Fast paced but we love that we get to see so much. Wouldn’t have been able to see a quarter of what we saw trying to coordinate a trip like this ourselves. We are already planning our third tour to book.
If you can, take an extra day at each end of the trip. Everyone in my group loved both Prague and Budapest! Could’ve spent a week in each city on this trip, but we saw the highlights and had a variety of experiences that made it definitely worthwhile.
TD and driver were so much fun and made our trip even better.
G adventures was amazing, not just a party tour - you really get to experience the places you go to. Tour guide was great and it was as stress free as travel can be!
