So, in July last year, my wife and I went on this tour.
All in order:
The head of the group, Alexander Shvidkoy, gave excellent information, solved a rather complicated problem together with the drivers (after Vienna, my temperature soared to almost 39 degrees, they made an unplanned stop, and something happened to another tourist in the same Vienna, and they went to clinic. They returned healthy, which is the most important thing.)
Hotels are surprisingly good. One of them was 4 star business class. Food - the usual, where more, where less. One of the Italian hotels was remembered for the abundance of pastries. In general, the hotels are good.
The guides are charismatic, with a few exceptions :) I would like to note the excellent guides in Pisa and Krakow. The rest are a little less memorable.
As for the bus... It didn't break down, it was pretty clean, but still not new, definitely. I would like more distance between the seats, but this is most likely to the manufacturer Setra. The ventilation worked correctly. By the way, maybe it will be useful for someone: during the day the heat is unbearable, and at night we stretch a blanket.
Another useful information: if you are considering whether to buy a tour with a night crossing or pay extra for a tour without them, do not hesitate to take it without night crossings. After the second, largest move, the legs of half of the tourists swollen not like a child, including me. I had to walk around Vienna with unbuttoned shoes.
And now the cons:
Perhaps the main disadvantage is the late arrivals at the hotel. At least 23 hours, and most often at midnight or after midnight. Once they were even looking for a hotel, turning circles. Of course, this can happen to every driver. But given the two overnight journeys and an early rise....
Well, the bus mentioned above, although this is not such a serious drawback. There were also standing on the border, it happens.
I advise you to watch tours without night crossings - you need to take care of your health. I hope my review was helpful, good luck everyone!
