Get off the beaten track and truly under the skin of a destination.

Backroads Alpine tour from Munich to Venice   , WA, Australia, Jun 2025
We enjoyed this tour immensely, the pace with 2 night stays was perfect and the places we saw were awesome. Our tour leader was super efficient BUT for the price the overall holiday was not value for money. We loved Munich, picturesque Lake Constance was a highlight, then beautiful Innsbruck, the scenery in Cortina (Dolomites) was breathtaking, historic ...read more Verona was very interesting, and finishing off in Venice was icing on the cake. BUT, there were a few things that did not compliment such a great tour - the hotel in Munich was average, the hotel in Cortina had no air conditioning and we sweltered in the heat and the hotel in Verona was some 20 kms out of town. The included evening dinner meals (3) were disappointing in quality and the set menu did not suit everyone. The there was the coach driver who was regularly on his phone while driving and got lost quite often. Don’t get me wrong we had a fantastic holiday but there were things that were not up to standard which made in not value for money.
Walk Hadrians wall   , NSW, Australia, Jun 2025
A well organised trip with careful planning for each of the days walks. Our guide, Joe, was exceptional. Would recommend if you like walking, but not carrying luggage.
A great short tour   , South Australia, Australia, Jun 2025
This was our first visit to these 4 capitals and we were very happy with the Bunnik tour. Our tour Director, Klemen, was outstanding. The Bunnik itinerary was flexible so we could add in extra stops without rushing the scheduled visits. We could do as much or as little walking as we wanted as Klemen always gave us options. Our tour had only 8 travellers ...read more so all our stops were much more efficient than would have been on a larger group. We combined this tour with a 20 day Bunnik ‘Jewels of Dalmatia’ tour of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia. We can definitely recommend both these tours.
Disappointed   , WA, Australia, Jun 2025
We found the trip a bit of a disappointment, the accommodation was fantastic near or in the Game Reserve, the food was good with 3 meals a day with a large variety to choose from and the 6 seater 4x4 with lifting roof where comfortable and allowed all of us to have a great view and get great shots. Ours and fellow travelers disappointed was that most ...read more drives were only 2 hours and the 4x4 were not aquipped with radio to communicate with other vehicles and seemed to drive a set route, we were told one day we were not looking for big cats as the agenda said elephants. Also our tour guide moved between both vehicles each day but spent most of it talking to the driver. While it was a great experience going to these amazing locations I’d probably choose another provider for our next adventure in Africa.
