Oh Europe, you sure know how to put on a music festival! & our latest favourite is Budapest's island take over of Sziget - Island of Freedom. Music, art, performances and forest vibes will have you swooning. To really light up the experience we get the party started in Berlin a few days early, making stops to explore Prague & Vienna before making tracks for Hungary.
This is a wonderful itinerary for the price. We were able to see many points of interest in a short period of time and many of the add-on activities were excellent. I particularly liked the private Danube cruise in Budapest and the folklore night in Prague.

It was one of the best trips that I ever had. It was a great experience from Paris all the way to Bruges (I did not go back to Paris). I saw 11 countries in 26 days, and it was surreal. I met some of the best people on this trip and now they are my lifelong friends. I had 2 excellent CEOs. I saw and experienced so many European countries in terms of their cultures, food and landscapes. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. It was well worth the money and the time. I thoroughly enjoyed it in every way!
I enjoyed the variety of places we visited. I especially liked having a local guide at each location to learn about the history and culture of each place. The only regret for me was that we couldn’t spend more time in Lake Bled. I liked that we were able to take the boats over to the island, but I would have also enjoyed seeing a view of the lake from a higher vantage point to be able to see the entire lake with the island in the middle. Otherwise, I was fully pleased with the itinerary of the tour.
