Autumn arrives in an explosion of colour in Europe
With lively festivals (hello, Oktoberfest), autumn foliage and mild temperatures, October makes for exceptional European travel. While autumnal weather may not always be suitable for every outdoor expedition, it does make the region less expensive than its summer counterparts. In October, you’ll be able to sit on beaches in Amalfi, explore ancient civilisations in Malta and maybe even see snow in Iceland, all without the high-season crowds.

This trip is exceptional for the beauty of the visited sites. The group leader makes everyone comfortable and the size of the group is perfect to develop a group spirit.

This was an incredible trip! I learned so much about Spain. The destinations felt otherworldly. The food and wine, divine. The accommodations were basic but clean and comfortable. Perfect balance of structure and free time. Our guide, Ainhoa, was knowledgeable and professional. Her modern and fresh perspectives brought Spain's history and culture to life. I highly recommend this trip!

I was booked on the Bucharest to Kiev trip which for understandable reasons had to be cancelled so chose I this trip as a second best option to get to know Romania. I learned a lot so it was a good decision.
