Avalon is truly a cut above. The accommodations, staff, food, tours - everything was first class. This is our second river cruise with Avalon and certainly will not be our last. The conversion to the Monograms land portion was seamless as well; transfer to the trains and then to our ultimate hotels was handled very well. The only criticism i would have is that the assigned hotel in London - Park Plaza County Hall - was advertised as 4 star, first class. Not quite. The hotel is quite old and while kept up, it is not a 4 star hotel. There was an upgrade to the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge right across the street which we were not made aware of and don't know if we would have taken advantage of it not having the experience of the County Hall property. In my humble opinion, Monograms should upgrade all travelers to the Westminster facility even if they had to charge a little more.
Tis was our first river cruise so we had no expectations regarding the cabin. It turned out to be quite comfortable, well maintained by the staff and an overall good experience. We believe the price of the trip was fair but again we have no real basis of comparison.
Soazig at Affordable Tours is amazing to work with. She is friendly and personable to work with. I always feel she is looking out for our best interest. She returns emails and phone calls almost immediately. Because of her I have recommended Affordable Tours and Soazig to many other friends.
Great trip. Tour Directors were outstanding.
