Single 30's looking for tour
 
Hey all,
I am a female early thirty female looking to travel part of Europe. I have done a good deal of traveling, some of it alone. At this point, I am not looking to do it alone. Problem is, I do not have a significant other or friends who can take off the time I want. I am looking to travel for about 3 weeks hitting Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. I found a great group on Intrepid that goes from Berlin to Venice, hitting the key spots I want. I am looking for feedback on if these tours are worth it. The idea of hotels/hostels and transportation planned is most appealing. Although some places are shorter stays than what I might wants, eliminating planning stress seems worth it(?) to me. Does anyone have feedback on an Intrepid tour? I want to see sights and have a good time. I don't like to call it a day after tour. I would love to be on a group that likes to be active and explore the city during the day and go out at night. Not until the wee hours, but at least go see local pubs and maybe catch some music. If anyone has info, please let me know.

Thanks!!! Any and all feedback is much appreciated.

Have you looked at the location of the hotels? Esp if you want to go out at night a central location is a really good idea. And one 30 minutes from the center and having to find a cab is a major PIA.

Also - how do you feel about 7 am starts - and being on the bus at 8 am every day?

could you give us a link to the tour? That would help.

. . . and is there a reason you tagged this for Poland -- you don't mention it in your post?

It says you get 2 days in 7 different cities and 1 day in Chesky Krumlov . . . but you don't since all the inter-city eats up a lot of your time.

Be aware that it takes three nights in a place to get two full days. You don't have that much time in any of the places on this tour. If I was interested in visiting any of these places, I certainly wouldn't take that tour.

I don't take tours, but I have a friend who sometimes does. She says that Intrepid has different types of tours, and you may be able to find one that visits perhaps three or four places in the same amount of time.
