Get Social: Big European (Gap Year)

Trip overview

TRIP VIBE = fast-paced fun with tons of socialising, bucket-list sights and good times all round. Aged 17-20? Want a BIG Euro adventure with a ready-made travel fam? Plus not one but *two* awesome Trip Leaders to sort the logistics and help keep you safe? This. Is. It. From getting horizontal on beaches of the French Riviera, Kefalonia and Dubrovnik to the A-lister cities of Rome, Paris and Berlin (plus some pretty hot Balkan destinations), prepare yourself for the biggest and best fun you’ve ever had. FYI: as this is a one-off Gap Year special, you’ll need to contact us to lock it in!

Worth noting…
This is a special Gap Year trip for 17 to 20-year-olds only. Racked up a few more years? Don't cry – our standard Get Social: Big European trip is almost identical. Just give it a search!

    Awesome trip filled with unforgettable memories!

  • Anonymous October 2024

    This trip was very rushed and stressful, spent hours on the bus then rush to the hostel then do a last minute walk around, they wake you up early for a ****** breakfast which they say is included, it was literally cereal, sometimes if we were lucky we got scrambled eggs, it was like being in jail, most of the hostels were **** and really small no room to put our suitcases, I feel like every single...
