Questions for Prague/Budapest Tour

Hi fellow travelers,

I’m doing my trial pack today and have a couple of questions.

Caffeine: I drink two cups of coffee each morning to avoid headaches. Is there a Nespresso or similar in the hotel rooms to drink a first morning cup before getting dressed for breakfast?

How far did you walk for group dinners, i.e. pack the cute evening shoe or the practical one? (I’d like the cute one for post-tour time in southern Italy.)

I am staying in Prague on my arrival night and then taking the CK Shuttle to/from Cesky Krumlov for two days pre-tour. Does the shuttle stop during that route for a toilet? In other words, should I wait until arrival at the city for those two cups of coffee? ; )

I like to take a morning walk to capture photos without people in them. For solo women, did you feel comfortable walking around the hotel vicinity all times of the day? The two hotels on this date are Hotel Bookquet & Zenit Hotel Budapest Palace.

On the way to Budapest, is there a stop somewhere in Slovakia? (1st time there.)

I haven’t done a “city tour” vs, a multi-location tour since the RS Paris one back in 2013. I am really looking forward to spending extra time in these two special cities during this tour!

Thank you!

Hi Jean, I haven't been on that specific tour but I've been to both cities on a RS tour. We stayed in different hotels but I always pack my own instant coffee packets in the off chance what they offer is not...great. Booking.com says both of your hotels have tea/coffee makers in the room so you should be able to make something to get you going.

I was solo and did not have any discomfort getting out early in either city. In Prague I was out near sunrise and got some spectacular photos of the Charles Bridge with very few people on it (rare). Your hotel is super close by so that is lucky.

Take the cute shoes, you can always wear your comfy ones to dinner and I'm pretty sure no one will care :)
