About this trip
This eight-day trip runs from Germany down through the Alps into Italy, staying in hostels along the way as you take in a solid stretch of Central and Western Europe.
You'll spend time in Innsbruck against its alpine backdrop, wander Venice's streets and canals, hike near the clear waters of Lake Misurina, then continue south via Florence to Rome.
It's an easy-paced group trip with food a real focus once you reach Italy, ending on a proper Roman food experience.
What you'll do
- Explore Innsbruck's old town with the Alps as a backdrop
- Wander the canals and streets of Venice
- Hike around Lake Misurina's clear waters

Worth it if you're a first-time European traveller seeking confidence and group camaraderie. Think twice if you need flexibility or longer stays in each place.
- Guide Katha's local knowledge and logistical coordination made navigating three countries seamless and culturally rich.
- Eight days seeing Venice, Alps, Rome and Germany builds genuine confidence to travel independently afterwards.
- Itinerary doesn't specify free time windows upfront, making advance activity bookings like the Colosseum impossible.
- Accommodation confirmations arrive late; one traveller lost USD 300 and morning activities to hostel mix-up.
