This was my first experience using La Vacanza Travel. We were excited about having a smaller van take us to Belgium and back to Paris. We arrived at the pick up location 15 minutes early so as not to be late. The minivan driver arrived 45 minutes late. We stood outside in 40° weather that was windy and cloudy for 60 minutes at 7 AM. We tried calling Clewel Travel direct multiple times with the contact information on the voucher. They did not answer the call until after the third attempt over a 30 minute period of time. We weren’t sure if we would be going to Belgium or not that day, which was very disappointing for a first time La Vacanza Travel experience. The reason we were told that the driver was late was due to the other couple being late. We were not confident that that was a true statement, rather an excuse. It was very disheartening and disappointing that for a tour booked with five participants that only speak English that the driver would not speak any English and could not. That made for an uncomfortable 7+ hours in a minivan without an ability to say when it’s getting hot or cold or someone needed to stop for a restroom break. The driver was unfriendly in disposition and did not drive safely. At one point he stopped so abruptly someone in the backseat fell forward and hit the seat in front of them. In another situation, a passenger screamed when there was almost an accident. Because we were departing Paris 60 minutes late, a text was received from Clewel Travel and La Vacanza Travel that we would receive an additional hour of time to spend in Bruges, Belgium. Since the driver could not speak English and did not receive the message, we did not get the extra hour we had been promised. There were four bottles of water left by each of the seats and when we asked for a fifth one for the fifth person, the driver couldn’t understand what we were asking or couldn’t find more water. It was unclear. So one person was just out of luck on the tour, we did notice the driver was drinking one of the bottles of water. The tour guide in Bruges Belgium was very pleasant and nice. He did not though read his audience very well. It was explained to him in the beginning that because we were arriving so late, that none of us had had lunch. It was about 1:00 PM when the tour started. After two hours, it was clear that all of us were very hungry and wanted to break for lunch. His passion for history of Bruges did not enable him to see people squirming and uncomfortable and wanting to eat lunch. So we asked to discontinue the portion of the tour so that we could eat. Maybe some advice for the English speaking guide in the future would be to ask when do customers want to break for lunch, rather than what the schedule dictates-specially given any adjustments to the schedule for lateness on behalf of the tour company. The Bruges guide was friendly & helpful otherwise. Overall, late driver… unpleasant driver… unsafe driver… no-to-low communication… shortened trip… promised extra time but not received… and long, long day. Would never take a trip again via La Vacanza Travel if Clewel Travel is listed as the local provider.

We switched to the private tour bc we were the only.ones in our groupf. It was great to have driver pick up and drop.off at our place. We had an amazing tour by Jerome that me and my daughter loved and then just loved all the free time to explore, have lunch and enjoy this beautiful place. Highly recommend

Bruges is a beautiful place to visit and our guide, Jerome, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. There were only two other people on our tour so it was a nice small group with plenty of room in the mini van. Unfortunately, we selected a cold and rainy day to visit so we decided not to take the river boat cruise we had been looking forward to taking. We still managed to have a great time, take beautiful photos, shop, as well as enjoy some Belgian fries, waffles, and chocolates!

This is a definitely must do trip. We cannt wait to try this experience again. Our driver Rusty was excellent, the ride was comfortable. Our tour guide Jerome was the best tour guide in Bruges, he was very knowledgeable and dedicated. I would definitely want to request him as our tour guide again.
