Frequently asked questions

• What type of accommodation is provided on this tour?

  Accommodation on this tour is primarily in hostels (6 nights), with some rooms being multi-share (3 to 8 people). Some accommodations may include private rooms in local households. Most accommodations will have shared bathroom facilities and may not have air conditioning, but standing or desk fans can often be provided upon request.

• What is the typical group size and age range for this tour?

  The tour is designed for young and fun travellers aged 18 to 39. The maximum group size is 16 people.

• What transportation methods are used during the tour?

  We use local buses and ferries for intercity transport. Within cities and between hotels and transport terminals, we use a mix of metro (subway), local bus, taxis, and walking.

• Will I need to carry my own luggage?

  Yes, you should be prepared to carry your own bags for short distances (up to 20-30 minutes) between hotels and transport, and to lift them on and off buses and ferries. It is essential to pack light with compact, lightweight luggage due to limited storage space on public transport and potential stairs.

• Are meals included in the tour price?

  Generally, meals are not included in the trip price, allowing flexibility in choosing where and what to eat. However, a basic breakfast is provided where possible. Your CEO can suggest local dining options.

• What is the role of the CEO (Chief Experience Officer) and are local guides provided?

  A CEO accompanies the trip to manage logistics, provide information on places, suggest activities and eating venues. While they offer orientation walks, local guides are used for specific historical and cultural insights in particular cities, as CEOs are not legally permitted to provide full guiding in public places in Europe.

• What currency should I bring, and are credit cards accepted?

  Euros (EUR) are accepted everywhere. Credit and debit cards are useful for cash advances, but always bring your PIN (many ATMs accept 4-digit PINs). It's recommended to carry a combination of Euros and cards, as there's no guarantee your cards will work everywhere. Avoid exchanging currency at hotels as rates are usually poor; banks or Bureaux de Change offer better rates.

• How much emergency money should I have access to?

  It is recommended to have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an emergency fund for unforeseen circumstances.

• How does accommodation work for solo travellers?

  Single travellers on group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex, as trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement.

• Are there any recommended optional activities?

  Yes, optional activities include visiting attractions like Plitvice Lakes National Park (entrance included), Diocletian's Palace in Split (guided walk included), a day trip to Hvar, and various sights in Zagreb and Dubrovnik like city wall walks, sea kayaking, and museums. During high season, it's recommended to book popular optional activities in advance.

• What are the tipping customs in Europe for this tour?

  Tipping is customary. A general rule is 10% for wait staff, and €1 or €2 for other service providers. For local guides, €3-5 per day is recommended. For your CEO, a guideline of €30-€40 per person per week is suggested as an expression of satisfaction.

• Is this tour fast-paced?

  Yes, this trip has a fast-paced itinerary with some long transport days. Please review the itinerary carefully to ensure it suits your travel preferences.
