What is a definite departure?
A departure is shown as 'Definite Departure' once it has reached a minimum number of guests. That particular departure will definitely run, barring any extraordinary circumstances. We update these regularly, and you can book any departure. While it is highly unlikely a departure doesn't meet the minimum number of guests, you will be offered the best alternative dates or a full refund of any payment made if this is the case.

Head East
The countries usually considered to be Central and Eastern European include Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland, and Switzerland, to name but a few. A coach tour through Central and Eastern Europe can take you to some of these truly fascinating destinations, places so magical and charming they will stay with you forever. Start with Munich, the capital of the German state of Bavaria. This flourishing city is known for its annual Oktoberfest celebration and fantastic art galleries and museums. Enjoy the rapturous atmosphere of a typical beer hall or garden and enjoy the culinary delights of Bavarian food which goes down exceptionally well with a traditional beer or two.
Viennese Whirl
A few hours over the border you will find the enchanting country of Austria. Who could resist the sheer wonder of Vienna, Austria’s capital and renowned for its grand Baroque beauty and imperial palaces. Take a guided tour and learn more about Vienna’s compelling musical and artistic heritage, be enthralled by a typical Viennese evening with spellbinding classical music, and indulge yourself with apple strudel and Sachertorte chocolate in a delightful coffee house. From one beautiful capital to another, travel further down to South East Europe to arrive at Budapest, the breath taking capital of Hungary. This historic city, often referred to as the 'Pearl of the Danube', is made up of two very different halves sitting either side of the Danube River. The historic Buda side with its hilly terrain and medieval architecture contrasts sharply with the flat plains and more commercial centre of Pest on the other side.
After The Wall Came Down
You’ll feel like you’ve landed in a fairy-tale when you reach Prague. The captivating capital of the Czech Republic is a remarkable example of pure magic come to life. Prague’s extraordinary architecture and warm and friendly atmosphere makes it a perfect destination for the culturist and fun loving alike. To the west of the Czech Republic you will find Slovakia, both of which used to be Czechoslovakia. Take your coach journey to the charming capital, Bratislava, and wander the cobbled streets while being surrounded by entrancing beauty at every turn. Slovakia should not be confused with Slovenia, another gem of a country which lies between Austria and Croatia and was once part of the old Yugoslavia! On a much smaller scale, Slovenia has stunning landscapes with Alpine peaks and contrasting Mediterranean beaches to compensate. Croatia was also once part of Yugoslavia, again being blessed with sun-kissed beaches and the clear blue Adriatic Sea. Travel to Dubrovnik, a gorgeous ancient walled city in southern Croatia, known for its distinctive Old Town. Walk around the magnificent city walls and take in the spectacular views, or for ‘Game of Thrones’ fans, join a guided tour and find out where and how this famous show is filmed. For a real cultural experience you can’t go far wrong with a trip to Kraków, a beautiful city in southern Poland known for its Jewish quarter and well-preserved medieval buildings. The Wieliczka Salt Mine is a must see, being both a compelling monument and an art gallery where you will find historical tunnels, chambers, chapels and sculptures carved from the salt rock walls.
From Kraków to Cuckoo
The Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps can be found 50 kilometres west of Kraków in the small town of Oswiecim - a chilling reminder of the Holocaust and a very humbling experience. In the month of December, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe are truly magical places to visit because of the many charming Christmas Markets in abundance at this time of year. As you can imagine, a trip to Switzerland when the lights are twinkling and the bells are ringing is hard to beat. Situated in the heart of Central Europe, this glorious country is home to alpine peaks and majestic glaciers, rolling valleys and shimmering lakes. Indulge yourself with the finest Swiss chocolate, sample their exquisite cheese fondue and take home an authentic Swiss watch as a parting gift.

Eastern Europe — Tour Highlights and Travel Tips
Encompassing a huge swath of the continent, from the Baltic states in the north to beaches of the Black Sea in the south, holidays to Eastern Europe are as diverse as they are spectacular. From the Transylvanian castles of Romania to Mostar’s famed medieval bridge, a trip to Eastern Europe offers a wealth of attractions.
Tour Highlights
- Wonder at the magnificent ancient architecture of Krakow , Poland ’s former royal capital, including the soaring heights of St Mary’s Basilica, the simply stunning sixteenth-century Cloth Hall, and Wawel Castle, one of Poland’s largest.
- Hike across Slovakia ’s High Tatras Mountains, through unspoiled landscapes of crystal-clear mountain lakes, alpine pasture, and 2,500 m peaks in summer, or ski the same slopes in winter.
- Take a tour of the impressive gothic grandeur of Budapest’s Parliament building, taking in the most lavish of its 691 Danube-side rooms, and gaze upon the crown of Saint Stephen, the first king of Hungary.
- Relax on the surprisingly-fine palm-lined Black Sea beach resorts of Bulgaria , or soak up the sun on the untamed sands of the Istrian coast of Croatia before heading out on an Adriatic cruise.
- Stroll through the grand halls and secret passages of Bran Castle in Romania’s Transylvania region, best known to the world as Dracula’s Castle, a fairy-tale hill-top fortress offering amazing panoramic views across the Carpathian Mountains.
- Head to Riga , the capital of Latvia and delve beneath its reserved exterior to discover a friendly and vibrant city full of art nouveau buildings, modern gallery spaces, and ever-growing food culture.
Travel Tips
- Although Eastern Europe is home to a huge number of languages, English is widely-spoken, particularly by the younger generations who were brought up after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
- Much of Eastern Europe remains a cash society, so make sure you carry plenty of banknotes with you. Try and avoid receiving larger notes, for example when changing money from your home currency, as they can be difficult to break.
- ATMs can now be readily found throughout the region, taking away much of the stress of carrying large quantities of money with you. If you do decide to make use of them, avoid the option of converting the price into your home currency as this can add a huge amount to your bill.
- Much of Eastern Europe is conservative and deeply religious. Avoid inadvertently offending residents by being careful of what you are wearing, especially if you are intending to enter a church or mosque.
- Don’t be afraid to haggle! Though museums and most stores will have set prices, there’s plenty of opportunities to have a little fun haggling with taxi drivers and market stall holders, though do understand these guys need to make a living too.
