Luxury Tours of Eastern Europe

In early 1989, the Iron Curtain came down and several Eastern European countries regained their independence from the USSR. In the years since, countries that had been viewed as a homogeneous Eastern Bloc reclaimed their diverse cultural heritage and traditions. They also opened their borders allowing travelers to explore their many historical, artistic and architectural treasures. Several luxury tours journey to Eastern Europe, and travelers can discover these fascinating countries in style.
