We enjoyed this trip a lot although at times the quantity of walking was challenging due to the heat. Good walking shoes, a ha, sun glasses and a water bottle were essential in the August sun and heat wave. City guides were knowledgeable and provided good introductions to the various cities, their culture and history, particularly the guide in Berlin. Two of the add-ons were particularly memorable: the concert in Vienna and the dinner cruise in Budapest. Our tour leader was friendly and did her best to accommodate individual needs.
The tour was very well organized and provided us with amazing experiences. We were able to see the most important sights in each location. The pre planning and logistics work by our tour guide and coach driver ensured that we were able to make the most of the experience.
While there is the option to sit out some of the walking tours it's better to know ahead of time what you're getting yourself into. Some of the best parts are best seen on foot but if you can't handle lots of walking this may not be the trip for you. You will make great friends and experience once in a lifetime moments so if you can do it I highly recommend it!
