re: Anyone ever booked a trip via groupon (looking at Europe)?

Do they pick your hotel or do you have options? When I went to Oktoberfest 2 years ago for my second time we got hotel for 4 nights and flight for like $1100 each on Expedia and flights were going for exactly the same. So basically we got 4 $240ish hotel nights for free, it didn't make sense at all but it was great.

Italy is really pretty cheap outside of hotel and air fare. I wouldn't buy the groupon without comparing your flights and hotel options first. I use Booking.com for europe hotels they have solid reviews you can view and easy to compare prices.
