Central & Western Europe: Main Cities & More

It was good. The places we saw and the friends we made. I really enjoyed the Pasta Class we had in Italy. So much play and not much pause. It was literally go go go but don't let that stop you. I was on the older end of the age group and found it hard to keep up with the group of about 13 of us. I really enjoyed the karaoke place we went to and learning about each Country. The food was epic and my favourite location was The Austrian Alps. I felt a bit more relaxed and at home there, with scenic views of the Alps and clouds and it all seemed more laid back. Worth going to and the place we stayed it was totally worth it. Shoutout to Hotel Tiroler ADLER - bed and breakfast in Waidring.

Awesome trip! Had so much fun with our tour guide being so knowlegable and the whole group felt like a family.

AMAZING!! so much fun. Very busy the whole time but awesome experience.

Top notch

Fun, fast, and social exactly as it was intended. Experience can vary based on your guide, driver, and group you travel with. I had a pretty solid group all around. It is extremely fast paced so might help to plan out your top must see/visit spot for each country as you only have a limited time in each one. If I did this trip again, I’d recommend foregoing all the Topdeck food experiences (fondue, dinner in Vienna, etc. - every single one was a let down, expensive and everyone that partook felt it was a colossal waste of time and money) and skip the Vienna concert. The other experiences like Moulin Rouge and everything in Switzerland was great. You will be better off going with the driver’s and your guide’s recommendations or finding your own for a better and most likely less expensive dining experience. Pro tip, look for restaurants that are busy and filled with locals - usually have the best food. Pack cold meds and a lot of cough drops. If one person gets sick, pretty much everyone is gonna get sick at some point as it spreads fast sharing rooms and being in an enclosed spot like the bus. Pack a towel as some hostels don’t provide them and charge to use theirs. Some people snore so recommend ear plugs as well. There is a ton of walking so bring comfortable clothing and shoes. Travel adapter is a must. If you have the space for it, a small umbrella is a good idea too. Not a ton of snow (except Switzerland) but did get quite a bit of rain during my trip. Hope this helps.
