Keep in mind
We work hard to maintain consistency across all of our tours, but some trips have unique differences. Here are some things to keep in mind about this tour.
We use charming and modern hotels but A/C or fans may not always be available since they haven't been needed traditionally. Read more on the use of air conditioning in Europe here.
We use a number of bike paths on this trip which means that the support van is less readily available.Dates, prices & booking

The best way to see parts of Europe that you otherwise would never see. A tour with a personal guide.

This tour had the most beautiful scenery of all our 14 ExPlus tours. The drama of the lakes and mountains was spectacular.
