⚠ Announcement

►All the hotels were extremely nice, except for Cumulus in Turku, which I would not recommend for anyone. The room was rundown, the breakfast was skimpy, and the staff was definitely not helpful. We appreciated the fact that we were able to have early check-in in all the hotels. When we showed up at the Sokos Original Villas in Tampere at about 5:00 am, they were not prepared for that early of a check-in, but they made arrangements so that we had a room to sleep in until our room was ready. The staff there and the staff at Sokos Paasi in Helsinki were particularly helpful and warm, so that we were treated as family and looked after. The transportation arrangements all worked, as you assured me they would. The only problem was with the overnight train, which was my fault. I just assumed we would have couches that converted to beds, instead of bunk beds. My husband and I, both in our 70s and of restricted mobility, did argue over who would be stuck with the top bunk. We resolved the problem by taking the mattress of that bunk and putting it on the floor. Of course, when my husband, who is 6'6" laid down on it, we did not have to lock the door because no one could get in or out of the compartment. I appreciate the fact that during the months before the trip and during the trip, you stayed in touch with me. This is our second time using European Destinations, and we plan on continuing to use it. We also have recommended it to several of our friends. Thank you for enabling us to see so much of the world.
