Itinerary
Get ready to leave the everyday behind and uncover extraordinary. Meet the gang in LDN-town, stock up on Pringles and pull out the AUX cord – we're hitting the road early for the City of Lights. The home of Coco Chanel, the Mona Lisa and the world’s best pastri...
This is your day, your way. So, make every second count. Create a solid dent in your bucket list with a visit to the Louvre (book your tickets in advance!) and the Musée d'Orsay. Flash some plastic along the Champs Elysées. Discover the hidden gems down Paris’s...
Don’t drink your vino out of a cask? You’re gonna love the next stop on our mega roadie. Bordeaux: where half the city is UNESCO World Heritage-listed and vineyards reign supreme. We’ll get our bearings around this 1200-year-old city with our expert Trip Leader...
Less hectic than its touristy big brother and way cooler (in our opinion) – today is your day to explore Bordeaux, your way. Need some suggestions? Explore la Cité du Vin: a wine-themed museum, ‘nough said. Arrange a day trip to St Emilion. Hunt down a local pa...
Peer out the window as we roll through the vineyard-covered French Basque country into Spain. Unload the coach and get your bearings on an orientation tour of Bilbao. DW our in-the-know Trip Leader will point out the best pintxos places along the way. Then the ...
Onwards to the capital of Catalonia. Bienvenidos to the city of art nouveau, sexy accents and (most importantly) tapas. Get a feel for Barça on a driving tour – ticking of the likes of Olympic Park, Plaza Espanya, the National Museum and Montjuïc Hill. Then: ti...
Time to do your own spontaneous-this-is-what-I-came-for thing, amigos. But if you need some suggestions, we’ve got your back. Park Güell and Sagrada Familia are straight-up must-sees. BUT don’t think you can just stroll up in there – you’re gonna need to book t...
There’s no way you’d be able to fit everything in with just 24 hrs – so, here’s another day to do whatever YOU want. Thank us later. Organise a stadium tour of Camp Nou (home to one of the greatest teams in soccer history, just sayin’). Arm yourself with snacks...
Start practising your bonjours and s’il vous plaît’s as we follow the Mediterranean coast to the glamorous French Riviera. After dumping your stuff and getting the run about town with our Trip Leader, the rest of the afternoon is up to you! Indulge in a bit of ...
This morning, you do you. Sleep in. Laze on the beach. Go wild in the designer boutiques in Nice's Old Town. Try all the decorative pastries your elastic waistband can handle – then work them off with a walk up Castle Hill for alll the views. Later: roll with t...
Rise and shine. Down your coffee. And wave au revoir to France – we’ll be trading ritz and glitz for snowy peaks as we head to the mountains. Home to the ‘Top of Europe’, 72 waterfalls and one of the largest nature conservations in Switzerland – tonight we're b...
Wake to the sounds of rushing waterfalls and Swiss birds chirping (they’re like normal birds – but better). You’re finally here. So, don’t waste a second. Hiking. Biking. Skydiving. Helicopter-ing. This place has it all. Prefer to stay grounded? Slip on the Bir...
Buy that fondue set for mum and take one last wistful glance at the Alps – we’re hitting the frog and toad after breakfast. First stop: Pisa. Think of a creative pose for THAT photo (please). Then, make your food baby sing as we roll into the capital of Tuscan ...
Florence has more stories than you can poke a stick at, more culture than a Fitzroy hipster AND it gave the world gelato – praise be. We’ll get the lay of the land on an in-depth walking tour with a local guide. Then: take your new-found knowledge and hit the s...
Onwards! First: a pit stop at the hilltop town of Orvieto to see the grand cathedral and dig into a wild boar panini (unless you’re a vegetarian, sorry). Then: bella Roma awaits. Strap on your Nikes, fill up your water bottle and pack your anti-chafing cream – ...
