Bulgaria and Germany Tours and Trips

Awesome trip! It really gives a nice overview of much of the country. We saw so many gorgeous sights. The mix of included and optional activities was great, it gave us the ability to be as busy as we wanted, but also allowed for downtime if we so chose. Most of the activities are in classic tourist areas - very crowded. We also had some activities off the beaten path, which was lovely. Be prepared with good walking shoes, we averaged about 6km per day, and lots of it is over ancient cobblestone and stairs. Our Travel Director was wonderful and all the local tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This was our first European trip and we loved it.

Our itinerary has been wonderful! A big compliment to our great tour guide, Lisa . She has been a great leader. Very knowledgeable and have excellent people skills and good time management.

The itinerary was good but I found it confusing at times because what was in the printed document was not actually the same as what occurred. For example, the first night in Berlin there were two options in the printed material but in fact there was only one. Not sure if the travel director knew of this but it was not very clear when we started the tour

Our tour manager, Monica, was exceptional. She was always available to help with any issues or questions. Very knowledgeable about the region. Meals were always excellent, including breakfasts. Local ethnic food was always served at the meals. Our favorites were the ethnic folk dinners in Vienna and Krakow. Don’t miss the World Market in Budapest! So much fun. If you can’t find it there, it doesn’t exist in Hungary!

It is packed with lots of things to see. I learned a lot about the areas we visited. There is a lot of walking so people must be prepared for that and not always on smooth flat areas. It can hold up the group if people can't keep up.

Overall very good. Would recommend more time in Rome. Most meals were good. Travel Director Patrizia was excellent both as a guide and problem solver. Most local guides were good to very good, although a couple were a bit hard to understand. Overall a very experience!
