Stien was a fantastic guide and she played a major part in making the entire trip a lot of fun. She was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire tour! With her knowledge and interest in travel, it was amazing to learn all about the different locations from her from history and culture to the food and languages. I hope that I get the chance to travel with Tourradar and Stien again in the future!

She was always kind and always bubbly and positive even when she was sick and had to miss out on the part of the trip she was most excited about. She always went out of her way to help all 50+ of us wether it be with sickness, transport, meals, drunkenness, hot spots, and extra activities. She made bus trips bearable with good movies and new music we had never heard before. She was always happy and we always had a good time. She made me feel so safe when we were travelling and made sure we were aware of all the scams locals played on tourists and made sure we were protected in our hotels. She is not only an amazing tour guide but an amazing person. I would go on tour with her again for sure. In fact next tour I do will be determined by if she is the tour guide or not! Absolutly made the experience a million times better. She has the most contagious laugh and the sweetest smile. Love you lots Stein xx Paris ;)

I was very apprehensive about being on the bus for long periods of time and I struggle with that. But the bus was beyond comfortable and considering that it was basically our second home, it was a wonderful second home. Our bus driver was super talented and got us every in amazing time and with utmost safety. Our trip leader was simply spectacular. We could not have gotten a better trip leader. Stien is a very caring, generous, kind and funny person and that really translates into her work and her passion for her job. She made us all feel very comfortable from the very first day and took care of us as though we were her own family. The knowledge that Stien has for all the places we visited, plus some, was truly admirable! She has a passion for history and knows almost, if not more, than the tour guides we had in all the cities. The team of Stien and our driver Marek made a dream pair and we just loved every moment with them. All trips will have some small down sides (they are inevitable), but if you are lucky to have an incredible group then it makes the trip so memorable and fun. And if you are blessed enough to have the most incredible trip leader as we had in Stien, then you are in for a very special and happy trip with a lifetime of wonderful experiences and memories! Thank you for everything Stien, we honestly can’t thank you enough!

No wasted days, every day of the tour was spent well. A 2 night break in Pula was much needed time to relax and recharge, ready for the next half of the tour. The provided meals were alright. Activities and stops along the way were diverse, informative, and definitely fun. Our driver was very friendly, welcoming and is an excellent skilled driver! Felt very safe. The coach was spacious, clean. The transportation (tubes, trams, buses) in each city was explained well to us by our tour leader Stien. Stein is an extremely warm and fun person with a bright confidence, and was super easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable! I enjoyed listening to her talk about the history and significance about each stop on the tour. I liked how we didn't lose our independence and are left to our own devices. I was worried that the tour would be constant group activities, a type of 'follow the leader' tour. We had introductions to get our bearings in a new city and that was all we needed! So good. I also liked getting to know everyone :)

Stien also planned extra activities that weren’t included in the itinerary but turned out to be highlights of the tour (steak dinner in Florence and medieval dinner in Prague). After being on 3 tours Stien has by far been the best trip leader I’ve had.

And she knows how to party! Everyone was super lovely and the small size of the tour group meant we had heaps of bus space. Best top deck tour ever! Way better than my first one.

Stien is so knowledgeable about each country and knows the hot spots to hit. She was easily approached if I had any concerns (my only one was how could i stay longer!) She was a very fun guide with a great sense of humor. When I'm looking to do another trip I hope Stein is my guide! I have and would recommend again and a hit part of my wonderful experience was thanks to Stein!

She was incredibly knowledgeable and made every moment fun for our group! She had plenty of recommendations of places to go or see, suiting a variety of different travellers likes. Stien even went out of her way to organize a flourentine steak dinner for us on an evening without an included meal. Any group that travels with Stien is guarenteed an unforgettable, once in a lifetime trip!

Most the side activities are totally worth it. The bus rides in between the locations are a great time to cool off from the exicitement between the locations, but bring something to do when you aren't sleeping like a kindle or movies loaded onto your phone. Go into things with an open mind.

ABSOLUTELY¡
