Europe is big my friend

I went to a few cities like London, Budapest, Spain, Italy , Germany, Switzerland

If u go central city can go yourself and ride the train or take taxi via thier grab call taxify or something

The only problem is to carry the fucking luggage’s if u pack a house

Also I recommend for u to take your if you going Europe because there’s too much history and need guidance on what is what


The most magical thing I’ve seen is sagrada familia

Beautiful …just beautiful

I plan to bring my parents for vacation. However, my parents insisted that joining tour guide means less walk as tour bus is provided. If self free and easy, always need to take mrt, walk or find taxi

What do u think of tour guide service? We plan to find a good local tour agency and subscribe their package. However, for me i think self planned is the best.

Anyone gives their insights?

Depends on what you want or don't want and where are you going. Pros and Cons. No straight answers.

If your parents like packaged tour, why not join them and see how it goes.

And other time, DIY with them and let them see how it goes.

As for MRT etc, well, if you have the money many things can be arranged just for you few people.

One thing for sure. Whichever way you choose, your parents will be super happy son taking them for holiday. You can bet on that.

Old folks, better just go with tour. The one you mention " free and easy, always need to take mrt, walk or find taxi" you think your old folks ok ar? If active type go hiking, jogging then go for free and easy. If typical old folks bagun, makan, play phone, better go for tour guide.

1st time to Europe? Maybe the only time?

I suggest not over doing it. Can never cover all Europe in a single trip.

If pick a single city to visit... London. Because english speaking. Easy to get around and many places to see in London alone.

Using London as base, without checking in and checking out of hotels, can do day trips to other places/towns...

Sometimes it is difficult to travel with other people whether friends, siblings or parents.

Everything also boring... go to scenic places, after 2 minutes, enuff dy, let's get back to the car/van/bus and move on.

Go see museums, wat for!!! Boring places...

Go see cathedrals, aiyoh, u christian meh?

Go historical places, why see some big stones?

Bad planning. Maybe don't take Metro but taxi/grab.

Not trolling. If you don't understand your own parents and how they like to travel/visit/see, then you shouldn't be doing the planning. Let them select the tours they like, and you just follow along.

Do the things you like another time when traveling alone.
