Michelle and Rachel

GLOBUS Best of Eastern Europe

Their adventure begins and ends in Berlin and encompasses Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic. At the time of writing, no visas are required for US passport holders to visit any of the countries included in this tour. Michelle raved about their hotel on the Friedrichstrasse. “It was perfectly located—they were within walking distance of Checkpoint Charlie and the Brandenburg gate, and Berlin is such a vibrant city and perfectly safe to explore at night.”

The tour took them to the ruins of Auschwitz and to Warsaw. Our clients opted to take the evening dinner cruise on the Danube and described it as magical – the sunset and lights of the two towns, Buda and Pest, reflected on the waters were just awe inspiring.  They saw several sites including St Stephens Cathedral, Zwinger Palace, Telc, a UNESCO World Heritage Site,  Semper Opera, and more! 

"I cannot say enough about the tour itself—the quality of the GLOBUS staff was exceptional; from the tour director to each of the local guides, they were top-notch. The tour was well paced, giving us enough free time. Michelle commented that she did not sign up for many of the optional tours in advance, being not sure what to expect, but once she realized the quality and opportunities those tours afforded, she and her daughter participated in many of them. Michelle acknowledged the skill of the tour director, Werner, who was with the group for the entire tour. He immediately commanded respect from the group, who all consistently honored his request to be punctual and timely. The tour members were so considerate of the others in the group, and no one was ever kept waiting. Michelle continued, “The guides were so knowledgeable, the local guides in particular were impressive in the depth of their knowledge, and there wasn’t one question that they could not answer.” “The hotels were all magnificent, centrally located, close to everything, and in safe, comfortable areas. We felt perfectly safe walking alone in the evening.”
