Central Europe Group Rail Tour (18-35)

I have just been on the Central Europe trip, which was my first time solo travelling and joining a group. I can honestly say that this trip has been one of the best experiences of my life. It has been incredible to see Europe with the new friends I made in my group, who were all so lovely. Our leader Tom has also been amazing, and his knowledge and positivity while leading us through different cities to see as much as we could really helped to make the experience even better. I will definitely be recommending Euroventure to my friends, and hopefully I will be able to sign up for another tour in the future.

European Romance

Whole of Europe Group Rail Tour (18-35)

Have recently returned from the Whole of Europe group tour and I can honestly say I can not recommend Euroventure highly enough! For anyone that is nervous about travelling alone or just wants the opportunity to travel with a group of likeminded people this is the perfect opportunity! Also having Euroventure sort out all accommodation and travel took a lot of the stress out of the trip for me! Our tour leader was Tom who was super friendly and always able to help if we had questions or simply recommend fun things to do in each city! Will definitely be looking to book with a Euroventure again!

Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre & Venice in 7 Days

I went on a tour with italyonabudget Overall, it was okay What made it okay as opposed to amazing is the miscommunication, some things described on the itinerary were misleading and the guide agreed that it should not be worded that way so you're going to have to do a lot of research on your own due to this miscommunication, also some rude staff in the office at florence The point of a tour company is to make things easier for you, not more difficult so go ahead with them if you want, but it'll be easier for you just to do it on your own, you'll save money

Italy By Train

Our tour included a 2 day rail pass for Cinque Terre for a party of four, but it turns out what we received was only good for one day. We found this out when our tickets were checked by an official from TrenItalia. As a result we were each fined 55 Euros, plus we were required to purchase a ticket back to La Spezia. I have contacted Wingbuddy, but their after sales service is abysmal. They appear to be seriously understaffed. They no longer answer the phone for existing reservations, and they don't accept voicemail messages. As a result you need to send them an email, and it typically takes several days to get a response. This incident happened on Sept. 19, and as of Oct. 1 it has not been resolved. To date, I have received one email that says this will require investigation. While the rest of the experience was good, the poor customer service makes me very hesitant to recommend them.

Train tours Italy: Venice, Florence, Rome, Sorrento by train

Our 10 day rail tour of Italy was fantastic. Everything went smoothly. Tour radar were excellent with communication, whenever I messaged they returned promptly, Payment went smoothly also. Our luggage was transported by vehicle and was at our hotel room when we arrived, so we didn’t have to bother with it on the trains. All the sites were fantastic, there was a lot of walking, I would suggest that the local guides that conduct the tours keep them to about 1 & half hours, not 3 like some. The tour company in Italy was Meet & Greet and they were just as efficient with questions etc. Our leader was Annamaria and she was great, funny and very helpful. I would recommend Tour Radar and Meet and Greet for your holidays, all was well organized.

What people love about Train & Rail Tours in Europe

Overal a great experience, the guides ensure you have an authentic experience and take care of the difficult parts of traveling. It's a long trip and designed for those wanting to see much of central Europe in a short amount of time. I have taken away many good memories with the people I travelled with, and have formed a deeper understanding of western art, history and culture. Highly recommend.

The highlight of our year so far! ? Me and my partner loved the Central Europe Tour ?(2 weeks), we would recommend it to ANYONE! And we would even suggest doing the Whole of Europe tour (4 weeks), as we could have easily carried on travelling with this company and the amazing people we met! ?The whole trip was thoroughly planned and so enjoyable! Such a stress free experience, especially for someone like myself who gets quite anxious when travelling - I would 100% do again!?? I met some incredible individuals, and the group planned activities were just what we needed to establish really strong bonds straight away! We have definitely made some lifelong friends and memories we will forever cherish! ??? The creation of the WhatsApp group chat with all our fellow travellers beforehand was so beneficial!? It broke the ice and put our minds at ease about the uncertainty of the upcoming trip ? And our guide Cristina ? - was brilliant, super friendly, helpful, considerate and extremely knowledgeable - educating us all. She was available 24/7, and we had the pleasure of spending our last day in Venice with her! ??? She deserves a lot of credit for making all our experiences amazing and unforgettable! Thank you Cristina ?? We look forward to our future bookings with Euroventure! ??