You’ve got 24 hours to live out all your Lizzie McGuire Movie fantasies. Get out there and do your own, spontaneous, this-is-what-you-came-for thing. But if you need some ideas, we’ve got your back. Opt to see the glory that is the Vatican City on a guided tour...
No lies – we have a long drive. Now is the chance to share snaps with your new mates, catch up on some zzzzs and text the 'rents (trust us, you'll be too busy later). We'll park up later in Venice – home to over 400 bridges and birthplace of Vivaldi. Tonight, this beautifully romantic city is yours for the taking.
Meals: Breakfast
You know it as the Floating City, but this place is actually sinking (slowly). Acquaint yourself with the usual suspects on a walking tour – ticking off the likes of St Mark's Square, Doge’s Palace and Accademia Bridge. Then make like Dora and get exploring! Ne...
Truth bomb alert: you’ve got a bit of a drive from Venice to Ancona today (where we’ll swap the coach for a ferry). BUT once we’re on board you’re gonna have a quad room with an en suite for the ride. Plus you’ve got your awesome AF trip mates to keep you entertained. And when you wake up? You’re in Greece – heck, yes!
Meals: Breakfast
Spartans, assemble. We’ll dock at Patras and roll on to the ancient capital of Athens. Tick off your ancient (and not-so-ancient) must-sees today on a driving tour. The Museum of the City of Athens. Hotel Grand Bretagne. National Garden. Hadrian’s Arch. Temple ...
This morning’s an early one – but it’s going to be oh-so-worth it! If Athens invented democracy, Mykonos pioneered the beach party that followed. Take a wander to the windmills, check out the white-washed shopfronts of Old Town, and make a mental note of all th...
Sore head this morning? DW we’ve got the cure – a free day lazing on Mykonos’ sun-soaked beaches. If you’re up for it, why not arrange a trip to Delos Island to check out the birthplace of the sun god Apollo. Or head to Giora’s Wood Medieval Bakery for pastries that legit melt in your mouth. You’ve got 48 hours on paradise – make the most of it!
Meals:
Swim. Souvlaki. Siesta. Swim again. Today is 100% up to you. Have you checked out Paradise Beach by day? Take the short hike from Platis Gialos along the south coast of the island. The views are worth the sweaty back. Trust us. Then cool down with a dip or hire a paddleboard. This is your last night here, so gather the gang for gyros and bíras on the beachfront.
Meals:
Whip out your camera and snap one last pic – we’ll be back in Athens before you know it! You’ve got free time this afternoon to do your own thing. Our suggestion? Check out the Byzantine churches in Plaka or hit up the flea markets in Monastiraki. After stuffin...
Suffer from acrophobia? Better keep your eyes closed for this one. Today we’re leaving Athens behind to visit the monasteries of Meteora – perched high atop the nail-biting cliffs of Thessaly. If you’re interested, pay the entrance for the Grand or Varlaam Mona...
What happens when you paint a former communist capital in vivid colours? According to Tirana's artist-turned-mayor-turned-TED speaker Edi Rama, people start paying taxes and crime rates plummet. True story. Say hello to our local guide when we tick off the main...
Press your nose to the window and soak up all the stunning views racing past the coach window as we make our way to the most famous walled city in Europe. But first: a quick stop in Budva – the ‘Miami of Montenegro’. Three countries in one day? Only with us. Th...
Don’t be fooled. Dubrovnik is so much more than snapping a selfie on some steps. Although, you can totally get your fill of GOT with a Cersei-themed tour if that’s your thing. Rather take to the water? Sign up to a sea kayaking excursion – swim stops at the isl...
Shake the confetti from your hair – you’ve got another full day of exploring to do. Didn’t get round to ticking everything off your bucket list? Now’s your chance. If you’re feeling up to it, make the climb to Lovrijenac for the best views over Dubrovnik Old To...
Shake off the crowds of Dubrovnik in up-and-coming Sarajevo – a city that’s leaving its tragic past behind. But first: a quick stop in Mostar to see THAT bridge (and the Red Bull-style-bridge-jumpers). Then: we’ll roll into Sarajevo, where you’ve got some free ...
