The guided tour service begins with the start of the tour. It is not included during your additional accommodation period, free time, or on trains and other regular transportation that are part of the trip.
In many cities, according to local regulations, our tour guides are not allowed to provide commentary outside the bus. Therefore, the guide will give you tour information before you leave the bus, which you can refer to during your free time.

Europe experiences significant temperature differences between day and night, and temperatures above 30°C are uncommon for more than two months of the year.

Generally, we arrange for 4- to 5-star hotels in city centers, including breakfast, with convenient access to shopping and transportation (during exhibitions, festivals, and holidays, hotels may be arranged in suburban areas).

Please check at the hotel desk to see if you may store your luggage at the hotel if you wish to explore the city on your own before check-in.
