A land of ancient cities, time-honoured culinary customs and ever-changing landscapes, Eastern Europe rewards those ready to explore. Picture pastel-hued Old Towns frozen in time and hearty local cuisine crafted with love and tradition. Add soaring mountains that graze the sky like fragments of giant crystals, and you’ll soon find yourself drawn to this beautifully diverse region. Ready to dive in?
A city filled with energy and culture – we’ll begin our Eastern European story in grand Budapest. You could spend a couple of days getting acquainted with this bustling city, before meeting our small group of fellow explorers for a welcome dinner at our hotel. So, how will your Budapest chapter take shape? Perhaps you’ll discover one of the city’s historic thermal baths and unwind in their famous, mineral-rich waters. (Don’t miss the Gellért Bath’s beautiful Art Nouveau architecture, or the sunny yellow Neo-Baroque facade of Széchenyi Thermal Bath). Then, a relaxing cruise along the mighty Danube River is the perfect way to soak in the city’s iconic sights – Parliament Building, Buda Castle, Széchenyi Chain Bridge, we’re looking at you! Or, for a slice of adventure, you could pack a picnic and hike up leafy Gellért Hill for panoramic views of the city below. As another option, why not weave your way to the buzzing Jewish Quarter for a dose of pálinka (fruit brandy) at a quirky, character-filled ‘ruin bar’? There are twisting mazes of neon-lit, graffiti-filled rooms just waiting to be explored here... Decisions, decisions!

Excellent tour with the wonderful, professional Miriium and our great driver Zac This is our third Backroads Tour and I can find no fault with all three of them.
It couldn't been better our tour guide kings was brilliant and would go out of her way to meet our every need no matter what time of time or convenience my only concern was the seats didn't have enough leg room for a road trip otherwise perfect
I found the tour very enjoyable. Our tour guide Monica was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to help us in all aspects of the tour. At the end of the tour Monica had created a video of highlights, which I found great to show friends. I would highly recommend Back Roads Touring.
Excellent introduction to central Europe with knowledgeable and capable guide. Well situated hotels with very good ammenities.
While some parts of the tour were amazing…. Cider and vinegar tasting! Other parts like the Luxury Coach…. Which was nice but too small left a little to be desired!
