Tour Overview

Experience the best Europe has to offer, beginning with Vienna sightseeing and a serving of Polish charm in breathtaking Kraków. Fall in love with the fairy tale town of Ceský Krumlov before an exciting Insight Choice in the Czech capital—touring the thousand-year-old castle courtyards or joining a Local Expert for a walk through the Jewish quarter. Both will end by wowing you in the Old Town square with the fortune-telling astronomical clock. Journey through Slovakia and across the Tatra Mountains to Budapest. Explore the Old Town of Buda, separated from Pest by the Danube River, and admire the spectacular views from the Fisherman’s Bastion before feasting on the finest local delicacies paired with select Hungarian wines.

The number is our group was small which meant we got to know each other. Our tour guide, Laura Spiers, was excellent as was our driver. The food was good, and of course everything we saw in Iceland was beautiful and educational.
