Itinerary
Day 1: Budapest
Arrive at any time.
Spend your first night with your CEO and group at one of Budapest's famous nightlife spots. Where old meets new, and you meet your fellow travellers and your journey's beginning.
We highly recommend booking pre-accommodation to fully explore this breathtaking city.
Day 2: Budapest/Krakow
Enjoy free time to explore Hungary's capital. Opt to check out the beautiful Parliament building, stroll the streets or visit the thermal baths. Visit a G Adventures-supported café that assists Hungarians living with a disability before boarding the overnight train to Krakow.
With the Danube River dividing old town, Buda, from the newer area, Pest, there is plenty to see and do.
Day 3: Krakow
Use free time today to visit Auschwitz, travel to see old salt mines, or stay in the city to explore the Jewish Quarter. In the afternoon, enjoy an orientation walk.
Opt to visit Rynek Główny - Europe's largest medieval market square; savour a traditional Polish breakfast (kielbasa, yum), or sit back with a coffee and a slice of Poland's famous cheesecake (sernik babci) at one of the many cafes in the area. Then, walk it off with a stroll uphill to marvel at the impressive Wawel Royal Castle.
Day 4: Krakow/Prague
Take a day train to Prague, then enjoy an orientation walk around town, including a visit to a genuine beer hall. Later, enjoy your Big Night Out with the group. Na Zdravi!
Imagine a city lined with Bohemian art, beer halls offering the finest brews in the region, tranquil gardens, and ornate chapels - it's no wonder why visitors fall in love with this place. Take the afternoon and get lost.
Day 5: Prague
Free day for exploration—check out the Prague castle complex or walk the cobblestone streets through the old town and Jewish ghetto.
Enjoy all Prague has to offer. Opt to visit the famous Charles Bridge, the clock tower in the main square or a traditional Czech beer hall with serious helpings of meat and potatoes.
Day 6: Prague/Berlin
Take a train to Germany and enjoy an orientation walk in Berlin. Opt to check out the city's vibrant nightlife.
Berlin is an amazing city with tangible historical importance and a melting pot of different cultures and flavours.
Day 7: Berlin
Depart at any time.

Andrei did an awesome job, and it was so so nice having a small group - getting to know everybody and make memories vs other tours where you're stuck in a coach bus being toted around with 50 other people.

Amazing CEO, very organised tour. The tour allows for free time

Group was very small as half the group decided not to socialise (didn't come to activities, booked their own accommodation) so it was difficult to meet new people. The overnight train was awful and the complete lack of sleep ruined the rest of the trip. Activities, tour guide and places visited were good.

As a solo traveller it was the best way for me to see places in Europe that I hadn't been before, it allowed me to be on my own while having the security of a group. It also provided company

The reason why I chose a score of 9 was because overall I was very happy with the tour. The accommodation was good, where we went for food each evening I was happy with. My tour leader Fabrizio was very good. Approachable and dealt with you like You were an adult. For instance there was a daily itinerary but you were free to do your own thing too, which was appreciated in my case.

The trip struck pretty much the right balance in terms of itinerary, activities, places, etc, and was generally well-organised. The only slight downside was the duration spent in each place - at times it felt slightly rushed.

It is a very enjoyable trip with exciting destinations and very good local knowledge provided by the guide, however it was very fast paced and not enough time was spent at each destination

The CEO made the whole experience feel so intimate and supported. Everything was seamless and it was great not to have to think about planning all the logistics because our CEO was on top of it!

There were some great aspects about travelling in a group with G Adventures. There were some activities I would have never experienced or known about if I wasn't with the group. It was great having everything organized, so I didn't have to worry about accommodations or travel. However, I only gave an 8 because I believe most people would be okay to travel through Europe without a group. I also feel that this style of travel was a bit too fast paced, it was a bit exhausting travelling to four countries in 6 days. Additionally, although I knew the hostels were part of this experience, they were not the best quality in terms of staff organization and location.
