Customer Reviews
- Alyssa· June 26th, 2025This tour offers a unique opportunity to explore three distinct and vibrant European capitals – Sofia, Bucharest, and Budapest – all within the intimate setting of a small group. You'll get to delve into the rich history, diverse cultures, and stunning architecture of each city, from Sofia's ancient roots and impressive churches to Bucharest's grand boulevards and the majestic Danube-side beauty of Budapest. A small group tour means a more personalized and immersive experience. You'll likely enjoy more flexibility, deeper insights from your guides, and the chance to forge connections with fellow travelers. It's the perfect way to discover hidden gems and local favorites that larger tours might miss. If you're eager to uncover the magic of these three Eastern European gems without the crowds, this tour seems like an truly excellent option!Show more
