A 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 Europe (15 destinations)Thank you Flavia ,I truly appreciate your hard work in organizing the trip. It was a great experience!
Budapest to IstanbulWe had an absolutely fantastic experience travelling through Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria with our guide, Dragan. From the very beginning, it was obvious how passionate he is about the Balkans and sharing the history, culture and stories that make this region so special. His knowledge was incredible, but what really stood out was how engaging and approachable he was. Every day felt like travelling with a friend who genuinely loved what he was doing. He brought each destination to life with interesting insights, local recommendations and fascinating stories that you simply wouldn’t discover on your own. No question was ever too much trouble. Whether it was history, local customs, food, politics or daily life in the region, he was always happy to answer with enthusiasm and depth. His passion for the Balkans was infectious and made the whole journey far more meaningful. He was also an excellent driver, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip, even on long travel days. Everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the experience. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, personable, professional and genuinely excited to showcase the beauty of Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria, I couldn’t recommend him more highly. He played a huge part in making this journey such a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Best time to visit Eastern Europe
- 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.

- Summer 2027
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.
