The wow moment was watching the most beautiful sunset from our room at Kempinski Hotel overlooking the Alps. Unforgettable.

Robyn and Martin, 2019

Great trip and good fun! Very well organised balance of golf and sightseeing. Our tour host did a great job as our organiser. 

Dudley, 2019

The highlights for me were Prague in Czech Republic and Vienna in Austria which were very interesting cities.  Wow moments included the lunch on the lake near Salzburg and the visit to the Eagles Nest in Austria.

Chris, 2019

Highlights were definitely Prague, Karlovy Vary and Vienna. Seeing the Alps up close was stunning – especially as they still had snow on the tops. The Albatross course was great, as was Gut Altentann.

Jenny, 2019 

Golf courses were particularly challenging but most were scenic and certainly worthy of the experience. The city of Prague was a great experience as was Vienna.

Phil, 2019

Lovely courses, the course in Kitzbühel was amazing. Eagles Nest, Prague, and Marianske Lazne were amazing. Our tour hosts did a great job, the local guides were good and our bus driver was the best we’ve had.
