The trip was exceptional, seeing Southern France to the middle and then PAris was exceptional. The people, the area, the ship, the employees. All was terrific

Grand Circle Romantic Blue Danube: Budapest to Prague
We were on the reverse schedule, landed in Prague - 3 nights in a great hotel, then on to Austria and its many interesting cities. Second time to visit Vienna and saw some areas not visited before. Love Vienna, loved the classical music concert, the visit to the Apricot growing Wauchau valley. On to Budapest with all its beauty. Last night of the cruise the Captain took us up the Danube for a beautiful evening tour of all the flood-lighted buildings including Buda Castle, the Budapest Parliament and the Chain Bridge. Glorious. Met some lovely fellow passengers and celebrated my sister's birthday with the "Birthday Parade" featuring all kitchen and lounge persons with sparklers and birthday cake! All in all the cruise was two weeks of relaxation, beautiful scenery and gorgeous city and village tours.

Dear world travelers, I'm thrilled to share my transformative French journey with you all. From the charming streets of Paris to a scenic Rhone River cruise that ended on the French Riviera, my incredible journey with GCT was the trip of a lifetime!

I didn't go due to inadequate service of OAT. Employees kept telling me to wait on Visa for Algeria. I was denied visa and not informed until the Friday before departure on Wednesday . At that time, it was too late to change flight for Tunisia. Employee told me to cancel trip..OAT was no help at all. First time to travel with OAT. Never will attempt to travel with them again. I travel internationally for vacation 3-5 times a year. Have used many companies and always satisfied. Worst customer service ever!! Do not travel with OAT!!!!

I have always liked grand Circle because of the educational experience and that value. However, they’ve made recent changes to their service. I booked a trip to Lyon and they sent me a letter saying I had a double bed and not two twins. There are two women traveling together and we won’t fit in a double bed. I went to change to a twin bed and they charged me $1000. I could’ve canceled but then we would’ve been able to go and it was an important eventfor my daughter’s graduation from college with her masters. Highly disappointed with Grand Circle. Especially since they knew there were issues-they sent me the letter!
