Hey, I did do an 8 country tour, but it was not a tour with a group, I planned the entire thing myself, I picked the cities with my best friend, planned hostels and a farmstay, found train tickets, and even a 30 dollar plan ticket roundtrip from London to Rome. It was for my Best friend college graduation. It was so amazing and so fun and I felt so accomplished knowing I did the whole thing on my own. Everyone is always shocked to hear I planned it, it's not hard:)
