Gotta-See Europe: Germany, Austria, Italy

Amsterdam → Vatican City 17 days Up to 24

About this trip

This 17-day trip runs from Amsterdam to Rome, taking in a long stretch of central Europe's big-name cities along the way. It's hostel-based and group-run, with a guide leading you through each stop rather than you working it out alone.

Expect a mix of city time and scenery: Berlin's history and art scene, the architecture of Prague and Vienna, a hike around a mountain lake en route to Salzburg, and Innsbruck's alpine setting. The trip then drops into Tuscany before finishing in Rome.

It's a broad sweep through some of Europe's most visited places, aimed at those who want a lot of ground covered rather than lingering long in any one spot.

What travellers actually say

Worth it if you value group bonding and broad Europe coverage. Think twice if you want historical depth or transparent pricing.

  • Group dynamics genuinely strong; travellers stay in touch long after the trip ends.
  • Hostels swapped last-minute to cheaper, distant locations despite higher advertised price.
  • Tour leader handles logistics only; no historical commentary. Pay extra for proper guided tours.
  • Breakfast 'inclusion' misleading; hostels provide it regardless of tour booking.
