All Expenses Included!

At Big Brother Backpacking, we don't believe in hidden fees. Traveling is an expensive activity as is, and we have no desire to lure customers in based on false promises, invisible costs or hidden incidentals. When we say all expenses are included, we mean it!

The cost of your trip includes but is not limited to:

• One Eurail Global pass valid for the entirety of your European trip.
• All food, snacks and drinks.
• All accommodation in a variety of hotels, hostels and camp sites.
• All inner-city bus, subway and other transportation fares.
• All museum, national park, UNESCO world heritage site admission costs and other related fees.
• All other unforeseen incidentals.
• One professionally photographed and edited album of your trip.
• One experienced guide per (maximum) five travelers. We keep our guide to student ratio so low to make sure that individual desires can be fulfilled.
• Tents will be provided by Big Brother Backpacking unless otherwise requested. This is not only to save you expense, but also to keep us from having to carry the extras.

The cost of your trip does not include:

• Airfare from home to Europe. We would be happy to book and add the price of airfare for you (if you desire), but as flight costs change with regularity, and many people choose to use frequent flyer miles,  it is better to leave it as a decision for the customer without imposing.
• Your ISIC application fees. You will be required to bring an International Student Identification Card for your trip. For more information on applying, please check here.
• Traveler's insurance. We require that all of our students come equipped with ample traveler's insurance.
• Medical insurance. Although most of our students will probably already have medical insurance in some way or another, it is a requirement that our students' insurance adequately covers them for trips abroad.
• Souvenirs for Mom and Dad.
• The lederhosen you are going to want after trekking the Alps.
