Program Reviews

I did this trip while I was studying abroad and it was one of my favorite things I did! The staff were amazing and traveling with them was so easy! Smart Trip provided everything from transportation to accommodations to options for fun things to do in each place from a boat cruise/tour, to visiting Capri and Positano, to hiking Mt. Vesuvius, to doing a tour through Pompeii! It was just absolutely beautiful and so much fun and it seriously took the stress out of traveling/planning a trip. I highly recommend it!

I highly recommend Smart Trip. They make things so much simpler than traveling on your own because they take care of all the logistics and you can just enjoy yourself! They figure out transportation, book really great hostels and give you advice on exploring your destination. They have the best guides ever, they are super helpful and friendly! The guides have really great tips and really want to help you make the most out of your trip. I would definitely go again on an adventure with Smart Trip.

This was such a fun trip, Cinque Terre was absolutely stunning and if you like traveling on the coast, this will definitely impress. The staff were so awesome, they made everything stress free and fun. The staff are super knowledgable and very friendly. I would highly recommend using Smart Trip, they are always cheaper and I have had a better experience. I went on this trip solo and I was super nervous about it, the staff made me feel at ease and I got to meet other students that were both studying in Florence and throughout Italy. I made friends from that trip that I still keep in touch with. If you are debating any trip with Smart Trip, do it !! You won't regret it. I would 100 percent do it again!! The scenery was so breathtakingly beautiful!

When I studied abroad I went on the day trip to Cinque Terre trip. I had such a blast and couldn't stop raving about this trip. Smart Trip was so well organized and had such nice and friendly staff that made me have the time of my life. While at first I was hesitant if I should go without a tour and do this day trip by myself, I am so thankful I participated with Smart Trip. Having a guide to lead us to the best places saved so much time and effort, and allowed us to enjoy our day with no stress. Not to mention we met so many new friends because of it. I had such great staff who not enhanced this trip, but gave me tips for other amazing spots in Italy. My friends and I left with such great memories, and I can't recommend Smart Trip more. From the hiking, to the food, to the people this trip was a dream.

I had so much fun on this trip! Prague has always been on my bucket list and Smart Trip helped create the perfect weekend. I was able to see the city and all the historic spots during the day and then go to the best clubs at night! The staff was so so friendly and fun and they showed us the best restaurants and bars. We also went to the Christmas markets, which were soo amazing! It was like nothing I have ever seen before. Prague is my new favorite city and it definitely wouldn't have been the same if I hadn't gone with Smart Trip. In my opinion, it's the best way to travel. Already looking into booking another trip with them because I know it will be amazing!! Highly recommend Smart Trip to any study abroad student looking for a cheap and fun way to travel around Europe!

Booking with Smart Trip was the best decision I ever made! This trip to Prague I will remember for a lifetime. By the end of the trip I felt like my friends and the Smart Trip staff were family. They were so nice and entertaining. Had a blast. Took so many pictures and the Smart Trip staff they are very good with a camera great angles! We took a boat ride on the river and saw all the swans. Took beautiful breathtaking photos of the bridges. Also saw the John Lennon Wall. Got to paint my own stamp on the wall and it felt really good to promote peace worldwide. We had great pizza on a large yacht and it was luxurious. Also went to the royal gardens and had champagne. I enjoyed feeling like a king as all the castles were absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much Smart Trip!

The scenery was so breathtakingly beautiful! I took so many pictures. The staff was very informative and educated our group on all the different types of wine. They were funny as well. Staff made me feel comfortable. We tasted about 8 different wines and had a 2 course meal to go with it. (there are vegetarian options as well) , The staff at the winery was a family business. Very personable. Spoke very well English! The smart trip staff are very friendly. I went on a student trip. I would definitely recommend to other study abroad students traveling throughout Italy. Smart trip is very well organized and knows what they're dong. You can ask them any questions!!! Overall, my experience in Tuscany with Smart Trip was amazing and I would definitely do it again!

I was very hesitant to go on a trip all by myself. The staff was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. This allowed me to step outside of my shell and have the most fun I've ever had before. Croatia is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The hostel living conditions were better than I expected
Since I enjoyed the trip to Croatia so much I went on other trips they offered. Each one of them was memorable. I made so many friends that I hope I can stay in contact with for years.

If you go to Croatia with Smart Trip I encourage you to take advantage of everything they offer. I wish I could keep reliving it. My favorite part of the whole trip was going to the Kirka National park. The waterfalls were absolutely beautiful.

First of all, without the suggestion made by Smart Trip to visit Croatia, I never would have thought to do so. Second of all, this trip was the best weekend of my life. I attended this weekend trip when I was studying abroad in Florence, and I didn't want to leave Croatia once we were there. The Smart Trip tour guides set up walking tours around Split for us, and had us involved in a bar crawl around Split that let us see Split further than the day-time walking tour and allowed us to meet other people that were traveling from all over. This trip included enough guided time and enough free time as to where we were never bored, but we were never stressed with the amount of activities given to us. There is free time for dinner Friday night, which I thought allowed the students to explore the city on their own a bit. Would recommend this trip to anyone, 10/10!

I had the best experience in Croatia, everyone was nice and I even went mountain climbing. Trip was organized and the staff was incredible, met so many cool people during the trip. The hostel that we stayed in was clean and nice and offered a small breakfast, there was also a supermarket walking distance (everything was pretty much walking distance) I participated in a bar crawl that was a lot of fun! I loved how I was able to explore the city on my own while having the option to sign of for events! The bus ride was like 12 hours so I suggest bringing melatonin or something to help you sleep during the duration of the way but it wasn’t that bad. Everything in Croatia was like out of a postcard it was beautiful, I also suggest doing the boat tour and ride.
