    Definitely worth the money. Everybody was great except one person in the group. That’s 1/28 so I guess it’s not bad. Our trip leader was exceptional. She was very knowledgeable and professional; but also knows how to have fun. It’s a lot of walking so you better be prepared for that. All the countries we visited were amazing in their own way. Our bus driver was also amazing. He made sure we make it to our destinations on time. Drive to the locations isn’t too bad either. We stop for breaks every 2 hours. Hotels aren’t the biggest but it’s Europe so it’s pretty normal. Overall this trip was worth the money.

    It is awesome, because you get to know several cities in two weeks, with a great group. The bad thing is that it is very tiring, and sometimes you spend pretty much the whole day on the road.

    Highly recommend doing a shorter trip first so you know what you’re in for in terms of bus travel and accomodation but it’s definitely not necessary. Pack lightly because you’ll be hauling that suitcase from the bus to the hostel and the driver can’t always park directly in front of it. It’s a long tour so make sure to pick up some cold and flu tablets because you will, at some point, get sick but that won’t impact the trip and it’s really easy to take a day off from extensive exploring or to recuperate on the bus. Be prepared to sleep in really weird positions because the bus is as comfortable as they can possibly be but it’s still a bus. Make sure you have your passport on you at all times because you’re crossing a lot of borders on this tour and you don’t want to be that person who has to pull their suitcase from the bottom of the bus and open it at customs. It happened on my tour. Don’t be afraid to mingle amongst everyone. I’ve been on a tour that was quite clique heavy before but this European Getaway Tour was 30+ people and I got to know every single one of them really well, and we had a blast every day and night. But at the same time, it’s totally okay if you need some alone time so take that at your accomodation or on the bus, try not to wander off alone while exploring unless you know your way around. It’s real easy to get lost but you’ll find your way back eventually.
