Ultimate European (Plus Egypt, Start London)

About this trip

Forty-five days is enough time to actually get through a continent, not just skim the edges of it. Starting in London, this coach-based trip works its way across Europe, taking in places as far apart as Switzerland, Romania, Istanbul and Amsterdam, before finishing with a stretch in Egypt.

This is a long, structured group tour built around covering serious distance overland, with flights and ferries included where the route needs them. Expect a lot of driving between stops and a itinerary that keeps moving.

What you'll do

  • Overland coach travel across multiple European countries
  • Stop in Switzerland's mountain scenery
  • Explore Istanbul, straddling Europe and Asia
  • See Amsterdam's canals and city centre
  • Time in Romania
  • Extension to Egypt to close out the trip
Good to know
  • A long-haul itinerary — 45 days on the road with frequent moves between countries
  • Coach-based travel means long days getting between destinations
  • Suits people who want breadth over lingering in one place
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want a properly guided European sprint with strong group bonding. Think twice if you need flexibility or dislike early starts on 45-day itineraries.

  • Guide quality can genuinely transform the trip; Greg's knowledge, availability and willingness to party with the group stood out repeatedly.
  • Group cohesion is real—strangers become close mates by the end, which matters on a 45-day immersion across multiple countries.
  • No reviews mention logistics, costs, accommodation quality or daily realities—glossy testimonials lack detail on potential downsides.
  • This trip hinges on guide personality; reviews don't confirm whether all leaders match Greg's standard or what happens if yours doesn't.
