  • T

    Tina

    Asked on April 25th, 2026

    Do you have a deal of some sort that connects the London to Berlin tour by train to this tour? I like the idea of doing both back to back from July 5-13 and this one starts July 11 in Berlin. As such I don't want to pay for extra unnecessary accommodation.

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperator•Written April 2026

      The London to Berlin by Train tour departing July 5 will end on July 13. If you are interested in doing a back-to-back trip with the Berlin to Budapest by Train tour departing July 11, our suggestion is to complete the first tour on July 11 and then join the second tour on the same day, or end it on July 13 and join the second tour the same day by heading directly to the hotel. Please note that this transfer would be at your own expense. Even if you end the first tour early or join late for the second tour, the full tour price will still apply, as any unused portion of the trip is non-refundable.

    Jeffrey

    Asked on January 16th, 2022

    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.

    • ContikiOperator•Written January 2022

      We will not be operating the trip for February 2022. Here are other options you can look at: Amsterdam to Budapest by Train or London to Budapest by Train. We have available dates from April 2022 onwards.
