We had a great time until the last excursion day when we waited until 12 noon at our hotel before travel thus arriving in Nice at 5pm. A coach would have taken about 3 hours door to door and given us the whole afternoon in Nice.

Badly organised. The last 2 days especially. We were in Genoa with our luggage so lunch was a nasty snack in the station. We arrived in our room in Nice at 6.40 in time for dinner at 7.30. We saw nothing of Nice.

The Italian Riviera was everything I had hoped it would be. However, I had not really appreciated how much time would be spent on the train without a break, particularly on the return journey. Including the rail travel to my home in Plymouth I was on the train for a total 11 hours on that last day. Also. I had not appreciated how much walking was involved as I suffer from serious arthritis in my knees and hips. I thought that the hotel accommodation was generally very good, particularly in Turin although perhaps a greater choice of menu might have been better or perhaps leaving the party to go out and find evening meals at venues of their choice might have been better. Finally, I thought that, considering that the group would initially be spending a lot of time together in travelling from St Pancras to Turin, it might have been better for the whole group to have met up the day before travelling, spending the night in a London hotel with dinner which would allow time for the group to get to know each other quicker. Some single travellers were left somewhat isolated during the journey from London and before that first evening meal in Turin,

There is, I suspect, an image that appears in everyone’s heads, when someone says the words 'European café'.
