Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Lodges along the way were simple and comfortable enough after a long day. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Worth every rupee.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Rooms were basic in the best way — dry, warm, and right where we needed them. Worth every rupee.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for.

Reply from Cypress & Stone

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Recommended.

Bohemia to the Danube done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy.
