About this trip
Nine days on the road from Rome to Budapest, taking in a good stretch of central Europe's classic sights and cities along the way.
It's a fully guided group trip built for younger travellers who want to cover a lot of ground without spending a fortune — ancient ruins, food and wine in Italy, museum time, and nights out in some of the continent's livelier cities.
Expect a full schedule rather than downtime, with the group moving between destinations and sharing rooms throughout.
