What travelers are saying

"I would steer clear of Backroads until Covid is over. We were on the Costa Rica tour when a fellow traveler tested positive. The guides refused to require that all travelers and staff wear masks or be tested. They kept repeating that they were following CDC guidelines, but this was not the case. CDC guidelines state that after an exposure, one should wear a tight fitting mask for 10 days when interacting with anyone and should be tested starting 5 days after exposure. Our group of six was appalled by their policy and left the tour returning to the US. Also be aware that their biking equipment was very substandard. We were riding in the rain with bikes that were difficult to stop on steep slopes, as they were not equipped with disc brakes. They also were not equipped with mirrors or lights. The front derailleurs were also very poorly adjusted as most of the riders threw their chains during the ride. Meals and the hotel were very good. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/quarantine-isolation.html Two calls to Backroads have not been returned."

What travelers are saying

"DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. I booked my spring break trip with them as well as another trip in April. I was sent home from my study abroad program in Florence due to the COVID-19 outbreak and am now unable to go on the trips. When I first tried to cancel, they refused to refund any of the money I spent. Their cancelation policy was very unclear and they refuse to take responsibility. They stated they are unable to give back refunds on multi bookings, which they did not inform me of when I went into their office or when I booked my trips. I think this it is very unethical it is clear costumers do not come first to them, money does. They then offered a 50% refund, which is not acceptable to me. I spent over a thousand dollars with this company and receiving $524 as a refund is nowhere near enough. I am very frustrated and disappointed, this company obviously does not care about its costumers. I will be sure to share my experience with others to prevent them from going through the same thing. I would recommend BOOK WITH SMART TRIPS, they actually give back full refunds for trips."

Eastern Europe Tour Selection Trips

  • Plan well in advance to obtain any necessary visas or other travel documents for countries that require them.
  • With more than 20 countries to cover, Eastern Europe can be the focus of numerous tours; it may help to separate them into geographic categories.
  • A number of Eastern European countries, including Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, can be visited via Danube river cruises.
  • The three Baltic nations (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) make for a compact but sight-filled tour destination.
  • Consider a Balkans tour of some of the former Yugoslav states: Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, and Montenegro.
  • The East Central European nations of Hungary and the Czech Republic are both very popular, but don’t overlook neighboring Poland and Slovakia.
  • Russia, the largest nation of Eastern Europe, is a trip unto itself.

Additional details

Who will enjoy traveling in Eastern Europe?

Each Eastern European country has something to offer every traveler regardless of age or mobility level. A traveler looking forward to lots of physical activity can delight in the abundance of natural wonders present in Eastern Europe’s diverse ecosystem. Go hiking through one of the many national parks, do water sports along the southern coast, or explore ancient underground caves.

For a more relaxed visit, take in the traditional squares central to many major cities, and enjoy the unique culinary landscape of each country. The culturally minded can soak in the ancient history of the dozens of churches and cathedrals across the region. No matter your vision, Eastern Europe has something for you.

When is the best time to visit Eastern Europe?

Eastern Europe’s tourism season is from May through September, with July and August being the peak months. For a summer visit that avoids the largest of the crowds, plan to visit in May or June. Travelers may also want to visit in September or October, although the weather will be cooler and the hours of attractions may be limited.

Be sure to check the hours of your top attractions before planning a trip in the off-season. The winter months are, of course, the best for snow sports, but areas outside of mountain ranges tend to shut down for the season so don’t plan your visit for the winter if you won’t be doing winter sports.

Common Eastern Europe Tour Routes

Eastern European tours range from multi-week tours that travel to most of the countries in the region, to shorter tours that focus on just a couple countries. Spend a month traveling all the way from Greece to Amsterdam along an Eastern European route, spend two weeks exploring Croatia and Slovenia, or spend a week just discovering Albania.

Many travelers choose to cruise down the Danube River in order to visit eight Eastern European countries it travels through without straying from one route. Eastern European tours often stick to one region such as the Balkans or the Baltics, so it is helpful to decide which regions you would like to visit while choosing your tour.

Is Eastern Europe Safe?

Eastern Europe is as safe as most developed countries. If you use good judgement while traveling, you won’t likely find yourself in a dangerous situation. Some common sense tips include keeping your valuables close, don’t pay bribes to government officials, stay on established hiking paths, and only ride in taxis with working meters.
