Best of Central Europe

This tour had everything I was looking for! Great Eastern European food, great local beer, and a variety of things to do for any type of interest. The hikes were fantastic, and the transportation between stops was well organized. This tour offers a good balance of free time and time with the group, which allows you to come together at the end of the day over dinner to discuss your day.

Imperial Capitals ( 6 days )

Perfect information good htels

Budapest to Sofia Adventure

Really enjoyed the itinerary and the program. Lots of free time. Advance notice would have provided opportunity to book other tours, plan to do more in the cities. Transport was mostly public bus, train and local taxi which was problematic for some on the tour carrying bags up and down flights of stairs. The taxi drivers were not so helpful and their vehicles had limited space to put our luggage. Perhaps an arrangement with the taxi company ahead of time to ask that drivers to come with empty boots and willing to assist in putting the luggage in would be appreciated.

Budapest to Istanbul

Great leader, interesting destinations. Would have never seen many of these places on my own.

Coach / Bus

Budapest to Bucharest

Enjoyable leusurely paced trip exposing us to both country and city aspects of Romanian life and history

Highlights of Eastern Europe (Classic, End Vienna, 14 Days)

Wonderful trip with an excellent tour leader Petra and great coach driver Joe. We had so many tours and wonderful dinners with our. We seen so many great sites and have lifetime memories.

The Best of Eastern Europe

This was a great tour made wonderful by our tour guide Zdenka. She knew these countries so well, she wanted us to see everything possible and she made it happen! Our bus driver, Gaspy, kept us safe and on time. Would recommend this tour, you learn so much and the countries visited were so beautiful and welcoming. This is the first time that Globus gave us a couple small, quirky new hotels that were not comfortable. Please Globus stick to regular hotels that have great staff. if the hotels are far from city center please give us transportation there and back on our afternoons off whenever possible.

Eastern Road (End Warsaw, 13 Days)

€100 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

Sightseeing

Prague Vienna and Budapest (10 Days)

Prague to Budapest Ride

Well organized, excellent group leaders. Some confusion communicating between Tour Radar and Exodus Travels but was straightened out.

The Bohemian (Classic, End Budapest, 9 Days)

Treasures of the Balkans & Transylvania

Excellent everything was by the boom

15 Days trips in Romania, Moldavia, Bulgaria

Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us too many wonderful sights, some of which would be hard to find on our own. He was very responsive to our needs as older travelers and exceedingly helpful when my wife was injured and required emergency medical help in Romania and also Moldova. My wife felt that he treated her as if he was helping his own mother - so we give him (Nicolas Miriou and his associates) the highest possible recommendation!!!

From Sofia to Belgrade

Nadia was an excellent guide very knowledgeable and always very calm to handle any situation.

Walking Adventure

Best of Poland (11 Days)

Everything was outstanding. Coach, Kate (tour guide), all other guides (except one), hotels, meals, itineraries, driver, sights, tours. Two issues. Our Auschwitz tour guide had a very, very pronounced accent and spoke very quickly making it difficult to understand him. Extremely knowledgeable but needs to slow down his speech. Loved that every tour guide throughout the country was a "local". The other issue was that the optional tours available were charged in Euros and not Polish money. Other than those "minor issues" the tour was truly outstanding, interesting, educational and fun!

What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Eastern Europe

To be honest, part of what made the trip fantastic was our group of 12- could not have had a better group to travel with- which is clearly luck, but a piece of our group being so cohesive was Nejca, our guide. She was perfect! Available but not pushy. Laid back, but willing to assert herself to make our experience the best. She made each person in the group feel special and appreciated. Thank you, Nejca! The itinerary was quite good as well. Although there were places I could have stayed for a day longer, I think it’s important to not stay too long and feel like time is wasted on a certain place on the tour. Transportation was efficient and Nejca did a great job getting us to our destinations easily and without rushing. Accommodations were very good- with the exception of Prague. Although our apartment was nice, it was clear that the residents of Prague feel that their space is being taken over by tourists- which is clearly true. I would have preferred to have stayed in a hotel in Prague-honestly, I would have paid more for it. Other than that, cannot day enough good things about the trip! Thank you!!

Wonderful cities, well-organised, and great value. Shout out to our guide, Jacob, who was as informative and professional as you'd expect, but also adaptable when things out of his control were going wrong (traffic, weather, etc.) And the driver, Nathan, who was always helpful and reliable - almost like a second tour guide.

A great tour that lived up to expectations and covered a lot of ground in a short space of time.

Eastern Europe — Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Encompassing a huge swath of the continent, from the Baltic states in the north to beaches of the Black Sea in the south, holidays to Eastern Europe are as diverse as they are spectacular. From the Transylvanian castles of Romania to Mostar’s famed medieval bridge, a trip to Eastern Europe offers a wealth of attractions.

Tour Highlights

Wonder at the magnificent ancient architecture of Krakow , Poland ’s former royal capital, including the soaring heights of St Mary’s Basilica, the simply stunning sixteenth-century Cloth Hall, and Wawel Castle, one of Poland’s largest.
Hike across Slovakia ’s High Tatras Mountains, through unspoiled landscapes of crystal-clear mountain lakes, alpine pasture, and 2,500 m peaks in summer, or ski the same slopes in winter.
Take a tour of the impressive gothic grandeur of Budapest’s Parliament building, taking in the most lavish of its 691 Danube-side rooms, and gaze upon the crown of Saint Stephen, the first king of Hungary.
Relax on the surprisingly-fine palm-lined Black Sea beach resorts of Bulgaria , or soak up the sun on the untamed sands of the Istrian coast of Croatia before heading out on an Adriatic cruise.
Stroll through the grand halls and secret passages of Bran Castle in Romania’s Transylvania region, best known to the world as Dracula’s Castle, a fairy-tale hill-top fortress offering amazing panoramic views across the Carpathian Mountains.
Head to Riga , the capital of Latvia and delve beneath its reserved exterior to discover a friendly and vibrant city full of art nouveau buildings, modern gallery spaces, and ever-growing food culture.

Travel Tips

Although Eastern Europe is home to a huge number of languages, English is widely-spoken, particularly by the younger generations who were brought up after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Much of Eastern Europe remains a cash society, so make sure you carry plenty of banknotes with you. Try and avoid receiving larger notes, for example when changing money from your home currency, as they can be difficult to break.
ATMs can now be readily found throughout the region, taking away much of the stress of carrying large quantities of money with you. If you do decide to make use of them, avoid the option of converting the price into your home currency as this can add a huge amount to your bill.
Much of Eastern Europe is conservative and deeply religious. Avoid inadvertently offending residents by being careful of what you are wearing, especially if you are intending to enter a church or mosque.
Don’t be afraid to haggle! Though museums and most stores will have set prices, there’s plenty of opportunities to have a little fun haggling with taxi drivers and market stall holders, though do understand these guys need to make a living too.
