About this trip
Six and a half weeks across Europe, starting in Paris and running all the way to the Greek islands, taking in Switzerland, Romania, Istanbul and Amsterdam along the way. This is for people who want the long version, not a highlights reel squeezed into a fortnight.
It's a partially guided trip, so you'll have a group and some structure but also room to explore places on your own terms. Ferries are included for the island-hopping stretch, and the pace throughout is easy rather than rushed.
With this much ground covered, you're getting a proper cross-section of European city life, culture and coastline, from grand capitals to quieter island time.
What you'll do
- Start the trip in Paris
- Travel through Switzerland
- Spend time in Istanbul
- Explore Amsterdam
- Cross Romania as part of the overland route
- Island-hop the Greek islands by included ferry
- A 45-day commitment, so this suits travellers who can take real time off
- Shared rooms throughout
- Partially guided — expect a mix of group activities and free time
Worth it if you want a well-run 45-day European blitz with standout guides who genuinely party with the group. Think twice if you need detailed logistics or expect guide consistency across tours.
- Guide quality transforms the trip; Greg stayed out partying nightly whilst answering every question knowledgeably.
- Group bonding is real; strangers become family through shared early starts, long days, and evenings together.
- Guide quality appears highly variable; reviews obsess over one exceptional guide, implying others don't match that standard.
- 45 days is genuinely long and demanding; success hinges partly on your guide's stamina and personality match.
