Eastern Europe 8-Day Tours and Trips

What a wonderful holiday! My dream of seeing Petra fulfilled and how! Plus many other great experiences along the way, such as floating in the Dead Sea, having a Dead Sea mud pack (great way to get to know your other group members on day 1!)

Nat Geo family expeditions give an awesome mix of exposure to the local culture, a variety of experiences that you would likely be too overwhelmed to put into an itinerary on your own, and high-quality accommodations and food. Good CEOs really set this apart, since they can absorb and correct the hiccups, leaving us to just enjoy the trip. Their local knowledge and translation service was above and beyond our expectations.

Mackinac Island and the Grand Hotel were the best!!! The property was beautiful and the people were the best; very helpful, friendly and polite . A place I have always wanted to visit. Eating breakfast and dinner there was a beautiful experience. The views from the Cupola Bar were beautiful. The tour of Chicago was so fun and Guide Dave was wonderful, knew so much, answered questions. Dinner at Harry Caray's was perfect; fun place, great people and glad I was there, a good distraction for me, to celebrate what would have been our 50th anniversary. The Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park were amazing; didn't know what to expect. The surprise drive across the Bridge was nice!!!! Loved the Dow house and grounds; I could have spent more time there; very interesting. In Bay City I enjoyed the river walk area and the band in the park right in front of our hotel. Henry Ford museum and Greenfield Village were amazing. I could have stayed there a lot longer; hard to take it all in. Dawn and Lonnie were the best; definitely made the trip wonderful. I learned so much about Michigan and was so glad to see these few parts of the State. Farewell dinner at Ford Garage; great way to top it off!!!

Highly recommend doing this tour! Its itinerary showcases some of Europe's awesome scenery from start to finish. Well worth doing-you will have many great photo opportunities throughout the tour. You will be left wanting to see more of the places you visit on tour

The Hike/Barge trip across Scotland was wonderful. The barge was very comfortable and the staff knowledgeable and friendly. We all interacted like family. The food was amazing and a real surprise. There was a choice of hikes most days depending on how challenged you wanted to be or if you wanted to take it easier. It was also very comfortable to just stay on the barge if you wanted a half day or full day off hiking. The hikes were beautiful.

A seven day walking trip starting/finishing in Dubrovnik, visiting Sutjeska National Park, Sarajevo, Neretva river canyon and Mostar. The trip encompassed a mix of strenuous and easy day walks, visiting a remote mountain village, and exploring and understanding the volatile history of the country. An overall highlight was discovering the beauty of the landscape - so many mountains, forests, lakes and rivers. Accommodation ranged from the basic, Socialist-era style hotel in Sutjeska National Park (though perfectly comfortable and adequate), to the small, comfortable and more modern hotels in Trebinje, Sarajevo and Mostar. Travel was in a 12 seater van, driven by the personable Gvard, from Sarajevo.
