But when planning our trip (to Prague, Vienna, and Budapest), their prices were far lower than anything I could put together myself, even using hostels!
For 3 cities/different countries, 11 nights, flying DC to Prague and Budapest back to DC, 3-4 star hotels, breakfasts included at all, we paid $1,800/person, including tax. Also, we traveled during Christmas/New Years, so it was a more expensive time. Their maps make it very easy to pick hotels in ideal locations (definitely research what area you want to stay in ahead of time, the cheaper hotels are FAR away), we were within 1 block from the metro in each city and walking distance to all major sites. They sent us our train tickets well in advance, and our hotels were awesome!
My parents also did an Italy trip through them, went to Venice, Florence, and Rome. They also got a great deal and were very happy with everything.
We absolutely loved our trip with them (we actually got engaged the second night of the trip!), and the price was incredible. We're constantly searching their website now, trying to plan our next trip:) I don't think my fiance would go back to Europe again without booking through them! Thanks so much for getting back to me. My fiance had read some reviews, and people were also saying good things about it (also noted the downfall that cheaper hotels are either far away or not in nice areas). But it really does sound very reasonable, especially given that you can travel to multiple cities/countries in Europe! I have never been over there so I really don't know what the best ways are to book, and this site seemed really easy to use and a great way to see a variety of destinations. I think we will definitely look into it, for our honeymoon.
It sounds like you have been quite the traveler! Any good suggestions are areas to visit? We are getting married in Mexico so won't need to be "relaxing," necessarily, on our honeymoon. Anywhere that you would stick out for you as "must visits"?
Thanks!
