Editor’s Take
Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary. Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.
Eastern Europe tour reviews are nearly all positive, with only a handful of negative experiences. Remember that Eastern Europe tours vary greatly in terms of countries visited and travel type, so not all reviews will be relevant to your planned experience.
Negative reviews note unclear expectations for bike tours, and unexpected changes to cruise tours due to low water levels. If you decide to take a bike tour, be sure to read the tour details carefully to determine if you can manage the daily cycling distance.
Some reviewers also recommend you bring along your own GPS device just in case you become separated from the pack, especially on a self-guided bike tour. Reviewers also note that some bike tour paths went along busy highways. Make sure to choose tours with itineraries that match your comfort level.
Flexibility is important when choosing a Danube river cruise. Be aware that if water levels are low during your cruise, you may have to take a bus to get to your next destination.
Service levels vary depending on tour style, but the majority of Eastern Europe tours range from value to premium accommodations. Highlights of Eastern Europe tours include local knowledgeable tour guides, cultural immersion, and adequate time to explore each city. Eastern Europe is such an expansive area, taking a tour is the best way to experience the region in an efficient and immersive manner.
