Itinerary
Big Brother Backpacking does not plan out itineraries before each trip. Instead, we use real time information such as weather, customer desire, and daily train schedules to determine exactly what are the best options to allow you the most out of your trip.
Our trips are not decided beforehand, except in the minds and internet search histories of our students. Instead, we rely on the knowledge of our guides, the ingenuity and desires of our students, and the feeling of the day to decide exactly what we see and what we don't see. In that sense, every single trip taken with Big Brother Backpacking will be completely different than the last.
The possibilities are almost endless. Some trips will cover a few cities for multiple days, staying in hostels and seeing the old part of town. Others will reach to the top of the Alps and camp overlooking Swiss villages. Some will weave through nine countries in two weeks, while others will stay put and get to know one area. The point is that with Big Brother Backpacking, we don't pretend to know what you want to see. We want you to tell us where exactly you want to go, and then we are going to take you there. If you get stuck and don't know what to do -- no problem. Our guides are always ready with a backup plan and an interesting place to see.
