Is there a single supplement?

I'm interested in something in the month of October 2025

Can you please provide information about the included eSIM. When do we receive it; does it work across all Europe or just the 3 countries we will visit on the Explore Central Europe: Berlin to Budapest tour

You'll receive an email when your eSIM is ready to be activated. eSIMs can only be activated within 72 hours before your tour departs — if it's too early, please try again closer to your departure date. You'll need to download the TourRadar app to access your eSIM. We'll also send you an app notification once it's available. Make sure you're logged into the app using the same email address connected to your booking — this is required to access and redeem your eSIM. Your phone must also support eSIM functionality.

I would like to not share a room. Would that be possible and what is the cost?

Our tours are based on twin share rooming. If you would prefer to add a single supplement, we can do so for an additional 979 USD.

Can you please let me know if this tour on 19-27July has a definite departure, and also how many are currently booked.

Yes this trip is a guaranteed departure, and there are currently 2 people booked on this trip.

I'm trying to book Tour ID 85777 for 2 people (Oct 5-13), but it shows only 1 space left.

We do currently have two spaces available on this tour, however it is on a request basis. This means that our local office must check availability in all of the components of the tour, such as hotels. This process takes 3-5 working days.

Do we stay only in hotels? Reading the info on TourRader includes "pensions" That would not be for me. Also, how many people on tour and general ages. How do we travel from city to city.

On this trip you can expect to stay in small family-run hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights. You can expect to find clean, safe, simple accommodation in convenient locations. Maximum group size is 12 people and this tour is open for ages 12+ but typically we get ages 40 and over for this one. We use Train, private van, walking.

Is there any possible to join the tour for 2

The Explore Central Europe National Geographic Journeys tour only has 1 spot left. The only departures as of right now with space for 2 people are Sat, 09 Sep - Sun, 17 Sep 2023 or Sat, 20 Apr - Sun, 28 Apr 2024.

I would like to schedule this trip. However, I was wondering if it would be possible to skip the Berlin part of the Trip (start when you're heading to the next city) and how much would the cost be?

We can arrange for you to meet the group on day 3 morning when they are travelling to Prague. This would mean you would miss 1 day of touring and two nights accommodation. We are not able to refund or offer any discount for missing these services.

Where do I fly in and out of?

You fly into Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) and out of Budapest Airport (BUD)

The trip exceeded my expectations. The group I was in was a perfect fit. We opted to stick together more than being on our own. Mandy, our CEO, did a magnificent job. She is organized, patient and is incredibly personable. She took care of us every step of the way. I would definitely recommend G Adventures to family and friends and it is highly likely that I will plan another trip with G next summer.Show more

  We do not have any October departures for this tour. If you are interested in September, we have availability for single occupancy. On this tour, you have 2 choices as a solo traveller: 1. Pay the twin/double price as per the website and share with another solo traveller of the same gender. 2. Pay and extra cost (about 979.00 USD)+ the tour price and have your own room (this is subject to availability).

  Thanks Sherwin, I have noted my device is supported for eSIM. I will need to make sure my provider hasn't locked it from eSIM though. I look forward to receiving the email with further details just prior to my trip
