“Self-guided European walking with route notes and luggage transfer”
Route notes, GPX and a van that moves your bag. No leader on the hill, which suits some people and not others.
Estonia done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would send friends their way.
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Would book with them again.
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Would book with them again.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Recommended.

Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Good value for what's included.
Yes. All three are in Schengen and the borders are unmanned. Apply at the consulate of whichever country you spend the most nights in.
