Trafalgar Tours: Tour Directors

by suelobo on March 3, 2011

Sightseeing is fun but it’s a Trafalgar Tour Director that really brings a destination to life. Our Tour Directors are the finest in the industry. Their local knowledge and unfailing friendliness provides you with a personalized “concierge” service which ensures you get the very best out of every single day. They are experienced travelers, learned historians and culture buffs. Through their in-depth expertise, you’ll discover the history and be immersed in cultures of the places you visit.

Your Tour Directors can help interpret, show you how to get good value while shopping and how to spot a fake from the real deal. They make things smoother, more interesting and ultimately more enjoyable. They are your friend in an unfamiliar place.

Trafalgar also uses expert local guides to further enhance your sightseeing experience. When you are traveling on your own it’s all too easy to pass through a place without touching the sides. That’s why our expert local guides are so invaluable – they tell the less well known tales, relate the more curious stories, recall the most obscure events and reveal the best guarded secrets to ensure every moment is full of discovery and brimming with surprises.

Trafalgar Tours Unique and Authentic Experiences

by suelobo on February 15, 2011

The richness of a destination, such as its culture and its heritage is often revealed through its cuisine. That’s why Trafalgar goes to great lengths to give you culinary experiences with our Highlight and Farewell dinners, Wine Pairing with Dinner, intriguing Local Specialities programs and our exclusive “Be My Guest” dining opportunities in authentic family homes, farms and chateaux.

On every tour you will enjoy breakfast daily with a mix of hot/cold buffets or cooked breakfasts. Lunches are generally not included so that you have the flexibility to choose whatever takes your fancy. Your Tour Director will also be on hand to point out the best eateries that only locals know about. Around 50% of all dinners are also included which will give you a real taste of your destination, with the opportunity to experience more, with recommendations from your Tour Director.

Be My Guest

Trafalgar now offers Be My Guest dining experiences on selected tours in Europe, North America, and South America. With Be My Guest, you’ll be invited into family homes or to unique dining venues for a real taste, not only of delicious food, but of local culture.

Local Specialities

In Europe and North America, Trafalgar’s Local Specialities bring traditions to life, with chances to watch artisans ply their craft and learn about the history of their trade. In Europe you’ll sample local wines, enjoy hot Swiss cheese fondue and participate in olive oil tastings. In North America you’ll visit a fortune cookie factory, learn how to make your own chocolate at Hershey’s Chocolate World, tour wineries and breweries and learn the art of glass blowing.

 Your palate won’t be the only thing to appreciate Trafalgar’s approach to travel; your hunger for knowledge will be satisfied as well.

North America Wine Pairing with Dinner

When touring premier wine-growing regions in North America such as California’s Napa Valley, Canada’s Niagara Peninsula and Victoria’s wine growing region, you’ll enjoy fine locally produced wines with dinner. You’ll learn about each wine and why it’s been selected to complement each course of your meal. New to our 2011 itineraries, this exclusive feature is sure to have you toasting Trafalgar with your new friends!
