Syros, Mykonos, Tinos & Athens Tour - 9 Days - Premium

arrangements worked. Accommodation was excellent

Syros, Mykonos, Tinos & Athens Tour - 9 Days - Standard

Amazing trip, very well organized and such a relief to have someone waiting for you at the airports and ferry ports to take you to the hotels. First hotel in athens was in city centre and felt a bit unsafe when walking around. Felt a bit rushed in mykonos but still enough time to see the basics. Overall was an amazing holiday

Bike tour, Languedoc, France (guided groups)

Exceeding my expectations in every way. My first but not my last bike trip. Mike and Lydia could not have been more accommodating or caring. The best!

European Capitals (5) Escape - 11 Days

We were not able to complete our travel due to the world situation with Covid19. We felt, however, that we needed to share our positive experience with DOT travel. From the booking process, helping to make arrangements to suit our family, and adapting the itinerary to accommodate our travel needs, DOT was nothing short of extraordinary with their customer service. Additionally, when we had to make the sad decision to cancel our trip due to the world events, DOT was understanding and accommodating and refunded us promptly with no cancellation fees. We will complete this trip when the world opens up again, and rest assured we will be booking with DOT travel eu.

Authentic Greek Islands

It was an amazing trip!! Everything was excellent, thanks for everything!!

Magical Fjord Adventure

The tour was great. The connections of the transportation (ferries, trains) were very smooth. The hotels are very close to the train station or ferry terminals. The hotel in Balestrand is beautiful at the waterfront, the dinner buffet is excellent.

• Train & Rail

Italy By Train

One caveat: This tour was everything we wanted which was flexibility! The company had everything lined up and ready to go. Hotels selected worked out well and were tidy and clean. They were what we expected and in safe locations. As everything was going so smoothly we put our trust into the company. At one point we did need to call them as the trains were to go onto a strike the next day! But Tourradar stepped in, made sure that our rides were not affected and we were provided new tickets early that morning! We became so trusting of Tourradar that when we saw at the close of our trip that the time entourage to the airport was extremely limited, we believed this was due in case to the close proximity the hotel location they had selected for us in Rome was a short drive. Unfortunately that morning when the driver they had engaged to pick us up was 1/2 hour late, we were horrified to realize that Tourradar had only allots us two hours to drive 45 minutes to the airport, get through customs, get through security, check our bags and get on our flight! When we complained to the driver that he was late,he disagreeably grunted that we had plenty of time and then proceeded to drive at a very unsafe speed. He had driven the 45 minutenylroitn

ESSENCE OF EUROPE

Thank you everyone at interrailingpackages. you organized the trip of a lifetime for us

ULTIMATE BUCKET LIST

Fantastic itinerary, hassle free booking with easy alterations. Expectations exceeded.

Fall/Spring Swiss Alps Drive in a Porsche: Pre-set sat-nav guided

Where to begin?! When I discovered EpikDrives, I knew this would be the perfect surprise trip for my husband. Initially the packages and trip seemed “to good to be true” but Stephan was quick to respond to my 1,000 questions. We didn’t find many reviews which made me nervous but booked regardless and ARE WE GLAD WE DID! This turned out to be one of the best trips we have ever taken. Planning of the trip and booking was seamless. Stephan was so helpful and prompt with responses throughout the entire process from start to finish. Once we arrived in Switzerland, Stephan was waiting at the hotel with our supercar on arrival. We were impressed with the ease of everything! We would get into the car each morning and essentially hit “go” on the GPS. Easy GPS guidance to follow along with designated stops for sightseeing, coffee if needed, and re-fueling. We also enjoyed the binder that accompanied with printed out information of the itinerary for each day and description of the different sites or mountain passes. I would certainly give EpikDrives and Stephan a 10+ if I could and we will definitely be taking another trip with them in the near future. Thank you, Stephan, for such an incredible experience!

The Best Of Italy By Train

Best of Eastern Europe- Prague, Vienna and Budapest

Wiseyatra provided us with a Travel Advisor who I could talk to and discuss itinerary changes. We were able to talk to the travel advisor before my trip and Wiseyatra adjusted my itinerary in each city to accommodate our needs. Although we discussed 3-star hotels pre-trip, Wiseyatra was able to provide 4-star accommodations to us. Wiseyatra Prague-Vienna-Budapest tour gave us the solid structure we could depend on with airport pickup, hotel reservations, inter-city (Prague - Vienna, Vienna – Budapest) train tickets and basic tours. They also prepared a detailed itinerary with suggested places to visit. I was in touch with Wiseyatra throughout our tour. They patiently answered all our questions. The trip went without a hitch. We enjoyed our trip thoroughly.

• Hiking & Trekking

Julian Alps Traverse - Trekking In Slovenia

This walking trip through the Julian Alps was even better than expected. Accommodation and food were from good to superb in the various huts. Sleeping arrangements as can be expected from dorms in mountain huts, some snoring and noisy breathing. The scenery was stunning and we were very lucky with the weather. Responsive and helpful staff. Thoroughly recommendable trip.

Best of Western Europe in a week- Paris, Brugge and Amsterdam

Just returned from a wonderful week in Paris, Brugge, and Amsterdam. We couldn’t be more pleased with our tour company Wise Yatra. Whether it was the communication prior to booking, the pre-travel Google Meet to answer last minute questions or provide trip advice, or their imorespinses to questions that popped up while we were in Europe. It was like have our own personal travel concierge. Thank you so much to the Wise Yatra staff for helping us have a wonderful European holiday.

General information for your driving tour:

We would like to give you some useful hints and information how you can create your best driving tour with our special know how.

1. First of all plan not too much! This is the biggest mistake which you can do. You should know that you'll find in whole Europe many scenic roads through the countryside. Many roads have a special background and offers unique experiences as well as a marvelous countryside. When you take such a drive you can only calculate appr. 40 to 50km per hour driving time. We always prepare a tour itinerary for you upfront with all expected driving times and mileage info:

For example if you choose the drive via the "Romantik Road" from Rothenburg to Fuessen, its appr. 250km or 160miles but you need at least 5 hours driving time without any stops.

Another example is the drive from Grenoble to Nice via the "Route Napoleon" which is 350km or 220miles only but you need at least 7 hours driving time.

You see - less is much more for your best European tours!

Travel Europe With Your Individual Freedom

We would like to offer you the unique opportunity to travel throughout Europe as a tourist, but taking advantage of the experiences of those who live here.

In comparison to a guided bus tour, a self-drive tour offers you the opportunity to visit the sites and attractions that interest you most and to decide for yourself how much time you would like to invest there. In our information packet we make more suggestions on what to see and do than you could possibly realize in the time you have available.

This is done intentionally to give you the choice without wasting precious time searching for the things that interest you. You can be sure that your accommodations for each night have been arranged in advance and that they will be up to the high standards you expect. During your entire tour, we are only a phone call away to help you with your travel plans or in case of an emergency.
