      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 and extra cost (about 979.00 USD)+ the tour price and have your own room (this is subject to availability).

    Dean

    Asked on April 12th, 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

    Travel Support
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025

      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.

      Traveler•Written April 2025

      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

    Zoe

    Asked on September 5th, 2024

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

    Price / Availability
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2024

      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.

      Zoe

      Traveler•Written September 2024

      When do I get a confirmation so that I can book my flights.

    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2024

      Due to an outage on 02 September, 2024 that impacted our reservations system the National Geographic Journeys and Family Journeys products remain unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask that you please try again at a later date. Unfortunately at this time we are unsure of when that will be.

    Joanna

    Asked on September 22nd, 2023

    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.

    Accommodation
    Group size
    Transport
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2023

      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.

    Ross

    Asked on July 15th, 2023

    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?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2023

      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.
