trip of a lifetime. We took my 70 year old mother and your service and purchasing power allowed us to travel comfortably with all the bells and whistles of a Guided Tour, but with the adventure of independent travel. Our Trip included airfare, two key transfers, 4 tours and acitivies, 10 nights lodging in truly outstanding hotels in Munich, Salzburg, Zell am See, Innsbruck, and Venice, all train tickets, all breakfasts, and 6 of 10 suppers. All of this for $2700 per person, at least $1,000 pp less than guided tours with lower quality hotels, less meals, and less included activites. Plus we were independent..a much better way to see Europe.. Thank you again for a great trip!
