What a brilliant trip, I opted for the 1 week group tour and then some solo travelling. The information provided pre trip and during was excellent. Our tour leader Kev was a brilliant lead and added to my super experience. Would highly recommend euroventure to anyone wanting to travel through Europe. Thanks

Berlin-to-Budapest Group Tour

31-Jul-2022

Just came back from the 8 days, fun filled Iron Curtain tour. My very first backpacking tour and very glad to have booked with Euroventure. They took the hassle of booking accomodations & transfers for me. I specially liked that there was equal time for group activities and for roaming around solo. Kev, our tour leader said we can do the activities we want and I took that to heart lol. Roamed around solo with confidence knowing that he was just a Whatsapp message away for any queries. Hostels - within city center, clean, accomodating staff Tranfers - within walking distance from hostels, reserved seats (very important) Tour - organized with enough time to explore each cities, equal opportunities for group and individual activities. All in all, very much recommended.
