Eastern Europe
For the more adventurous touring teams, or for
clubs looking for new and exciting destinations,
Eastern Europe fits the bill perfectly. The cost of
living is incredibly cheap and more than makes
up for any additional travelling costs. A pint of
beer from 50p, 3 course dinner from around £5
combined with outstanding hospitality will ensure
that you have a memorable tour.
