5個女仔去歐洲旅行..自由行定跟團好??請大師指回迷津...

其實 Steven 兄已經講左一大部份了. 我只作少少補充. 首先, 歐洲真係好大... 你冇隨意門, 唔可以一打開就閃去第二個地方. 另外, 城市同城市之間的距離, 並唔係中環去天水圍... 有時候你需要花上 10 幾小時才可以由一處到另一處. 20 天的時間, 扣起 2 天飛機來回香港, 只有 18 天, 你打算去 6 個國家... 即是每國只有 3 天. 咁我又想問下, 18 日, 你可否去日本, 韓國, 中國, 台灣, 越南同埋泰國呢??? 因此, 先好好想想你想去什麼地方吧.

另外 $30000 的預算, 扣起 $8000 的機票, $4000 左右火車證及旅遊保險的費用. 只剩 $18000, 每天只有 100 歐元. 如果你只住 youth hostel 或者 motel, 飲食簡單, 唔狂食狂買, 唔包 shopping, 慳慳地, 可以 ! 歐洲物價係貴, 但你識精打細算嘅, 係可以慳唔少. 另外又要睇下你咩時間去. Low Season 同 High Season 的住宿可以相差 1 倍價錢 !!!

唔好以為 $30000 可以跟到團, 歐洲 15 天團費已經接近 $20000, 仲有稅同導遊費呢??? 你仲要駛費... $30000 亦未必可以埋單 ! 同 Steven 一樣, 我會建議第一次歐遊的走傳統路線: 羅馬 -> 佛羅倫斯 -> 威尼斯 -> 米蘭 -> 巴黎 -> 阿姆斯特丹 -> 倫敦, 慢慢的消磨 20 天. 不是去得多地方就是成功的行程

注意事項: 同樣, 財不露眼 !!!!!! 特別係現在手機上網十分方便, 變成我們一有時間, 有事冇事都拎電話出嚟 fing 兩 fing... 如果係咁, 係歐洲你有 10 個手機都唔夠比人偷 ! 香港係全世界最安全的城市, 變成我地的警覺性亦係全世界最低 !!! 成為小偷眼中的肥羊, 加上我地的電子產品永遠是尖端, 賣得好價錢... 因此, 還是好好保護財物, 否則下機後的第一站就是警局 !

In answering your questions:

1. It is up to you. Joining the tour group will ensure you not missing any "must-go" attraction.

However, you will miss a lot of freedom by joining the tour.

2. Yes. You have to drop at least 3 countries. 3 days in a country for a tour? It is even worst than joining tour.

My suggestion is keep the U.K., France and Spain and drop the rest.

(The U.K. and France is connected through Eurostar. France and Spain is next to each other. These countries can save you significant travel time.)

3. My suggestion is as follow:

HKG > Paris (CDG) > France > U.K. > Spain > France > Paris (CDG) > HKG

The reasons are:

a. There is no nonstop flight from Hong Kong to Spain;

b. Airport tax in the U.K. is very expensive. It will be cheaper if you fly from/to another European country rather than Hong Kong;

4. A lot of backpackers are blindsided of their choices, such as lodging. For typical backpackers, hostel is a good option. But in the case that you have enough people, you can do something creative, such as staying in a hotel.

My point is - you have to adjust your expectation together with your situation. In some cases, a typical choice may not be best for you.

Also - avoid using cash. Although cash is king, in traveling, credit card (even with transaction fee) is better:

a. You can significantly avoid loss in case of loss and/or stolen;

b. You can keep track of your spending;

c. It is easier to do follow-up with credit card than cash;

d. It is easier to process credit card VAT refund than cash.

如果樓主及一班朋友一定要去晒所有提到既地方，旅行團一定唔得，通常歐洲旅行團唔包西葡，亦唔包捷克等東歐國家，因為東歐會自成一團。不過以自由行來講，樓主既旅程都太長，每人30000蚊應該唔夠，樓主最好刪減部份行程。

咁多個國家真係太多，請留意歐洲各國本身好大，剩係一個法國已經有好多唔同地區可以去旅行。本人建議樓主只去英國倫敦、法國巴黎、意大利米蘭、威尼斯、佛羅倫斯、羅馬，然後去捷克布拉格，就咁一條路線基本上要用一個月，如果唔係只係完全走馬看花。

由香港出發，樓主可以選擇由倫敦入境，然後依上面所講次序玩，注意既係離開巴黎後可選擇飛去米蘭或羅馬繼續行程，本人認為飛去羅馬先好D，因為米蘭或威尼斯去布拉格較近，最後無可避免一定要係布拉格番香港。

自由行最緊要財不可露眼，衣著普通避免引起不必要注意係最基本常識。去到外地人生路不熟，應避免玩得太夜，最好唔好去酒吧區及紅燈區。樓主雖然有幾個女仔，但都要注意唔好同陌生人有過多交往，最多點頭問路就好，同埋盡量留係遊客區活動。
