Satisfied with the trip

I would like to share my impressions about the Accord Super Blitz tour (Krakow - Prague - Munich - Vienna - Budapest), 24 - 28.07.2018. I’ll make a reservation right away, this was our first trip abroad and I was pretty nervous in advance because of border control, and my attitude to sightseeing trips was biased. But apparently, in response to my bias, we got lucky. First of all, with a guide, because it is the whole core of the trip. Oleg Dilny is a very organized, calm and erudite person. At the entrance to each country, he talks for a long time about local sights, history and customs, he is well oriented in all cities. There were never any problems with meeting places, check-in at the hotel took place within 10 minutes.

Now about the route.

The first day turned out to be difficult, because, despite a tolerable crossing of the Polish border (about 2.5 hours) and gaiting around Krakow, we arrived in Prague late at night, at 3.30. It was perhaps the most difficult transition. But the Abito Hotel in Prague exceeded all expectations in terms of comfort and quality of breakfast and was a reward for a long journey. And the city itself shook to the core. This was followed by quite comfortable transfers to Munich, Vienna (with an overnight stay in Salburg) and Budapest. We were also pleased with the hotels in Munich and Salzburg. Excursions at all points (except, perhaps, Vienna, where the guide did not find a common language with the group) were carried out at a height. Of the optional must-see excursions, these are boat trips in Prague (with lunch, which is important, because in Prague in the center everything is still very expensive, unlike Munich) and along the Danube in Budapest (the city wins a lot in the evening illumination and there is simply nowhere to go there in the evening, before checking into a hotel). Plus, this is a very pleasant and convenient way to see these cities in all their glory, given that a part-time day is still not enough for their full inspection.

So, despite the small difficulties, our trip was a success! Maybe just lucky with a good guide.

All read reviews about the Accord, of course, scare. Some tourists from our group faced with a sudden replacement of tours on less favorable terms. There are a lot of tours, but there are not enough good transport and experienced guides for all the declared tours, the case decides here.
