Itinerary: Germany (Berlin), the Czech Republic (Prague), Poland (Krakow & Warsaw), the three small Baltic Countries of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia which have quite recently regained their independence, Finland (Helsinki) and Russia as well as Dubai for an Arabian experience.
Highlights: The Northern & Eastern European Farming Tour has been designed as a business trip, which may qualify as a tax-deductible expense. However, it is not all work and no play as sightseeing and shopping time has been included and you’ll see the very best of scenery that these countries have to offer. As with all Australian Farmers Tours we’ll get off the tourist track visiting sheep, beef, dairying, horticultural,
cropping, experimental farms and some of Europe’s fast developing organic farms. Seeing the monumental Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie and visiting the Auschwitz Memorial, the site of World War II concentration camp and St. Petersburg, founded by Peter the Great in 1703 and Moscow that has captivated the imagination of travellers for centuries are just a few of the highlights.
Tour Cost: The cost is fully inclusive of all breakfasts, 8 lunches and 12 dinners and utilises the services of Singapore Airlines.
