The Best Tours for Visiting Multiple Countries in One Trip

Did somebody say five countries in just 10 days? It could only be Europe, with its excellent train links and endless supply of culturally and historically rich cities. This multi-country European train tour is the ultimate Euro adventure, stopping off at five of our favourite capital cities. We’ll start in Germany with a guided tour of Berlin, perhaps the city that’s seen more history than any on this continent. Then it’s across into Czechia on an extremely scenic train journey all the way to Prague. The medieval majesty of this fairytale town couldn’t hide itself if it tried, and neither can the city’s world class beer culture, both of which you’ll get to explore. Then it’s onto sophisticated Vienna, for schnitzel, sachertorte and a hint of classical music in the Austrian capital. Country number four is Slovakia, and it’s underrated capital Bratislava, home to one of the prettiest old towns in Europe. Our final destination? Hungarian capital Budapest, where we’ll soak in thermal baths and chat the night away in the city’s trendy ruin bars. 10 days. Five countries. Job done. The ultimate multi-country European vacation.

This two-week cross country itinerary is a Rail Trip of epic proportions. Again we’ll start in Bangkok, heading south to explore the ancient ruins of Sukhothai and the street food delights of Chiang Mai. We’ll round off our time in Thailand with a traditional cooking class, a visit to an ethical elephant sanctuary and a night spent glamping in the jungle. The next day we’ll swap trains for a cruise boat, and tracks for the Mekong River, as we discover rural Laos’ whiskey-making villagers and otherworldly cave systems. We’ll trek to the truly spectacular Kuang Si Falls – reason alone to visit this beautiful country – before taking a high-speed train to the city of Vang Vieng. After exploring the Nam Song River by kayak, it’s time to cross back into Thailand, where we’ll hop on an overnight sleeper train back to Bangkok.
