The primary means of transportation of this trip is by train. Trains are the fastest way to cross long distances, allowing you to avoid traffic jams and arrive right into the city centre. Please note that you’ll have to carry your own luggage on and off the train, so make sure it doesn’t exceed in weight and size.

Be prepared to walk a lot as we believe that there is no better way to explore a new city than on foot.

If you choose the multi share room, you will share a room with other travellers not necessarily taking part of the tour. This trip is a great opportunity to get to know other like-minded people, so embrace it while you can.

We are not a bus tour company and we do not shepherd the groups from one place to the other. Flexibility, good mix of free time and organised activities with our team are part of our company and philosophy

Your leader and the composition of your group may change in certain days as the groups are small and we want to make sure you can meet as many new fellow travellers as possible.
