Tour Itinerary

A European tour should include the most popular and exciting cities, the must-see sights, picturesque scenery, and a mix of culture, history, and just plain fun. This, and more, is what you get on the Best of Europe tour. Visit London, where you could join one of our optional excursions or just discover the city at leisure. From there, cross the Channel on the Eurostar train to Brussels and then continue by coach to discover many diverse continental destinations. Local Guides will tell you all about Amsterdam’s canals; Rome’s St Peter Square; Florence’s Renaissance old city center with a replica of the “David” by Michelangelo; Pompeii, where you’ll see what life was like during the Roman Empire; Paris’s most famous landmarks, and much more. As you journey through Europe, you’ll also enjoy spectacular scenery, such as the picturesque Rhineland with its scenic countryside, historic castles, and charming villages, and breathtaking views of the Italian and French Rivieras. Sit back and relax as you drive past the Burgundy vineyards in France and through gorgeous alpine landscapes from Switzerland to Italy. Marvel at the beauty of Tuscany with its rural villages, rolling hills, vineyards, rows of cypress trees, and olive groves, and stand in awe as you witness the blue sea and amazing views on the Sorrento coast and the legendary island of Capri. Last but not least, you’ll love the green hills and valleys as you travel through Umbria to visit medieval Assisi. Travel back to London on the high-speed Eurostar train from Paris and spend one additional night in London. Maybe go out and catch up on anything you missed out on at the beginning of your vacation.

everything went well. our tour guide was extremely the best. I hope when I will go on another trip she will be the tour director again.

We were very impressed by your tour director performance. He was very well versed with the history of all the places visited. He was very hard-working,and every minor details was looked into and had made our tour trouble-free and smooth-going. I strongly recommend him for your future tours to maintain a professional standard of your company.

Overall, we enjoyed the experience. We feel more confident going back to Europe at some time. If I had an opportunity, I may have selected a tour that had more included excursions. I felt a lot of pressure to purchase additional excursions on the bus.
