Does this tour visit Prague Castle?

You will be able to see castles in Prague but you won't be visiting or entering the castles.

I am was wondering about the current covid19 restrictions on the Berlin to Budapest by Train (9 Days). I am double vaccinated and probably will get the booster in Feb so I was wondering if the tour will potentially be impacted by lockdowns or border restrictions and what happens then.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I would be flying in from Australia so I do not have a EU Vaccine Certification but rather the Australian International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate.

This trip was absolutely amazing and one that will stay with me for a lifetime travelling to the UK/EU solo! The Trip Manager, Tom, went above and beyond to ensure everyone was bringing positive vibes, energy and motivation into each and every day. He would provide intel of each place in great detail with such ease and is proven to be a wealth of knowledge. The time and effort considered into each Day Sheet, PowerPoint presentation and Recommendations was very much appreciated! He is a lovely human being and very approachable/ helpful and kind - all the qualities you could possibly want within a Trip Manager!Show more
