Eastern Europe Coach / Bus Tour Reviews
- Bohemian Highlights (End Berlin)
The drivers were great, Bill our director was fantastic. Local experts gave their all and the little extras were a welcome treat. This was our first European vacation but not our last. Trafalgar will be our first choice.
- 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.
- 4 Days Transylvania Tour from Budapest to Bucharest
Trip fantastic. Paul always punctual and whilst driving gave us lots of info about what we were seeing as well as history of the country. He gave us just enough free time and always made sure we had info about where we would get good food. He was very caring and went out of his way to make sure we were safe and secure. Thank you Paul
