    Alan

    Asked on February 5th, 2026

    I am student in cyprus i want to travel, can you guide me for visa process?

    Visa
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026

      Visa and entry requirements vary depending on your nationality, and obtaining the correct visa for your trip including any countries you may transit through is the traveller's responsibility. We strongly recommend checking the visa requirements as soon as you have booked your trip, as this allows enough time to prepare the required documents and for your visa application to be processed. You can check the entry requirements for your nationality via your government's foreign travel advisories or consular websites, or by visiting our visa information page.

    Pam

    Asked on August 20th, 2025

    Can you accommodate us for such a tour starting in Venice and ending in Budapest? Our group might increase in size for additional family members. One would comprise two more adults and two adolescent children ages 12 and 14.

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025

      We do not offer any tours that begin in Venice and end in Budapest. The Discover Central Europe is a group tour so there is no way to adjust or make it a private tour in the opposite direction.

      Traveler•Written August 2025

      What tours depart from both Venice and from Florence?

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025

      At the moment there are not many activities / sightseeing included - it is mostly optional. What in the itinerary would you like to be included? Are you happy with the basic standard of accommodation, or would you like to upgrade the level?

    Ray

    Asked on August 5th, 2025

    mid June 2026. I need a tour like this to be from Venice to Budapest, not the other way around (We are arriving in Venice from a cruise). Can you offer us a tour starting in Venice? From Florence?

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025

      Unfortunately, there are no tours that start from Venice. We have two tours, both of which start in Budapest.

      This trip does have a minimum age requirement of 15 years old so, we will not be able to accomodate any child under that. We do have specific family tours designated to families and children ages 5 and up but none for Central Europe at this time.
