A Journey to the Untamed Elegance of Eastern Europe with the following highlights:
Day 1: Budapest – Welcome to the Balkans

Day 3: Sofia – Secrets of the Orthodox East
Land in Sofia, where East meets West. Begin your day at the golden-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, followed by a private visit to the fresco-filled Boyana Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
