Markanddonna Posted August 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2022 We came across a perfect solution as we move around Europe. This company will take us from Prague to Budapest and stop onroute at three wonderful towns I was hoping to see anyway. It is like killing four birds with one inexpensive stone! Are you aware of any companies like this in other countries? The price is between $79- 89 pp, so reasonable? https://www.sidetriptours.com/ Prague to Budapest Leave from Prague at 08:00 Stop 1: Brno We arrive in Brno just in time for lunch. After enjoying a refreshing meal, discover the fascinating stories of the city and if you’re lucky, meet the Dragon of Brno. Read more Stop 2: Lednice Palace We have a chance to admire one of the former summer residences of the royalty of Liechtenstein, the Lednice Palace and Gardens. Stop 3: Bratislava We walk around the beautiful medieval Old Town of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Stop 4: Györ We stroll around the fairytale-like Baroque Old Town of Győr and discover its narrow streets and beautiful views.

Rare Hlitner Posted August 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2022 It sure looks like a fabulous idea for folks who like to be in a small tour group. Please post the result. While DW and I still prefer to rent our own car (gives us complete flexibility) I can see the wisdom of this concept. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted August 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2022 There is a similar service in the northwest for Belgium, Netherlands. It works best for a one way trip, with everything on-route. Your price seems like a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldubs Posted August 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Great idea and seems like a great price. We have a train booked from Porto to Lisbon. I have no idea if something like this exists for that route, but wish I had looked first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbwex Posted September 7, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 7, 2022 We have frequently used shoretrips.com with great success, though that domain now leads to Venture Ashore, so I don't know if they were bought out or what. We use almost exclusively private vendors, and have had great success looking on the Ports of Call section of CC, and reading a lot about each port. You cannot put too much faith in a single post, but if you read a lot of posts about a port, you will get a good feel for which companies provide the best services. I, for one, would appreciate hearing how your experience with sidetrips works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted September 7, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2022 We've been on many non-ship excursions that offered an excellent tour for a great price. Sure, some are better than others but we really have been lucky not to have a bad. one. A little research, especially on port of call boards, or your roll call, usually turns up some great options. This one looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
