Just all round an amazing trip. The places. The people. Nicole and Daniel as trip leader and driver made it just so special. I had just turned 18 and was solo and there was not one time I felt scared unsafe or alone. Absolutely the perfect trip. Cant rate high enough!!
It was my first time spending Christmas and New Year in European countries and the tour did not disappoint! Our tour leader (Firo) was knowledgeable and committed to delivering an outstanding experience throughout the trip. His energy level and sense of humor were consistent, and I appreciate that. Not to mention our coach driver (Bobby), he is such a gem and a lovely person! He always made sure we get to the places on time and safely. Admittedly, I was a little anxious about having to do such a long trip as a female solo traveler but was surprised by the amazing people I met during the tour. There were more solo travelers participating in this than I expected, which was great. The tour was very inclusive and I never felt alone despite being in a foreign country during the festive season. Some beautiful friendships were formed during this trip and I wouldn't have it the other way. We laughed, we cried, and it was the best way to end the year 2022 and start the year 2023. I'm glad I did this!
The trip overall was great, and the people made it so much more. I feel some of the places we stayed were a little far, or on the outskirts and that wasn’t the most convenient. Also this tour needs more time in Poland. The drive day to Warsaw was long and left little time to explore and “take it all in” so to speak, especially when places close early. Also with all the 1 nights on the eastern part of the tour, it was a little busy.
