I'd like to know what the single supplement on this tour would be in April or May.

The single supplement would be an extra 1139 AUD.

Is there a pick up from a driver either from the hotel or the travel company to and from each airport?

We don't offer transfers for this tour, but you will be able to book a taxi to and from the airport.

Could you confirm the cost for single stay (1 person booking) and also if the tour operator can arrange Transportation back to hungary at an additional charge?

We do not offer transport back to Hungary. This will have to be arranged independently. We can request a single room for you at an additional charge of 659 Euros. Single room accommodations in European hotels are often smaller, and may not be to the same service level as double-occupancy rooms.

Do the accommodations for this tour have air conditioning given this very hot time of the year?

Most accommodation in Europe does not have air conditioning units in rooms. Air conditioning is not routinely installed in European homes and workplaces. However, nearly all hotels will provide a standing or desk fan for your room on hot nights.

Are single supplements available?

If you are traveling solo, you can either share with another traveler of the same gender or opt for a single supplement.

What if I need to add extra services?

Additional services like pre and post nights or optional activities can be quoted upon request.

do you also run this same tour in reverse? Sofia to Budapest?

This tour only goes in one direction: Budapest to Sofia.

What classification are the hotels and are meals included?

Hotels used are of standard class with some meals included, particularly breakfast.

Is local currency required in the countries visited or can euros be used?

Local currencies are used in the countries visited, using euros might incur bad exchange rates.

In comparison with other European tours, this was poor, partly for the quality of the hotels and partly for the itinerary. All hotels were poor, but some were terrible: no lifts, dirty, stained carpets, rotting doors in one hotel bathroom, with broken mirrors and a stench of damp. The itinerary was very limited. In an area of Romania famed for salt mines, we didn't visit one. An excellent tour group - Europamundo - offers about three times the number of attractions in this area offered by GAdventures - and at a lesser cost. At a price of $330 Australian per day, this tour was a complete ripoff. The tour guide, Andrei, was very good, and this was the only positive aspect of the tour. I would like the company directors of GAdventures to try out the sub-standard accommodation and limited itinerary they offer to participants. This tour was worth less than half of what I paid for it.Show more
