Holy crap Batman! Your folks will fill out more than half their bucket list on this trip. 
If you're comfortable with the price, I'd say go for it. Trafalgar is a top notch tour company with lots of experience in these kinds of tours. You didn't say what the ages of your parents are, but be aware that such a tour schedule demands they be fairly active.
I've taken similar tours with both Globus and Trafalgar (many years ago) and have to say I needed several weeks to decompress after getting back home. They keep you on the go.

they are in pretty good shape. and yeah, i think price is good for the money, with the escorted tours and hotels, etc... all they need to worry is about the food less trouble for me / my bro / my sis

Here is another link to look for a travel agent.
http://www.asta.org/travelagent.cfm?navItemNumber=671
My father and his wife were very big in the travel industry. She was President of ASTA for a long time. An travel agent is Definetly the route you want to go on this trip. Someone that knows where they are going and knows where to stay away form. good travel agents have done the trips themselves and know what is in store for your parents. One thing travel agents definetly help with above Expedia is when you have issues with missed flights or cancelled flights in the middle of your trip.
my ex-GF just went to china on a guided tour and she had a great time, but they didn't like the set places they "had" to eat at. they ended up breaking off from the group when it came to eating. The group she (she is chinese) used for China doesn't do anything for Europe otherwise I would give you their info.
