Customizing a Trafalgar Tours Europe Itinerary

We skipped out. It was as simple as that. On a warm spring evening in Madrid, while the rest of the travelers on our Trafalgar Tours Europe trip went out for a group dinner, we went somewhere else. Skipping out was just one way we made the most of our tour of Spain.

Stonehenge Inner Circle Tours

There was a time when all visitors to Stonehenge could walk amongst the stones and touch them, but these days the site has been roped off to protect the stones and the vegetation surrounding them. Fortunately, if you want to get past the ropes, there are still a few options.