Day 7 “Golden Pass” Panorama train ride

In the morning take the Scenic-Panorama “Golden-Pass”-train ride from Lucerneto Interlaken.  Interlaken (Latin for “between the lakes”) is nestled between two lakes: Lake Thun and Lake Brienz . It also affords a view of the worlds famous Icy Icons: the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau . The Jungfrau – Top of Europe – can be reached by train. The tour does not include the tickets for the train journey up to the mountain since it will not be worth going up there if you have bad weather. Even in the summer time there can be days with snowfall and fog. However, if the weather is nice we recommend to go – this wonder-world of eternal snow and ice is absolutely stunning. Tickets can be bought right at the Interlaken West Station (where you arrived). Visit the Ice Palace and its sculptures or enjoy the breathtaking views from the Sphinx look-out terrace over the Aletsch Glacier , the longest ice stream in Europe, to the surrounding mountain peaks of the neighboring countries.

In less than one hour the Speed Rail will take you from Interlaken to Bern.  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote about Bern: “It is the most beautiful that we have ever seen”. Albert Einstein lived here from 1903 until 1905. Don´t miss to visit the Cathedral of Bern. It is Switzerland’s largest ecclesiastical building. Construction started in 1421, the spire was finally completed in 1893. At its portal you can see a depiction of the Last Judgment. Climb up Switzerland´s highest church to have a marvelous view cross the city and into the Bernese Mittelland and the snow-capped mountains of the Bernese Oberland. The Old Town ob Bern is very scenic and it has a unique medieval character. The historic center, almost completely surrounded by the Aare River, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site . Very unique are the numerous arcades you will find in Bern.

After a long day you may want to have something to eat at the Schwellenmätteli , a famous restaurant in Bern. Located on the banks of the River Aare you’ll feel like you’re on an island vacation.

Day 9 Frankfurt

It takes about four hours from Bern to Frankfurt Central Station.  Your hotel is located within a short walking distance of Frankfurt Central Station . Frankfurt is a very modern metropolis which nevertheless offers many historic sites such as the Romerberg  (hill of the Romans) with its beautifully restored timber-framed houses ,  the Goethe Haus where the world famous poet once lived; the Paulskirche , symbol for democracy and freedom in Germany; “ Alt-Sachsenhausen “, where in Schellgasse number 6 you will find Frankfurt’s oldest timber-framed house, built around 1291, to name only a few of Frankfurt’s historic landmarks.

The Frankfurt Museum Riverbank is one of the most important locations for museums in Germany and Europe. The exhibition buildings are lined up on both sides of the Main riverbank, several famous museums are to be found in the city centre. Visit the “ Stadel “, the German Museum of Architecture as well as the Museum of Applied Art or the “ Schirn Kunsthalle ” to name only a very few. Don’t miss out on Frankfurt’s “ Zeil “, a huge pedestrian zone where shopping is the name of the game. So, if you arrive early enough in Frankfurt, visiting this interesting metropolis is certainly worthwhile.

We just got back from our 10 day tour of Germany and Switzerland. We were so impressed As we are about land back in the U.S, we were so impressed with the trip you put together for us. Great cities. Nice, clean hotels conveniently located a short walk from the train stations. Train tickets already printed and ready to use so we didn’t have to fool with that, and printouts via your emails that listed the track number, our seat numbers, and departure and arrival times. Passes for use of the public transport system in a few of the cities. A good list of stuff to see and do on your website that we took with us. You guys were also very responsive over the last two years whenever I would email you with a question or concern. Just an all around wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

We just got back from a vacation in Europe and we had an amazing time,Especially memorable was the customized rail tour we arranged with to-europe.com. A dream I had was to one day experience the Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria and go up to the "Top of Europe" Jungfraujoch. I was not sure how to combine this idea in one vacation until I read on to-europe.com website that they had options for me to visit both areas, Our train tour was fantastic and I saw so much more that what I bargained for. Extra tours that were not planned for we also did a long the way and this added value to our tour. Every day after every train trip we did something new and each experience (tour) was unique and memorable. The trains are really efficient.. Many had WIFI in them to our amazement, The hotels were excellent and a short trip from the train stations. We met many people along the way.....but what was most memorable to me was that to-europe.com was able to customize my vacation experience in such a way that i got to make my "2 dreams" reality. The team that organised my trip was also very efficient. Every hotel, train and tour was booked accordingly with all documentation there when we got to our first hotel. All vouchers that were emailed to me were correct and even the post made it in a short period of time all the way to South Africa. I would like to thank Michaela, Thomas and Petra for all the organisation behind the scenes that led to a fantastic vacation. I would recommend booking tour through this company any day! Thank you guys!
