Trip Reviews (13) View All Most Recent 'Bohemian Highlights' Reviews
All hotels ...read more that we stayed in were superb. The cities that were visited on the itinerary were breath-taking and although we only stayed for 2 days in each, it made you want to go back for more. The optional tours were excellent and a lot of fun. While the inclusions were outstanding and brought the group together more. I travelled as a solo but made many friends with both other solo travellers or other couples. There was a good range of Australian and overseas people on the tour.
My favourite destinations were Berlin, Budapest, Vienna and Prague. I will definitely be travelling with Trafalgar again. Their organisation and accessibility into the prominent sights is superb and you will always attain value for money on their tours.
It was a great experience.
