Play & Pause: Central & Eastern Europe (Winter)

Had an absolutely amazing time! Since it was my first time in Europe, I used this trip to hit the highlights and figure out which countries I liked the most. Traveling in winter made it even better—snowy landscapes and Christmas markets were such a vibe. Trips like this really depend on the tour leader and group, and luckily, both were awesome! Charlotte was super knowledgeable, kind and caring and made the experience even better by teaching us about the history of each place, and Pete (the driver) kept everything running smoothl. The speed at which we got to see each destination and how well everything was planned wouldn’t have been possible without booking a tour like this. Definitely a trip to remember and was the most fun I have had when travelling.

Amazing trip, so pleased with the organised activities and how smooth it all ran!

This is the trip of a life time! If you enjoy the cold & snow and haven’t explored Europe this is the trip for you!! Our Trip Leader Charlotte and our Driver Peter were absolutely phenomenal!! Sure, there are some places I wish we could have stayed longer in, but you need to remember it’s a tour-you are guided through areas so next time you plan a holiday you know exactly where you will want to go and spend more time. Our tour group was a solid bunch of peeps so all of the optional activities with them made it so much more fun and exciting too! Charlotte was SO incredibly helpful with history information on each location we visited, any tips and tricks on extra places to visit, where to find laundromats, how to purchase tram/train tickets and more. It was just the right amount of time too to see a lot and then be ready to come home. I would recommend booking a minimum of 2 nights before the trip to explore London first and then a night or 2 after the tour to collect yourself before flying home. I can’t recommend this tour enough. All the Christmas markets stayed up right through to the end, which we weren’t expecting at all but was amazing. The Swiss Apls, Prague and Amsterdam took my breath away. Lubljana in Slovenia takes the prize for THE BEST Christmas lights throughout the streets. Was absolutely gobsmacked in awe of the detail. There are so bus rides that are long - they have to be right, you’re travelling across Europe. But the Peter, Charlotte and our new besties made it so fun! You get plenty of sleep, vibe to beats, upload your photos on socials and get pit stops for bathroom breaks and pick out plenty of souvenirs, different drinks and snacks you’ve never seen before and continue on your way! Honestly the best holiday and I’m so grateful <3 :) just book the holiday! We walked in not sure what we were doing - booked it unsure exactly what to expect and my goodness was it SO worth it!!!! :D

Absolutely loved my top deck trip. I got to see places I wouldn’t have thought to book on my own and my trip leader Jimmy was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I loved the optional extras - meaning we didn’t need to look for things to do in each place and got to know the group a little better - without the pressure to always be doing things with the group. All in all it was an amazing experience and one I would love to do again.

This trip was a trip of a lifetime. Although very fast paced we covered so much of Europe and learnt so much. Having amazing tour guide and coach driver to give us tips recommendations made the trip even more memorable. Whilst also having small groups allowed us to all become really close

Great people to travel around Europe with and saw so many amazing sites and ate awesome food.

Great trip, hit all the spots
