Bought a tour of the Austrian miracle. Within a week it was canceled, a replacement was offered. We agreed on the Perfect Trio:
Prague, Munich, Salzburg, Vienna!

Traveled in October from 14 to 20 2018. I will not describe the city. They are great. Go and see for yourself. I just want to comment on the organization of the trip.
I'm not a thread, I always focus on the positive. That's why I'll start with the positive.
We were lucky with the weather. October seemed warm, dry, cloudless.
Hotels in general at 4. It was very bad in Prague, and were just wonderful in Kotovica and near Salzburg. And they were all clean. The rest is not so important for such a trip. Breakfasts are good. They were never hungry.
The bus we boarded after crossing the border in Poland was quite comfortable.
Mostly interesting guides who conducted sightseeing tours. I especially want to mention Stanislav in Krakow and Tatiana in Salzburg. Thank you!
And now the remarks.
The drivers seemed to be driving along the route for the first time, sometimes circling twice as they drove onto the right route. However, they drove the bus very carefully, it was comfortable to ride. Going to Prague, they chose the path that was blocked. Constant traffic jams. We did not have a navigator with us, but other tourists said that there was another road, which according to the data was free to pass. Healed for many hours. We arrived in Prague in the evening. Sightseeing tour, plus an hour and a half of free time in the dark transfer to the bus).
Now in detail: when we were in constant traffic jams and people were getting nervous, then, of course, began to ask the escort of the group why this road, if it was clear that it is not the best and all in traffic jams, etc. was that this road is the shortest on the maps. And when there was a phrase from tourists that we in Prague do not encourage at all, the leader of the group said "Yes, what are you boiling!". Everyone was shocked.
A boat trip on the river no ...
The guide said something boring, no one listened to her. Nothing special from the ship could not be considered. Although the dinner offered was delicious. If you go on a boat to have dinner, you can find something more interesting in the city with this money. In general, I do not recommend a boat trip on the Vltava (31 € / 23 €).
It is good that on the second day we did not sign up for any excursions and spent the day in Prague - it was the best day of our trip!
We arrived in Munich around 12. Until 13.30 sightseeing tour and then we went on a tour "Fantasies of King Ludwig" (48 € + entrance tickets). We chose the only castle for the whole trip. 5 hours one way ... So, when planning this tour, you should understand that you are adding another 5 hours by bus! .... Here we were waiting for the BEST DISAPPOINTMENT of the tour! at 16.20.All!
We didn't see anything, we couldn't enter the territory of the complex. Of course we couldn't get inside, we couldn't see the rooms. We didn't even see that picturesque bridge .. NOTHING! We just walked around for 2 hours. ). And the hour was not to return.
They returned to Munich late. We had a little over an hour before leaving for the hotel. We walked a little center and that's it. We got on the bus and went to Salzburg. YES, EVERYONE WENT TO SALZBURG, although the next day was to be held in Munich. But this is a separate story. Count on the day we spent 1.5 hours on a sightseeing tour in Munich, 2 hours walking in the woods around the castle and spent an hour at night in Munich. All the last time on the bus !!! Very interesting and productive day.
A separate story about the accompanying group. Igor Samets. As for me ... a person is out of place. The very phrase "What are you boiling?
"," wonderful "organization of a trip to the castle (what, you could not check in advance to which he works ?!) ... he could not calculate in advance other situations, although it was in his power.
There were no videos on the bus and almost no comments about where we were going, what we saw ...
His presence did not adorn our trip at all. In short, our escort was no. If I had chosen to travel with Accord again and I had to go with Igor again, I would have been upset.
The general impression is not bad. This is a certain experience. And I'm grateful for him.
