About this trip
Eleven days through some of Central Europe's most storied cities, taking in Munich, Prague, Krakow, Budapest and Vienna by coach. It's a trip built around history and architecture, with guided walks to bring context to what you're seeing and free time to wander on your own.
Expect a mix of grand imperial streets and heavier historical ground. You'll spend time in Munich's beer halls, walk the Danube in Budapest, take in Vienna's old-world grandeur, and visit the Auschwitz concentration camp as part of the Krakow leg — a sobering counterpoint to the rest of the sightseeing.
Food and local life get a look-in too, with Bavarian cooking in Munich and Czech dishes in Prague, alongside the museums and monuments.
What you'll do
- Taste Bavarian dishes in Munich
- Walk Prague's old town with a local guide
- Visit the Auschwitz concentration camp near Krakow
- Explore Krakow's old town at leisure
- Stroll along the Danube in Budapest
- Take in Vienna's historic centre
- Coach-based, so you cover a lot of ground with travel days between cities
- Includes free days in Prague, Krakow and Budapest to explore independently
- The Auschwitz visit is a heavier, reflective stop within an otherwise lighter sightseeing itinerary
Worth it if you want a whirlwind overview of Eastern Europe with a solid guide. Think twice if you need comfort, downtime, or detailed planning ahead.
- Guide quality varies wildly—Rachelle, Edgar, and Peter earned genuine praise for going beyond the job.
- Hotels are genuinely mixed: no AC despite promises, small dark rooms, chaotic check-ins after long bus days.
- Pace is relentless across seven countries in 11 days; Vienna gets an afternoon, 'free' days include scheduled tours.
- Optional excursions cost serious money (1000 euros for a family of four) and included meals are uninspired.
