What's this trip about?

    Get ready to experience a few iconic cities of Central Europe with the convenience of a small group guided tour. Start your voyage in Budapest, Hungary, where you'll be greeted with a welcome dinner and an escorted experience through the regions of "Buda" and "Pest." Embrace the medieval culture, indulge in local foods, and take in the landscape while perusing this amazing city.  Following a stop at the Basilica of Esztergom and a visit to Bratislava, you'll be transported to Vienna, Austria – also known as "The City of Music." This capital city is rich in history and famous for being the birthplace of Sigmund Freud and Mozart. During your time here, you'll tour popular attractions including St. Stephen's Cathedral, Prater Amusement Park, and Hofburg Palace.  The last leg of your Small Group Journey brings you to the Czech Republic. Enjoy a brief stop in the town of Telc – known for its impressive Renaissance architecture before heading to Prague. "The City of a Hundred Spires," is filled with several attractions including the St. George's Basilica and the Royal Castle of Hradcany – many of which you will spot during your included sightseeing tours.
