What people love about Europe Tours for Young Adults
- Whole of Europe Group Rail Tour (18-30 year olds)
Have recently returned from the Whole of Europe group tour and I can honestly say I can not recommend Euroventure highly enough! For anyone that is nervous about travelling alone or just wants the opportunity to travel with a group of likeminded people this is the perfect opportunity! Also having Euroventure sort out all accommodation and travel took a lot of the stress out of the trip for me! Our tour leader was Tom who was super friendly and always able to help if we had questions or simply recommend fun things to do in each city! Will definitely be looking to book with a Euroventure again!
- Rome to Berlin: Piazzas, Prague & the Past
Great diversity of countries and cities but WAY too fast paced. One night in Slovenia and Poland was ridiculous and with travel time some days we spent less than 15 hours in the city. The guide was a but inexperienced so we didn't have a good description of some of the cities. Great way to make friends and see cities! Would recommend going end of August or later as it was still very hot going through the cities!!
- Rome to London Quest (Standard, Summer ( Until Mar '27), Classic)
Maite was absolutely amazing. She planned everything well, knew so much about the history of every city we went to, played great music, was hilarious, and always had us ready to go and do all the things the next day. I miss Maite all the time, she becomes like a best friend and you miss having her organize your life.
