Amazing tour!!!! The tour leader was one of the most fun leaders I have seen. She had so much energy and warmness. Many of the destinations on this tour were not the typical tourist type places, but that was refreshing. I especially enjoyed Sarajevo. In fact the whole tour was worth it because of this unexpected beautiful city. I would love to have spent more time there. Kotor was also especially beautiful! I highly recommend a hike to the mountains for a view over the town and a swim in the lake. If you decide to visit these countries I strongly recommend researching about the history before hand. A small group of people on the day trip in Sarajevo did not listen to the guide and missed out through not understanding the places visited. I felt bad for the guide as he did an amazing job to explain the difficult very recent history of the country. I read the book ‘The Cellist of Sarajevo’ before I visited, which helped add more context to my historical knowledge of the region.
Eastern Europe ExplorerA well organised tour. Our guide was fantastic and really made the trip for us. Communication was excellent. We were never in any doubt what to expect. Everyone on our tour loved him. The itinerary was good and we felt it was enough time in each place but that's because we're not really into cities. We felt we had time to see everything we wanted to do.
Best of Central EuropeGood except for a couple of minor hiccups which weren't really tourradars fault but did impact on our trip.

Best time to visit Eastern Europe
- Summer 2026
Summer's Best of Central Europe route balances city experiences with mountain activities perfectly. The hiking in Slovakia's Tatra Mountains works for different fitness levels, and our travelers love how well-planned the routes are. You'll get plenty of time in cities too - think jazz clubs in Prague and thermal baths in Budapest. The guides do a great job mixing scheduled activities with free time, so you can choose between exploring castles, taking river cruises and joining food tours. The medieval town of Cesky Krumlov is especially nice in summer evenings when the streets come alive with local energy.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn routes connecting Budapest through Romania and also Bulgaria really deliver something special. The Carpathian forests turn golden, making walks through traditional villages even more memorable. You'll visit unique spots like the colorful "Merry Cemetery" in Maramures and Bran Castle in Transylvania. It's perfect timing for wine experiences - try homemade varieties in rural Romania or visit established wineries in Bulgaria's Melnik region. The mild weather makes city exploration really pleasant, whether you're discovering Prague's Jewish Quarter or walking Budapest's grand boulevards.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
The Imperial Capitals winter tour really shines during the festive season, connecting Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava and also Prague. Our travelers often mention how much they enjoy ducking into Vienna's elegant coffee houses for traditional pastries when it's cold outside. Budapest's thermal baths feel extra special in winter, and the evening concerts in historic venues add something magical to the experience. You'll find fewer tourists crowding Prague's Old Town and Budapest's ruin bars this time of year, which means more genuine interactions with locals.

- Spring 2027
Spring opens up Eastern Europe beautifully, with routes running from Budapest through Transylvania and into Bulgaria. The weather's just right for hiking in the Carpathians, and you can take your time exploring medieval towns like Sighisoara and also Veliko Tarnovo. In Bulgaria, you'll taste wines in centuries-old cellars and visit orthodox monasteries, while Romania offers authentic village homestays. Another route links Prague to Berlin through Krakow, mixing historical sites with modern culture. Food experiences really come alive in spring - you can learn to make pierogi in Krakow and sample Bull's Blood wine in Eger's rolling valleys.
