The draw for this tour was an itinerary that covered most major highlights. Informative Guide-Crew & directions. We did take a few optional tours. The optional tours offered were good for seniors; however, for experienced travellers, they needed more to be covered. Felt that Krakow was good; however, 2 days were more than sufficient, but not at the cost of less than half a day in Vienna, just 2 hours in Salzburg, and just 1 hour in the beautiful Lake Bled area. Most Hotel stays were good. Local meals planned were good to try local cuisine.

This was my fourth tour with Expat Explore and my number one favorite. Eastern Europe held so much history! Beautiful architecture, amazing food, and kind people. The tour was fast paced with early mornings, late nights, and LOTS of walking, but it gave a glimpse of what each country had to offer in a condensed amount of time. Honestly though what made this tour stand out from the rest was the tour guide. I was lucky enough to get Kinga and she went above and beyond in her role to make sure each of us had the most amazing holiday!
