They did a wonderful job of organizing and supporting our bicycle adventure from Vienna to Budapest. The hotels were wonderful and the breakfast's amazing. Having not only GPS directions, but accompanying written directions and maps made our tour a breeze. Communication before and during the trip was excellent.

This cruise takes you to some of the most famous and delightful holiday markets in Central Europe. At each market, you’ll find wooden stalls displaying traditional crafts that range from quirky little characters made of fruit and dressed in Bavarian costume to beautifully carved and painted Nativity figures. You’ll also find exquisite ornaments and fine contemporary crafts, along with fairytale villages decked in holiday finery.
Sparkling lights illuminate ancient cathedral squares and the sound of children’s laughter mingles with carols. Enjoy Uniworld’s exclusive “Taste of Christmas” program in Vienna, where you’ll see astonishing confectionary decorations in Café Demel’s windows. Celebrate the season in a new way as you meander through old lands, and remember, as the Christkind says, “While this market’s splendor is fleeting, the joy it brings is eternal.”
Please note that most Christmas Markets in Europe end their season on the 23rd of December and will not be available after that date.

Budapest has celebrated Christmas for a thousand years, since the reign of St. Stephen, the king who founded Hungary and encouraged the spread of Christianity throughout his realm. As you ramble through the Christmas Market on Vörösmarty Square, admiring the handmade porcelain, stop to watch as kürtos kalács (a pastry) is baked on rods over an open fire and then coated with sugar before it’s handed to you.
In Bratislava, where a lively young art scene is revitalizing the compact city core, stalls abound with traditional Slovakian Christmas items such as medovníky (spiced ginger cookies) and šúpolie (figurines made from corn husks). Experience Uniworld’s exclusive “Taste of Christmas” program in the heart of Vienna during the day.
Glorious baroque architecture, delightful concerts and ravishing scenery will make this Christmas season unforgettable as you sail through the holidays on the Danube.

1st time doing a group tour with expat explore and it didn't disappoint. Our tour guide Justin was really good and was very knowledgeable of Prague, Vienna, Slovakia and Budapest. Prague is just an amazing place to visit, I recommend all the optional excursions with the exception of the folklore show. Vienna is a great place, the food is incredible. Bratislava proved to be a charming day tour so don't skip it! Budapest exceeded all expectations and the overall vibe / style reminded me of NYC (in the mid 90's) and very safe. Whatever you do it seems that the heart of the nighlife is right in the Jewish quarter so don't pass on it.

We discover some of the region’s most iconic heritage sites, wine & dine at local eateries, and spend our nights at cozy hotels.
Meeting in Vienna, the adventure begins with a ride south through the Danube Floodplain National Park to reach the small, bustling Slovakian capital of Bratislava.

We also explore charming Hungarian cities such as Győr, known for its enchanting baroque town square, and Esztergom, home to the country's grandest Catholic basilica. On our final cycling day we ride the Danube’s "Great Bend” to reach Budapest where we end our tour amongst the city’s glittering landmarks.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Italy and Austria, where I explored historic cities, admired breathtaking landscapes, and experienced the rich culture and cuisine of both countries.
The tour guides were fantastic, providing insightful information and making the experience truly memorable with Javier Esteban and Raid.
I am writing to express my disappointment with the recent trip that omitted the visit to Innsbruck due to traffic issues and also the tour in salzburg was short it was about 30 mins due to the traffic jam. I recommend improved communication and alternative itineraries for such situations. Additionally, I suggest providing irons and ironing boards in hotel rooms for a better traveler experience.
