Itinerary
Day 1: Rome
Arrive at any time.
“On an evening in Roma…” Venture out to a bar or pub with your CEO and fellow travellers for drinks and conversation. As you explore the winding cobblestone streets and sidewalks of The Eternal City, prepare for the endless excitement about to unfold on the rest of your journey.
Day 2: Rome/Florence
Enjoy a G Adventures supported migrant led walk of Rome before heading to Florence. Walk through the city catching a glimpse of the Duomo, Piazza Indipendenza and Ponte Vecchio.
Explore a different side of Rome on a walking tour led by a migrant guide and see Rome through the eyes of a recent newcomer to Italy.
Leave Rome behind and head towards Florence. No city can boast of such artistic richness as this romantic Renaissance city. Food, art, culture, and beautiful views put this outstanding Italian city in a field of its own. The list of things to see and do in Florence and the surrounding Tuscan countryside is unlimited, be it art, nature, architecture, history, or food and drink!
Day 3: Florence
Free day in Florence to explore. Opt for a day trip to nearby Siena, or just enjoy all the city has to offer.
For a truly local experience, indulge your inner gastronome on a culinary tour of the city. Opt to pre-book the "Florence Food Tour" on the checkout page ahead of time, to include this optional on your tour.
Day 4: Florence/Venice
Catch a train into Venice. Enjoy an orientation walk along the canals, then take some time to explore the city's winding streets on your own.
Opt to take a ride in a gondola, visit Piazza San Marco, or discover the magic behind Murano glass.
Day 5: Venice/Ljubljana
Journey to Ljubljana, Slovenia. Explore the Ljubjanica River lined with outdoor cafes, or opt to take a quick trip to nearby Bled.
Day 6: Ljubljana/Vienna
Catch the bus to Vienna. Take a short orientation walk around this incredible city.
Day 7: Vienna
Free time to wander the imperial streets of Austria's capital, with its grand buildings, gardens, museums, and tasty pilsner. Opt to see the Lipizzaner 'dancing' horses.
After tiring yourself out with sightseeing, pop into a café, a Viennese institution. For a slice of local life, the cafés are good places to relax and get your bearings while deciding what to do next. A delicious café experience involves Gugelhupf, one of Vienna's specialty cakes, and a cup of Melange (half coffee, half milk).
Day 8: Vienna/Budapest
Travel from Vienna to Budapest by train and take orientation walk upon arrival before enjoying a free afternoon to explore. Visit the beautiful Parliament building, stroll along the streets or check out the thermal baths. Hit up the city's nightlife in the evening on a Big Night Out with the group.
To gain deeper insight on local history, opt to pre-book the "Budapest History Walking Tour" on the checkout page ahead of time, to include this optional on your tour.
Day 9: Budapest
Depart at any time.

Our team guise, Helena is just amazing and the other traveller',s were really amazing which made the whole experience even better. The whole tour was great. However would be better to have some nicer hostels in places like Ljubljana for example

The tour was too quick and fast moving, barely enough time to see anything. When we did see things we were exhausted. wouldn't recommend this style of travel at this pace to anyone, even young people such as ourselves.

G Adventures is such an easy way to travel and explore, with everything being organised for you! I only wish that the trip was a little longer so we could spend a few more days in each destination!

I had a fantastic time. Daya did an amazing job with helping us on the trip and showing us each of the places we visited. I loved the style of travel that had more freedom to choose what to explore, but enough structure that I didn't have to worry about the details.

The whole experience was incredible from start to finish. So organized, and fun! It made me, as a solo traveller, feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed by the group. I didn't have to worry about the big things like accommodation and travel to and from countries/cities which causes me a lot of stress while travelling. My tour leader, Daya, was extremely knowledgeable, kind and lots of fun. She truly made the experience an unforgettable one. I have already recommended G Adventures to my friends for all of the above reasons and more!

I think it really depends on the person and what I think their interest is. For example, I was the only one on my trip who didn't drink alcohol, and everyone respected that, but it felt a little isolating at times. But if someone does drink, and really wants to go out a lot balanced with experiencing new places, I would definitely recommend.

Jason M - Traveled, April 2023
I really liked how all of the travel and the accommodations were arranged. I also absolutely loved our tour guide, Barbara, and the group I got to travel with. They were really some amazing folks and Barbara',s knowledge let me experience activities I otherwise would not have known to check out. My main criticism is that there weren't a lot of activities included for the price I paid. It was pretty expensive given that none of the food and very few of the other activities were included.

I guess they'don't have the same travel style as i have. There was a really high pace. For me it was great, but it's not for everyone.

The set up to be able to hit the high points of a country/city is very convenient to do in such a short time.
