What people love about Europe Tours for Young Adults
- Rome to Berlin: Piazzas, Prague & the Past
Great diversity of countries and cities but WAY too fast paced. One night in Slovenia and Poland was ridiculous and with travel time some days we spent less than 15 hours in the city. The guide was a but inexperienced so we didn't have a good description of some of the cities. Great way to make friends and see cities! Would recommend going end of August or later as it was still very hot going through the cities!!
- Mamma Mia! - 13 Days/12 Nights
My trip with italy on a budget was awesome! They were very helpful with communication and had all accomodation, transport, optional tours, etc outlined in a package on my first day. The tour leaders are friendly and helpful and genuinely care about your experience on the tour. I would have liked to have spent more time with them. For my first time to Italy I think 13 day Mamma Mia was the perfect way to see as much as possible. I just wish I had more time! The accomodation in Florence was amazing and the views from the campground in Sorrento were stunning.
- Rome to London Quest (Standard, Summer ( Until Mar '27), Classic)
Awesome trip! Once in a life time
