This tour has exceeded my expectations. It gave me the opportunity to visit and explore and experience the countries and cities I have never been before. The use of WhatsApp made communications timely and efficiently. Shoutout to our driver for providing safe travel.
Highlights of Bohemia has been my dream trip since 2019 (as my initial booking was cancelled more than once during 2020-2021 due to the pandemic and related social issues) and I'm so happy I was finally able to experience it. The trip was thoughtfully and wonderfully planned out. The coach travel was well-timed (with plenty of stops and even a couple of movies during the longer stretches). Having two nights for each hotel stay allowed the right balance of rest and travel. The itinerary was well-balanced between structured/ guided and free/ personal time and neither ever felt like too much or too little of either. The Tour Director was amazing in every way; extremely good at balancing and accomadating group and individual needs and, along with the Local Specialists provided global and local historical and social perspectives, as well as helpful suggestions for the best use of our free time. The drivers were safe and very helpful, and the coach was always clean and comfortable. Hotels were mostly centrally located, also allowing a better personal experience for those like me who enjoy wandering and enjoying local venues and persons.
The tour was excellent. Sonny was an incredible driver, prompt, friendly and kind. Our tour guide, Callum 'Blinky' Pyper, was full of historical and local knowledge, friendly, patient and kind. Both took very good care of us. We enjoyed all the excursions as they allowed for a bit more interaction with the local cultures.
This tour offers you the opportunity to visit three main capitals of Europe: Amsterdam, Berlin and Prague. In Amsterdam, you will be guided for a sightseeing tour to walk along the canals and visit many reputable museums. Then, make your way towards Volendam and Marken, known for the colorful wooden houses and its old fishing boats in the harbor. Later cross the border to Germany and have a stop in Hamelin, a river town made famous for the tale of Pied Piper. Your journey continues into Berlin, a multicultural metropolis where the atmosphere feels like an international village. Memorials throughout the city are a solemn reminder and lesson about the difficult times in our world’s history. Enjoy the many distinguished and celebrated art museums in Dresden along with its classic architecture of its reconstructed old town, rebuilt after World War II. Finally, you will arrive in Prague, the capital of Czech Republic, and you will have the opportunity to admire landmarks of this vibrant city such as Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, St Vitus Cathedral and more.
Bring long bus days and not able to use the toilets on the buses whilst travelling with children was very inconvenient. Having stops of only 20 mins at the Berlin Wall then going on to have hours in places of nil importance was disappointing. Overall it was s good trip.
I feel that G Adventures exceeded my expectations. I figured the hotels and transport would be taken care of, but I was surprised at everyone's knowledge and eagerness was truly amazing and I would recommend this company and this Journey to other people. I felt I learned a lot, experienced a lot, and saw a lot in a fairly short amount of time.
