The booking process was straightforward with multiple payment options and clear documentation. Day 1 – Departure: The initial transfer on a luxury coach was wonderful, featuring comfortable seating, festive decorations, entertainment, snacks, and friendly drivers. However, the wait for the tour coach at Service 24 was frustrating; it took an hour and the subcontracted drivers were unhelpful. Trip Experience: Communication from the drivers was lacking, with minimal guidance provided, forcing passengers to ask repeatedly for updates. Day 1 – Liège: The seven-hour stop felt excessive, leading many passengers, particularly older ones, to spend their time in cafés. My partner and I ended up planning our own activities due to the inadequate guidance. Day 2 – Valkenburg: While the cave tours were enjoyable, we experienced long waits to return to the coach. Day 3 – Aachen: The market visit felt hurried because of a late departure. Coach Comfort and Atmosphere: Many seats were broken or reclined, causing discomfort and affecting the overall experience. The legroom was tight, and the heating was excessive, with no air conditioning; adjustments had to be requested. There were no Christmas decorations, leaving passengers to create their own festive atmosphere. Return Journey: The return coach was from a different company, but the drivers were professional and friendly. However, we faced delays due to absent minivans, which resulted in waiting in the rain (partly our oversight). In comparison to previous trips, this one lacked engaging drivers, snacks/drinks, and additional stops like a chocolate factory in Aachen. Overall Impression: While the booking and initial coach experience were excellent, the main tour coaches and drivers fell short. Long waits, uncomfortable seating, inconsistent scheduling, and a lack of festive elements diminished the trip. It did not meet the expectations set by previous experiences, leading to the conclusion that this may be our first and last holiday with this service.
