  • C

    Carl

    Asked on December 12th, 2023

    I would like to see what the cabins and restaurants look like. Maybe you could give me the name of the boat. I notice that there is quite a big differences in prices between the cruises. I would prefer to pay for the extra comfort as opposed to those costing around$1400 for example.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Balkan and moreOperator•Written December 2023

      Please note that Imperial Cities tour is not a cruise, but rather land tour. There are only optional cruises in some of the visited places as a couple of hours cruise, such as Danube on Budapest, or Vtlava in Prague, and they do not include reservation of cabin with overnight on boat.

  • P

    Paul

    Asked on November 4th, 2022

    How much would the cost be for a private tour? We have 2 children ages 5 & 7 that can sleep with us on the existing bed. What does 2BB have that is different from 1BB? Is there no lunch or dinner included? Will the tour guide help us find a family friendly place to have lunch and dinner if its not included?

    Accommodation
    Meals
    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Balkan and moreOperator•Written November 2022

      According to the hotels general policy, you would have to stay in a triple room. One of the children will have their own bed, and the younger one can stay in an existing bed. We are in the middle of the price updating process and it will be ready on Monday! We can arrange this tour on a private basis for your family.

  • E

    Emma

    Asked on June 22nd, 2022

    Is this tour appropriate for senior citizens? Also, is there a vegetarian food option?

    Age Range
    Meals
    • Balkan and moreOperator•Written June 2022

      This tour is suitable for the senior citizens as long as they can walk reasonable distances during the sightseeing. We had 85-year-old clients and they did it really great. The vegetarian food is available on the tour, of course! The only thing is that the date July 5th is no longer available. Perhaps, you can consider some departure in September/October. It is very hot during summer and this is something that can bother the senior citizens.

  • J

    Joe

    Asked on March 1st, 2022

    Accommodation
    Flights / Transfers
    • Balkan and moreOperator•Written March 2022
