What people love about Europe Tours in April
- Small Group: Imperial Cities and Austrian Alps from Belgrade
It’s a good tour, but beware 2+ hours are spent an outlet mall. Also, one of the hotels we stayed in had no air conditioner; only oscillating fan. Seeing the beautiful architecture was the best. More history lessons would have made it a great tour
- European Encounter (Summer, Start London, Classic)
Great tour! Our tour manager is great! Highly recommended tour. You can book directly to Contiki. Tour radar platform is not up to far with the standard.
- Sofia to Bucharest Grand Discovery Tour - Small Group Tour
Everything was top-notch, from the knowledgeable guide to the well-planned itinerary. Thank you for a fantastic experience!
