I went on the whole of Europe group tour for a month with Euroventure and I couldn't have been more happier! With Catherine as our tour guide we got to experience the beauty of Europe Safely and with no hassles. Catherine was always on hand to help with questions, offer suggestions and even sit down and chill. She was amazing as was the tour. They really thought of everything to make the trip unforgettable! Would definitely book again.

Had the best time with Euroventure on the group tour of the whole Europe. It was my first time travelling and the experience was 5 stars. They were very helpful and had good customer service that would responded to issues quickly. The tour itself was good value for money with what you get with regards to hostels and activities. Our tour guide Vera was helpful in giving us the best recommendations for places to visit and to dine out. Vera was such a joy and made experience wonderful for the whole group. Thanks to Euroventure for such a good travel experience.

Whole of Europe Group Tour

05-Aug-2022

The group tour of Europe for a month with euroventure was an amazing experience! Tour leader was great at making recommendations in each place we visited. The group of people were amazing and so friendly, it was great travelling with similar people (lots of solo travellers doing this sort of thing for the first time), the communication before the trip was great with friendly informative emails and quick replies. It was definitely worth travelling with euroventure as you didn't have to worry about what train station you needed to get to or what train to get next as you could just follow along with the group, so great for first time travelling/interrailing. It was also really good that there was a mixture of doing things with the group and doing things on your own, same with food you could either eat out on your own, or eat out with the group or arrange to cook in the hostels. The hostels were really nice, some even felt more like hotels, and breakfast was included in quite a few of them! It was also quite easy to make adjustments to the tour such as adding an extra night at the end of the tour and travelling back without the group and euroventure were great at sorting the tickets. I would definitely recommend euroventure as a company and would definitely recommend doing the month long tour of Europe! Beautiful places to see and fun activities to do in each one!

I initially booked with Euroventure before the pandemic back in 2019. I was unable to get a refund on my trip but their amazing customer service team worked with me at every step of the way to ensure that I would be able to take my dream travel trip at a later date! They took the stress out of planning and helped me avoid all of the stressful details and pitfalls I would have gotten caught hung up in. And thanks to the group tour style of the trip I booked I was able to meet an insanely amazing group of people I now consider my lifelong friends. I definitely recommend booking with Euroventure for anyone who has the time and money to spare!
