This trip was incredible. Iceland was a dream destination and this trip allowed me to see as much of the country in a week as possible. Each day was something so unique and peaceful.
Callan D. | Traveled in December
What a great itinerary! Krakow, Budapest, Salzburg, Ljubljana, Venice and Rome were incredible destinations to visit and stay. I joined in Poland and fell in love with the country as soon as I landed there. The Christmas markets and mulled wine were really great. Budapest was unbelievably good. The ruins bar and Sparty were two highlights of my trip. The rest of the itinerary was amazing and I really enjoyed Ljubljana. I had no expectations whatsoever and it was incredible. Our trip manager and driver were great value and ensured the trip ran smoothly. Definitely met really great people and will have new mates for life.
