    · July 27th, 2024
    Fantastic adventure! I did this trip alone and it was wonderful, I recommended for anyone travelling alone or with friends/adult family! You will meet a lot of great people, eat wonderful food, se landscapes masterfully crafted through 1000 year's of history. My communication with team at Euroadventures have been great, fast response, easy to understand and a great aid to fall back to if any uncertainty arose. Multiple days on one location make it easy to take in all the new impression that I got, they give you a good amount for free time so I never felt stressed and they give you further recommendations for extra activities that you may want to do. I did a lot of food tasting trips on the evening and museum walking. I lived in hostel's and hade a great experience, you have to lower your expectations (not a hotel) and understand your living with others so it might be a bit noisy but I made new friends and got great memories that I wouldn't get from a hotel.

    Wanted to give it one star at first, but thankfully the tour worked out alright with lots of pre planning every night. Tour agent only informed that there would be NO tour guide 4 days before the actual trip, saying the other group pulled out. So this trip became a solo trip in the end. Itinerary was ONLY emailed out 1 day before i flew off and it all seems too last minutely pieced together. The saving grace was it was at least emailed out before the actual day. This really came as a shock to me as i booked with tour radar a tour to achieve a peace of mind, so i can enjoy the tour without much pre-planning an worrying about where to go for the next city. But it ended up being such a source of stress 4 days before the trip as there are no tour guides so i had to solo navigate my way through inter country connections and hopefully won't get lost. It was my first trip to Europe so it was really many stressful moments of navigation hoping i won't miss a connection or board or alight at the wrong stop or train station. The accommodation was good for 2 out of the 3 cities. One of the cities' hostel felt like a jail with no place to move, creaky beds and no lockers. Didn't help when someone actually vomited onto another person in my room. So to help those with booking for future trips, BE WARNED this could end up being a SOLO trip with NO GUIDES unless you have a group of 5 or more. To those uncomfortable with this fact, DO NOT BOOK this operator unless you want to experience the stress i did before i flew.

  • A

    Alexandra

    Asked on February 15th, 2025

    How much is the single supplement?

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • EuroadventuresOperatorWritten February 2025

      For the Best of the East trip, it would be a 600 Euro supplement over the twin/double price. So just under 70 Euro per night (as single rooms cost similar to a twin/double room). And that is for the 3-star hotel option and with breakfast each morning.

    Cassandra

    Asked on December 3rd, 2024

    Do we arrange our own flights?

    Flights / Transfers
    • EuroadventuresOperatorWritten December 2024

      We're currently running a sale for Black Friday (Travel Tuesday) and that'll save you 10% off of the list price of the trip. So for the 3-star hotel twin/double room package you'll save €270 if you book this week.

    • C

      Cassandra

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      What are my options? Can I substitute another person, get a credit or go solo? Will there be fees?

    • EuroadventuresOperatorWritten December 2024

      That would be fine to substitute another person. The trip is non-refundable since it was booked during the special promo sale. A date change would be fine however if that helps.

    • C

      Cassandra

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      What is the last day to switch a travel partner? Is it 2 months? Or can it be changed to another location as a solo?

    • EuroadventuresOperatorWritten December 2024

      You can change the names of travelers up until around 2-3 weeks before the trip. Since those are simply for hotel and ticket registrations it's possible to be pretty flexible with that.

    • C

      Cassandra

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      What if any is the additional cost to go solo?

    • EuroadventuresOperatorWritten December 2024

      The Best of Poland single room (3-star hotel) package would be €1999 (similar price to the same package for Best of the East).

    • C

      Cassandra

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      Could I switch from a 2 person to a one person vacation and choose a different destination without penalty? Does that company have any other Eastern European regions to tour as a single?

    • EuroadventuresOperatorWritten December 2024

      Yes that could be possible to switch trips or packages to a single package. What I might suggest is keeping the Best of the East but as a single package and then adding on Warsaw at the end.
