This is a fast pace tour so we've seen many points of interests in 11 counties in 14 days. It was well organized and learned some of the countries history, which was very nice. Pascal is such a caring person and excellent driver. He always have that beautiful smile and warm hello whenever he sees you even though he worked for many long hours. Would give him 7 stars out of 5. He goes above and beyond expectations. What an asset forExpat! Matt is very well versed in European history and it is great learning from him. He also kept us well informed so that the tour runs smoothly, which we appreciate very much. Though a couple of the hotels are not up to par, it won't prevent us from touring through Expat in the future. Overall, it was a great experience for us .

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.
was an excellent tour manager and he had a great sense of humor. The driver was amazing as he maneuver the coach in tight spaces. We had the right balance of “on the move” and free time. The cities we visited were unbelievably magnificent. It was the week before Easter. I enjoyed the Easter markets and got the Krtek I was looking for. The local guides were well chosen and augmented the history I had researched before going. Great trip. Would travel with again.
If I had enough money and if work would give me more days of leave then I would 100% do another tour if I could. Our CEO Cate made it the best experience possible by providing a structured itinerary while ensuring we have time to do our own adventuring here and there. The experiences I had on this trip were something I will probably never forget.
This tour was so much fun. Learnt a lot, met a lot of new friends, and had a ton of fun. Would highly recommend this tour, and to travel through Europe in general.
This tour was more fast paced than I anticipated. The free time to explore, with someone else doing all the planning and logistics made it so you could turn your brain off, enjoy the sights, the people, the food and beer. There's been more than once I was hung over and only existing, yet still able to travel from point a to be b, see some cool stuff and places. One thing I didn't expect to enjoy so much was the group dynamics. It's like instantly making a bunch of life long friends that come from different places, have different experiences, seeing new things. Honestly the peoplein the group was as good as the trip itself. Would do something like this again.
I enjoyed spending time with the people in my group, I think there was a good range of ages and different interests, which was great. We had a lot of great experiences together that I wouldn't have had while travelling alone! Overall it was a great experience, I would love to book another trip next year!
I had the most amazing experience and time of my life on this tour. Choosing G Adventures and the 'Gotta-See Europe: Germany, Austria and Italy' tour was one of the best decisions of my life. Our tour CEO Filip was incredibly enthusiastic and responsible, and he created the most fun and positive environment. The whole tour was incredibly well organised and I always felt safe, happy and relaxed knowing that someone else was taking care of the tour group. I was very fortunate to have such amazing people on my tour. We were able to bond so quickly as we all shared our love and enthusiasm for travel and these specific places. Every place we went to was so beautiful, rich of history and culture and truly unique. The included activities were so much and full of variety as we relaxed in lakes, went on bike rides, visited museums and much more. This tour was the perfect blend of free time and included activities. Through this I was able to not only have an extremely joyful and relaxing vacation but it also enabled me to achieve so many things including improving my skills for travelling without feeling the stress of having to figure this out alone in a foreign continent and on the other side of the world. I definitely recommend this tour, especially to young, solo and inexperienced travelers but really to anyone who has a passion for travel and who is open to meeting new people and trying new experiences.
This a was a great experience that enables independence with support from tour guides. You got a good mix of doing your own things and also being guided. Although tiring it is something that is worth it for the adventure and experiences.
