Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Overview
You’ll cross Europe from Prague to Vienna and on to Paris, pausing among Rome’s timeworn ruins and traveling beneath the pale peaks of the Alps before water laps against your private boat on the way to your Venice hotel. In Prague, perhaps you will walk through the courtyard of the 1,000-year-old Prague Castle and beneath the Gothic spires of St Vitus Cathedral or join a Local Specialist in the historic Jewish Quarter, walking between the weathered stones of the Jewish Cemetery. On the Danube in Budapest, dinner is served as your boat glides past the city’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, glowing across the river while music drifts across the water.
