Itinerary

Day 1 London to Amsterdam Amsterdam welcomes you with open arms and that signature gezelligheid--a cosy, feel-good vibe you won't forget. But first, journey south from London with your Travel Director and fellow guests, through the Kent countryside to Dover. Here, you'll board your ferry to Calais, then wind your way through Belgium and the Netherlands, before reaching your first stop: Amsterdam. This evening, get a feel for the place on an orientation tour, exploring Amsterdam's charming canals and historic streets. Want to kick off the Dutch experience in style? Take to the water for a Choice Experience canal cruise, floating past centuries-old townhouses and buzzing waterfront cafes. The perfect way to soak up the atmosphere on your first night in Amsterdam!
-
Day 2 Amsterdam free time It won't take long to fall in love with the Dutch capital, but why stop at just a glance? Take your pick from some epic Choice Experiences! Step into a fairytale at Muiderslot Castle, wandering its medieval halls and gorgeous gardens. Or, go fully Dutch with a trip to the Zuider Zee--think cheese tasting, wooden shoe making, windmills, and the charming fishing village of Volendam. Still hungry for more? Wrap up your day with dinner in a historic Dutch house, soaking up the cosy atmosphere while enjoying delicious local flavours.
-
Day 3 Amsterdam - Rhine Cruise - Rhineland You won't want to blink as you head east into the lush landscapes of Germany and you'd be forgiven for wanting to jump ship and stay forever as you cruise down the Rhine River. With medieval villages, steep vineyards and storybook castles, the Rhine Valley has enchanted painters and writers for centuries. See it in all its glory as you board a leisurely river cruise on one of the best sightseeing tours in Europe, winding your way through romantic Rhineland landscapes.
-
Day 4 Rhineland - Lucerne Region Slice through the heart of Switzerland bound for Lucerne on your very own 'Grand Tour' of Europe. Take a step back in time when you join your Travel Director for an orientation tour, exploring the Old Town, the ancient wooden Chapel Bridge and Lion Monument. The mournful, mortally wounded lion hewn from rock commemorates the sacrifice made by the Swiss Guards who died defending Louis XVI during the French Revolution. This afternoon, you'll have some time to explore the city your way, perhaps with some retail therapy. You could choose to ascend to the alpine heavens instead, joining an optional scenic cruise across Lake Lucerne to Stans, then travelling by railway and cable car up into the mountains for exhilarating mountain views.
-
Day 5 Lucerne Region - Venice (Oriago) You'll touch the sky when you follow the St. Gotthard highway, winding past epic mountain scenery south to Chiasso, on the border of Italy. Cross the border and continue past Italy's enchanting Lake District and the Veneto Plains to the 'Queen of the Adriatic', Venice. You'll have some time to explore on your own or perhaps admire the beauty of Venice from its maze of canals. Join a Choice Experience to cruise by private water taxi along Venice's Grand Canal and board a gondola, watching life unfold along the city's narrow calle and magical waterways.
-
Day 6 Venice orientation and free time Cruise by private launch to St. Mark's Square. All the main attractions are within walking distance of the Piazza so you'll have easy access to view the famous Byzantine Basilica of St. Mark. Spend your time wandering the calle of Venice before we visit a glassblowing workshop, a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER(R) Experience. Watch talented master craftsmen at work, engaged in the same craft as their ancestors from centuries ago. Witness them crafting the beautiful glass creations that are characteristic of Venice. This afternoon, consider taking an optional cruise across the lagoon to colourful Burano Island.
-
Day 7 Venice - Rome
-
2025 - marks a Jubilee Year, a momentous Roman Catholic event celebrated every 25 years, turning Rome into a centre of celebration
-
Day 8 Rome sightseeing and free time Meet your Local Guide for a guided sightseeing tour that begins in the Vatican City. The dome of St. Peter's Basilica looms over the expansive St. Peter's Square - the impressive backdrop of the world's smallest country. The rest of the day is yours to explore. Perhaps join an optional light-hearted meal in the evening, revealing all the flavours that would make any Italian mamma proud.
-
Day 9 Rome - Florence Set your sights firmly on Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance and a city that has inspired poets, authors and artists for centuries. There are few cities in the world with an artistic legacy equal to that of Florence and now's your chance to experience it in all its glory. Experience the heart of the city and see the Fountain of Neptune in Piazza della Signoria. Delve into Florence's Renaissance heritage by seeing Piazza Santa Croce and its famous church. Later, you can spend a lovely evening in the Tuscan hills by joining a Choice Experience dinner.
-
Day 10 Florence - Pisa - Monaco - French Riviera If you've always dreamed of visiting that famous leaning tower, we'll take you to snap a few strategic photos featuring you and the extraordinary Leaning Tower of Pisa. Admire Pisa's Romanesque Square of Miracles in all its striped marble glory. Its structures are said to symbolise the three main stages of human life - the Baptistery (birth), the Cathedral (life) and the Camposanto (death). Next, head west to the stylish shores of Monaco. Keep your eyes peeled as you drive along its glitzy boulevards and take in all the sophistication that seems to ooze from every corner. Next stop, the glamorous French Riviera.
-
Day 11 French Riviera free time What a treat! You have a full free day to do as you wish on the French Riviera. There's no shame in spending the day sprawled out on a sun lounger with a cocktail, but if you can tear yourself away from the beach, you may choose to join your fellow travellers for an optional exploration of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Life is rather idyllic in this enchanting walled hill-town and, like some of its famous residents, you'll want to linger here a little longer. You never know who you might spot seated in those sleek Ferraris and private yachts dotted around the French Riviera.
-
Day 12 French Riviera - Avignon - Lyon Today you'll travel to the heart of Provence and the city of Avignon. A brief brush with the Papacy in the 14th century has gifted Avignon with one of the world's most incredible religious architectural legacies. While it may no longer hold the importance that the Vatican does today, views of its Palace of the Popes and St. B?nezet Bridge are just as inspiring. Later today, you'll arrive in Lyon.
-
Day 13 Lyon - Versailles - Paris We've then got another treat in store for you today - our Choice Experience Palace of Versailles tour, where you'll join a Local Specialist to explore the grand Palace of Versailles. Its splendour and beauty was created to reflect the self-proclaimed majesty of King Louis XIV, the 'Sun King'. See the exquisite sprawling gardens and the Hall of Mirrors with its impressive chandeliers and glinting mirrors. Carry on to Paris later to enjoy the city by night.
-
Day 14 Paris sightseeing and free time The Parisians know a thing or two about beauty, elegance and a life well lived - and you'll see it all up close with your full day in Paris. Take to the streets on a sightseeing tour with your Travel Director, to see the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-?lys?es and Eiffel Tower. Then spend the rest of the day discovering the city on your terms. Don't resist the urge to tread in the footsteps of Picasso and Dal? during an optional visit to Montmartre this afternoon, exploring its maze of streets and Artist's Square. There's time to shop for artwork and savour some local specialties before a real highlight this evening - an optional dinner and cabaret performance.
