I just booked my own last minute 2024 trip with Overseas Adventure Travel. The trip price was basically 50% off. The daily cost for a European land tour was around $125-per-person-per-day. That includes hotel, meals, guides, entries and transporttation across 2 countries.

There are some incredible year-end bargains that you can take advantage of. Booking a last-minute trip (October-December 2024) is easy. And, the savings can be enormous.

Plus, here's an exclusive referral bonus of $100-per-person. Simply mention that you were 'referred by me' (Jesse Slome, Traveler #932019). That will get you the special 'referral discount' (more details below).

Thanks for taking the time to read.
Please feel free to email me. I love talking travel.

As of February 2023, we (Mindy & Jesse) have taken 14 tours with OAT. The most recent was to Japan during Cherry Blossom ime (my review will be posted shortly on my blog).

Here's what we especially like about them. And, by the way, on many tours you'll find people who have taken 20 or more trips with them.

SMALL GROUPS TRAVEL BETTER: The maximum group size for OAT land tours is 16. Small buses can access more places especially in remote areas. Small groups seem to bond better.

MORE THAN JUST THE TOURIST SITES: Of course you get to see the 'sites'. But what OAT does is really have you meet the people. Their home hosted meals can be campy. But many are my favorite trip memories. They really give you a flavor of places you can't get if you don't spend time with people in each country.

GOOD VALUE - NOT CHAIN HOTELS: They are not the cheapest tour company. But they give what I consider excellent value. They use hotels that place you in the heart of a city. Others use U.S. brands that often have you outside of town and all the action.

EXCELLENT LOCAL GUIDES: The tour leaders make or break a tour. With only one exception, our OAT tour leaders have been 10-plus.

PASSIONATE FELLOW TRAVELERS: As I said, many people have taken 10, 20 (or more) trips with OAT. These are active people who like to travel. Who like to meet and experience local life.

NEW & GREAT PLACES TO SEE: If you want the standard European bus tour, check out Trafalgar and Gobus. We used them both when we first started traveling. But if you want to sleep in a tent in the Sahara, or a yurt in the Gobi desert - go OAT. If you want to be on an organized tour to places few Americans visit (staying in great hotels), go OAT.

Obviously they have a great website where you can check out all their trips. Overseas Adventure Travel Website

I hope you'll remember to tell them that you were referred by me (Jesse Slome, Traveler #932019). Many thanks (I enjoy the savings credits ... it all helps doesn't it!).
