What will my days look like?

Days are full. Most start with breakfast, then the main sights with a local guide or your tour leader. Afternoons often leave free time to wander, stop for a coffee or join an optional extra. Expect a fair amount of walking: some days mean two or three hours on your feet, so bring comfortable shoes.

Who will I be travelling with?

Travellers from all over the world, of different ages and backgrounds, who share a wish to see more. This tour runs as a small group of up to 14, and most people know each other’s names within a few days.

What are the hotels like?

Mostly 3 and 4 star, all clean, comfortable and well located, with private en-suite bathrooms. They are chosen so you sleep well and are ready for the next day. The destinations come first, but the hotels are never an afterthought.

How active is this tour?

You carry your own luggage, sometimes up hotel stairs. Some walking tours run for up to three hours, and a few sites have plenty of steps. The itinerary and the activity level at the top of this page show whether the pace suits you.

How do optional extras work?

Optional extras run in the tour’s free time, and your tour leader tells you what is on offer as the tour goes. Some are booked with your tour leader on the day. Others sell in advance and must be bought before the tour starts: to add one of those, mention it in your booking notes and we confirm it with your seats. Each extra in the Optional extras section says which way it is booked.

Will I have time to explore on my own?

Yes. The itinerary builds in free time to wander at your own pace, and your tour leader can point you to the places that suit you, so you are never left to work it all out alone.

What support do I have while I’m on tour?

Your tour leader travels with you from start to finish. They know the places most visitors miss, can suggest a restaurant before you ask, and deal with whatever crops up on the way. Transport and hotels are all arranged for you. There is also an emergency number staffed 24 hours a day, and our team in Dubai is there to help.

How do I book Central & Eastern Europe Explorer?

We hold your seats and email your booking reference straight away; you then add each traveller as their passport shows on your booking page.

Once the tour operator confirms your seats. We email you a secure payment link for the total in AED, and your booking is complete when it is paid. To pay in instalments, say so in your booking notes.

Is the price per person?

Yes. Prices are per person sharing a double or twin room. Travelling alone? A single room costs the supplement shown next to each date.

Are flights included?

Only when the tour lists them under what is included. We can book flights from the UAE to the start city and home from the end city with your tour.

That depends on your passport and the countries on the route. Our visa team arranges Schengen and other visas for UAE residents, and can apply for yours once the tour is booked.

Good to know

Practical details to read before you travel.

Passport & visas
Every country on this tour, Germany, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, is in the Schengen area, so one Schengen visa covers the whole trip.
UAE passport holders don’t need a visa for stays of up to 90 days, but will need the EU’s new ETIAS travel authorisation once it starts: we can tell you where it stands when you book. Most other nationalities living in the UAE need a Schengen visa. You can apply up to six months before you travel, and appointments in Dubai fill up quickly before the summer, so start early.
Your passport must be valid for at least three months after you leave the Schengen area, have been issued within the last ten years and have two blank pages, and your UAE residence visa must be valid for at least three months after you return. Our visa team handles Schengen applications: ask us when you book.
Flights and timings
Flights to and from Munich aren’t included.
Day 1 starts at your hotel in Munich, where you check in from 10:00. The regular itinerary is entirely by coach. The tour ends in Munich after breakfast on day 15, at the same hotel, by around 10:00.
Our team can book your flights from Dubai to match.
Meals and dietary needs
Fourteen breakfasts, two lunches and five dinners are included, with vegetarian options available on request for every meal.
Tell us about any dietary needs, halal included, when you book, and we pass them on before the tour.
Money
This tour crosses several currencies: the euro in Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Italy, the Swiss franc in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, the Hungarian forint in Hungary, and the Czech koruna in the Czech Republic. Cards are widely accepted, and a card without foreign transaction fees is the easiest way to pay across most of the route.
Optional extras booked on tour are paid to your tour leader in cash or by card, in the currency shown.
Weather and packing
Departures run in May, June, August and September: warm summer weather in Italy and the Alpine valleys, with cooler air and a chance of rain higher up on the mountain drive.
Pack layers you can add and remove, comfortable shoes for the daily walking tours, and a light rain jacket. Modest clothing, shoulders and knees covered, is worth having for visits to churches and abbeys such as Melk.
The Jungfraujoch excursion
If you book the optional trip to Jungfraujoch, dress warmly even in summer: the station sits at around 3,450 metres, and it stays cold with snow on the ground year-round. Take the visit at an easy pace, and speak to your doctor beforehand if you have a heart or breathing condition.

Plan your trip

Our Dubai team arranges what goes around the tour, so it is booked in one place.

Visas
One Schengen visa covers the Schengen countries on this route. Our visa team in Dubai applies for UAE residents once the tour is booked.
