Style Style Small Group Tour Small groups are usually defined as between 10 and 24 travelers, often less. If you're the kind of person who enjoys more intimate experiences and personal service this is a good choice. All else being equal you will pay a premium for this style vs a larger group tour.
Private Guided Private tours give you the undivided attention of a guide, and often involve special access to sites and unique experiences not available to larger groups. This is a great option for families, couples, and small friend groups. Expect to pay a bit more for the extra service.
Self Guided Tour A travel company plans your itinerary and arranges all the logistics including lodging, local activities, and transportantion. You have the flexibility of a solo trip while still getting the convience and time savings of expert planning. Get 90% of the benefits of a tour, without a guide.
Group Tour Groups are between 25-60 people, typically ~30-40. Usually there will be many opportunities to split off and enjoy meals and excursions in smaller groups. This is the most economical way to travel, saving up to 40% versus booking the same itinerary yourself.
River Cruise These vessels are smaller than most ocean cruisers, limiting which amenties are available. Passenger counts can vary. One of the biggest advantages of a river cruise is the ability to dock at smaller ports and local villages.
Small Ship Cruise Small ship cruises usually have a max passenger count of 500. The primary purpose of these trips is to spend time off the vessel in local ports (e.g. Mediterranean) or experiencing nature (e.g Galapagos or Antarctica). Cabins can vary from budget to luxury.
Large Ship Cruise This is the "floating city" experience, with multiple ways to enjoy your vacation aboard the ship as much as on land. Ships are multiple floors, provide several activities, culinary, and shopping options. They often make fewer stops and have less time available for shore excursions.
Retreats Similar to a self guided tour but staying in one location only with activities and day outings included as a part of the stay.

Great tour guide, Alex. Trip was well laid out, experiences fantastic. I went on this trip with my daughter and we both enjoyed immensely.
Negatives- very mediocre hotels. One, near rome was on a pothole filled single lane road. Thankfully we had a good bus driver. Group meals were mostly poor to mediocre.

We enjoyed our trip, but, there are a few improvements we think would make it even better.
Food. The breakfasts were ok and even very good in some of the hotels. But, the dinners that were provided were lacking. I believe that better options could be provided. We received the exact meal 3 times. There were boiled potatoes or fries with a piece of meat at each meal. We could have been given a different vegetable, a salad, or choice between two entrees. I know that it is supposed to be geared for kids, and we need to be quick, but neither adults or the kids were satisfied with the meals we received. We weren’t expecting 5 star meals, but, these were truly subpar.
The food was very inexpensive, and could have at least included a soft drink.
Our tour guides were very good. Informational talks and we saw wonderful places. It would have been nice to be able to tour inside more of the sites, rather than just seeing from outside. We missed several opportunities in Hungary and Dresden.
Kaja was wonderful and very accommodating. We all would love to have another experience with her in the future.
Overall, the tour was so fast paced, even for the kids, at times, that it decreased the enjoyment. Maybe seeing fewer sites and spending more in depth time might be better?
