EASTERN EUROPEAN GRAND TOUR
June 6 – 19, 2027
Five iconic cities. One unforgettable Sisterhood journey.
A women-only journey through Eastern Europe where history, culture, and connection come alive across five cities
Are you ready to explore Europe in a way that speaks to your soul surrounded by supportive women, meaningful moments, and unforgettable beauty? Join us on our Eastern European Grand Tour 2027, a 14-night women-only journey through some of Europe’s most enchanting cities: Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, and Kraków.
This isn’t your typical sightseeing trip. It’s a Sisterhood experience, filled with authentic cultural encounters, heartfelt connections, and plenty of space to relax, laugh, and be yourself. Whether you’re a seasoned solo traveler or stepping out for the first time, you’ll feel right at home in our welcoming group of like-minded women.
We’ll walk through centuries of history, from the Brandenburg Gate and Prague Castle to Schönbrunn Palace and the haunting grounds of Auschwitz. We’ll dance the Viennese waltz, cook Czech classics, and share cake with grandmas who are redefining retirement through a women-led café in Vienna. And every step of the way, we’ll lift each other up, because this is about women supporting women, around the world and within our own group.
This is more than a trip. It’s a shared story, and we’d love for you to be part of it. Spaces are limited: reserve your spot today and let the Sisterhood begin.

Cancellation & Refunds
Activity Level:
Moderate
ACTIVITY LEVEL: 3 Moderate
This journey through Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland is best suited for travelers who are comfortable with a moderate to active pace and enjoy immersive sightseeing on foot. While thoughtfully paced and balanced with free time, many days include guided walking tours, historic sites, and full sightseeing days that require stamina and flexibility.
Walking and Standing
Expect regular walking most days, often on cobblestone streets, uneven surfaces, and historic pathways. Guided city tours in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, and Kraków typically involve several hours of walking with periodic stops, as well as standing during site visits, museums, memorials, and guided explanations. Stairs are common at castles, memorials, and older buildings, and handrails may not always be available.
Terrain and Conditions
This itinerary travels through historic European cities where infrastructure reflects centuries-old design. Expect cobblestones, narrow streets, uneven pavement, gentle to moderate hills, and occasional inclines, such as in Prague, Budapest, and Kraków. Some rural and countryside stops involve short walks on gravel paths or village streets.
Transportation and Travel Days
This trip includes a combination of private motorcoach travel and at least one train journey. Several days involve longer drives between cities, including travel from Berlin to Prague, Vienna to Budapest, and Budapest to Kraków, with planned stops to stretch and explore along the way.
Pacing and Free Time
While many days are full and enriching, the itinerary is intentionally balanced with free afternoons, independent exploration, and choice-based experiences, such as thermal baths versus museum visits in Budapest. These breaks provide opportunities to rest, explore at your own pace, or simply enjoy a café, hotel lounge, or quiet walk with your Sisters.
