Forgotten Corners of Europe Tour
Somewhere between classic Central Europe (like Prague or Vienna) and distinctly Eastern Europe one can find pockets of towns and whole regions that have yet to be rediscovered by tourism. These forgotten spots and undiscovered gems are a mix of central and eastern and teem with life, colors, rich traditions, magnificent castles, charming towns and special people. Some are rural regions that were forgotten (thankfully) by the Communists and left alone, standing now as glimpse into life as it was 200 years ago. Other spots on the tour are cities and towns that were once the furthest most reaches of the Habsburg empire - most still far from the tourist track. In the spirit of other Roads Less Traveled tours, we will bring you to these forgotten places and give you experiences that other tours can't offer up. You'll be amongst the locals, their traditions, history and stories.
