About this trip
This is an overland journey through Poland, Slovakia and Hungary, running from Krakow to Budapest with the Danube as your finish line.
You move through historic cities, rolling countryside and small villages, with a good mix of walking, rafting and underground exploring along the way.
It suits travellers who want a taste of several countries in one go rather than settling deep into just one.
What you'll do
- Wander the historic streets of Krakow
- Raft the Dunajec Gorge past limestone cliffs
- Walk among the peaks and forested slopes of the High Tatra
- Go underground in the UNESCO-listed mining town of Banska Stiavnica
- Finish on the banks of the Danube in Budapest
- Fully guided group trip with a moderate pace
- Covers three countries, so expect regular travel days between stops
We started tracking this trip on 21 Jul — the chart appears once a few days of real history build up. Every point is a price we recorded ourselves.
Your free day in Krakow
Landing early, staying on, or filling free time? The best-rated day experiences in Krakow — you book on Viator (we may earn a commission).
Worth it if you want active culture with standout guides and don't mind group size shifts. Think twice if you need Vienna depth or expect a consistent group for 15 days.
- Dunajec gorge rafting, Prague and Budapest city tours, and Krakow salt mine are genuine highlights.
- Guides Alena and Miro are exceptional—patient, knowledgeable, and repeatedly praised as best-in-career calibre.
- Group composition changes mid-trip if you book both weeks; second week becomes noticeably larger and less intimate.
- Vienna and Budapest warrant more time than the itinerary allows; consider extending separately if both matter to you.