You wanted freedom to discover the unknown. So, this is your chance to explore one of Europe’s most underrated cities. First: we'll walk around the Sarajevo Museum, Gazi Husrev-Beg's Bezistan, the Latin Bridge and Sebilj Fountain with our local guide. Then: it’...
Say sayonara to Sarajevo after breakfast – we’re headed to the little slice of paradise known as Plitvice. Unless you’ve been living under an Instagram-less rock, you’ll recognise this place for its #wanderlust National Park, which is on the cards tomorrow. And...
Made up of 16 lakes connected by streams and waterfalls, and surrounded by 300 square kilometres of national park, Plitvice Lakes didn’t make it onto the UNESCO World Heritage list for nothing. You've got the whole morning to explore this maze of natural sereni...
Ljubljana Castle has been waiting for you since Celtic times – so don’t keep it waiting any longer. Later, we’ll jump aboard the coach for a family outing to Lake Bled. You’ve heard of this one, surely. Take a stroll around the glistening blue lake. Go for a re...
Our Ljubljana love affair was short but oh-so-sweet. Up next? The twin cities of Buda and Pest. We’ll be chauffeured past the Chain Bridge, Castle District, Gellert Hotel, Heroes’ Square and House of Terror on a driving tour of the city. Afterwards: free time t...
A free day to experience everything this firecracker of a city has to offer. Check out the Central Market Hall. Explore the Jewish Quarter. Play pinball at the Flippermúzeum. Hunt down the Anonymous Statue. Soak in the therapeutic waters of the Széchenyi Therma...
Legend has it a dragon had to be defeated in order for Kraków to be built. Game of Thrones, eat your heart out. Get acquainted with this gem of a city on a walking tour – complete with an introduction to its resident dragon. Then? Take Fleetwood's advice and go...
Here’s a free day we prepared earlier. Need some suggestions? Head to Hamsa in the heart of the Jewish Quarter for some 'Hummus and Happiness', shop for the ‘Gold of the Baltic’ in the UNESCO-listed Cloth Hall. Or do as the locals do and head to Okraglak for so...
Onwards to the spire-filled skyline and mysterious streets of Prague! Our Trip Leader will get us acquainted with this picture-perfect city – complete with quirky clock tower – and point out all the must-dos for our free day tomorrow. After hunting down some sm...
Another day done completely your way. Trust us, there’s plenty to Czech out (ha!). Seek out the John Lennon wall. Soak up some history at the Communist Museum. Take the funicular up Petrin Hill for all the views. Check out what the Dancing House is all about. O...
From one beer capital to the next. Get acquainted with 800-year-old Dresden – a city virtually destroyed in WWII and then rebuilt – before we make tracks to Berlin. Prep yourself for currywurst and more hipsters per capita than anywhere else. We'll drive you ar...
You’ve got 48 hrs here. Make the most of it. Our advice? Opt in for a historic walking tour that’s actually interesting. You’ll get a local insight into what the city was like under Nazi rule and tick off the likes of the Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie and Brand...
Didn’t tick everything off? We’ve got your back – here’s another day of freedom. Head to the Mauerpark markets for stalls filled with stuff you didn’t know you needed. Explore Museum Island. Take a ride in a Trabi and see why it’s Germany’s best-loved car. Or t...
Thinking of relocating? Today we’re going to find out why Copenhagen keeps popping up among the Top 5 Most Liveable Cities in the World. After a short ferry ride, we’ll tick off the likes of Tivoli Gardens, City Hall, Nyhavn and the National Musuem of Denmark o...
When in doubt, do as the locals do – hire a bike and explore this chilled-out Scandi city on two wheels. Spend some time wandering the waterfront in Nyhavn. Tuck into a smorgasbord of Nordic cuisine. Take a dip in the clean canals (clothing optional). Discover ...
