    Pretty expensive trip considering most of the including walking tours were boring and felt more like a school lesson instead of a fun experience.

    Nice tour. Only downside is the long drive some of the days. I suggest: - No more than 300km per day. - Morning boarding to bus by 8am to allow enough time for breakfast. - Hotels check-in no more than 6pm. Regards..

    We had an absolutely brilliant time on our vacation with you . Our guide Karliyn was the best , she was so well organized and had the patients of a saint . She was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble if you needed any help or information . Our driver Pascal was also wonderful . Not once did we feel unsafe with his driving . He also never ever complained about loading or unloading everyone's heavy suit cases . Based on our experience we would definitely recommend you to our family and friends . Well done and again thanks for making our vacation one to remember . All the best John and Michele

    Even though it was a fast paced tour (11 countries in 14 days), it was still a wonderful experience! Our tour guide (Karlijn) and driver (Pascal) made the journey the absolute best! If I could give 10 stars I would!

    We had the trip of a lifetime when we took the Europe Jewel! Our driver Pascal truly helped make our experience what it was as he was a very calm and knowledgeable driver who never made us nervous. Our tour guide Karlijn was also super and helped the group bond as a unit. This trip is a very busy trip as you get to your location, spend the night and get up early to board the bus again but it was manageable. I would not hesitate to take this trip if it interests you!

    Overall it was a great tour. Saw a lot of cities. Would have liked to spend more time in Vienna but other than that it was great. It was a lot to see and go, go, go but I enjoyed that aspect of it. It was cool waking up in a different city/country everyday.

      On our tours, solo travelers are automatically matched with a same-sex roommate, so there's no extra cost for accommodation if you're happy to share. However, if you prefer your own room, you can opt to pay a single supplement for private accommodation throughout the tour, subject to availability.

    Can I join this tour

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      At 85, you are welcome to join this tour as long as you are fully aware of the risks and the level of physical fitness that is required for this tour. We believe the best way to get to the heart and soul of a city is on foot, surrounded by the people and the culture. For this reason, we do walking tours through most of the cities we visit. Many of the cities you visit are vast and old, often with steps and cobblestones. Our walking tours can last up to 3 hours with plenty of opportunities to take photographs and soak up the history of these fascinating places, but you do require a certain level of fitness to enjoy your tour to its fullest.
