Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

The historic cultural hubs and colorful folklore of Bohemia take center stage on this 15-day encounter with Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria and the Czech Republic. You’ll witness the triumph of the human spirit, explore the medieval history of enchanting towns, and uncover myths and legends of this multicultural crossroads.

  1. Day 1
    Arrive Frankfurt
    Don’t let the glass and steel skyscrapers deceive you. At its heart, Frankfurt’s high-powered business hub communes with a warm medieval center where half-timbered buildings and tiny taverns line cobbled lanes and the aroma of apple cider lingers around every turn. Here ‘Mainhattan’ meets medieval charm. This afternoon, your Travel Director will lead an orientation tour around the city’s dynamic financial center and medieval Römerberg. See the Römer, which has served as Frankfurt’s city hall since the 15th century and admire the architecture that has been lovingly restored after World War II.
  2. Day 2
    Frankfurt – Berlin
    Leaving the high-rises behind, you’ll journey across the North German Plain to the dynamic and energetic capital that is Berlin. This bold capital wears its grittiness for all to see – edgy street art adorns the city’s ever-evolving façades and street food markets reveal a cosmopolitan line-up of cultures and cuisines that make Berlin an exhilaratingly diverse city to explore. Consider this evening to join an Optional Experience with good food, wine, beer and music followed by a twilight tour of some of Berlin's beautiful illuminations.Accommodation: Amber Econtel Charlottenburg

You could even choose to venture beyond the city for a dinner of German specialties in the countryside.Accommodation: Amber Econtel Charlottenburg
    Meals:   Breakfast

Our Guide was exceptional. The Drivers where amazing always on time, providing help when needed

The trip overall was great and I learned a lot about the history of that part of the world. What was unexpected was that the Ibis Hotels we stayed in lacked the amenities of hotels I've stayed in on previous tours. Ibis didn't even have a refrigerator in their rooms. I've given this feedback with the Costsavertour survey and reached out to Ibis Hotels through social media.

Some of the hotels were not appropriate for elderly. Didn’t have appropriate ramps for the luggage’s to be carry to the hotels. Which the tour guide nor the driver help to assist.

As usual some hotel accommodations were suspect but other than that trip met expectations.

Fantastic tour packed full of unique and memorable experiences!!

This trip had a great itinerary.

The cruise director: Craig is the best director ever experience in a trip like this. And the driver the most experience in this type. ( To both Thank you very much for the great vacation ever.)

I purchased this trip for my 18-year-old granddaughter, who went on the trip by herself. She was extremely happy with all aspects of the trip. I particularly want to thank Dana with Affordable Tours, who was contacted by my daughter on the day of departure (my daughter was monitoring my granddaughter's departure and return from Germany to her home airport of Newark, as well as serving as the more travel-savvy point person during the trip itself). Apparently, various difficulties resulted in a cancellation of the return flight, which would have demanded a 22 hour delay. My granddaughter would have been stranded without a hotel or specific plan. She called my daughter, who contacted Dana either late at night or early in the morning. Dana personally used her connections to set up a return flight for Eowyn within two hours. I only learned about this today, as neither my granddaughter or daughter wanted me to fall apart over this....what was important is that quick, professional, personal service was available. That alone will make Affordable Tours the option I will pursue to future travel plans both for myself and for other members of my family. Thank you, Dana. We are indescribably grateful for your reassurance and help.

It was a wonderful trip in all aspects. Excellent customer service while booking and excellent tour guide.

Did have problems with a/c with some hotels. Otherwise all hotel rooms were nice rooms. Some had coffee available others had nothing. Not one hotel offer any ice buckets. Not much room to layout large baggage. Some hotels only offer one pillow. One hotel had some really bad towels. I believe all hotels on any tour should always include breakfast. I would recommend that all hotels on any tour to provide coffee in every room along with a cold storage device.

We loved the tour. The tour Director was excellent and the tour and hotels were great. I would definitely take another CostSaver tour.
