Every place we visited on this itinerary had a different vibe- The pace of the trip was moderate for the amount of area covered. I loved the amount of time we spent at each city. Just enough to see the highlights and let you figure out if you'd want to spend more. a bit of something for everyone.Our tour director Dean smart was incredibly Knowledgeable, personable, kind, funny and professional! I couldn't have asked for a better person to lead this trip. Our transport specialist DuŞon was his perfect counterpart to get us where we needed to be safely and securely and also so kind and professional.

The itinerary was so intensive! Two countries need more nights staying ( like Austria and Hungry) Vienna, Salzburg and Budapest!!
And need times to be by yourself!!!

Hotels were fine for sleeping but location of all were not close to city centre. Be prepared to take local transit to get to city centre and you’ll be fine.
Itinerary was a good mix of optional tours and sight seeing tours provided by Costsaver. You have the option for these tours and it’s not mandatory so you can plan to do your own thing, so I liked the flexibility around optional tours.
Coach was spotless and very comfortable. Great drivers, tour guide and all local guides too.
