Smart Tours and GCT are American companies. Ignoring the existence of Central Europe seems to be an American habit.
In addition to the Australian and UK companies I already posted, see: http://travel.saga.co.uk/holidays/ri...FB&duration=15

I guess you missed BigRuss' post:
"It IS Central Europe - if locals call it "Eastern" it's for the same reason outsiders may - Cold War alignments that have become geographic shorthands."
So it is reversion not evolution.

Yes I missed the post Re
ig Russ. I live on the EAST coast and I don't give a hoot if they call it the east or some other name. I NEVER thought of the Europeans taking offense to the cold war and that is why they did not like it. Never I only thought of it as a geographical issue. Well from now on I will refrain from calling those cities Eastern. I should know this as DH is Hungarian. He left at age 5--though with family.
