Day 1: London To Amsterdam

Location: Amsterdam

Accommodation: Ibis Schiphol

Accommodation Name: Ibis Schiphol

Amsterdam wears its warmth with pride, and it is this gezelligheid you’ll come to remember long after you visit this leafy Dutch city. But first, journey south from London with your Travel Director and fellow travel companions, through the Kent countryside to Dover. Here you’ll board your ferry to Calais, then wind your way through the flat expanses of Belgium and the Netherlands, reaching Amsterdam this afternoon.

Day 2: Amsterdam Orientation

Location: Amsterdam

Accommodation: Rastatt

Accommodation Name: Ibis Schiphol

Meals Included: Breakfast

It won’t take long to fall in love with the Dutch capital.

Day 3: Amsterdam – Rhine Cruise – Rhineland

Location: Rhineland

Accommodation: SwissEver Zug

Accommodation Name: NH Hirschberg

Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner

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.

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.

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.

You'll have some time to explore on your own or perhaps admire the beauty of Venice from its maze of canals.

This afternoon, consider taking an optional cruise across the lagoon to colourful Burano Island.

Day 7: Venice – Rome

Location: Rome

Accommodation: Raganelli

Accommodation Name: Ergife Palace

Meals Included: Breakfast

2025 marks a Jubilee Year, a momentous Roman Catholic event celebrated every 25 years, turning Rome into a centre of celebration. As festivities unfold, itineraries may be adjusted to ensure you make the most of your time as you visit the Eternal City. This Europe value tour just keeps getting better and today the 'Eternal City' beckons as you cross the Apennines through Tuscany to Rome. There's time to hit the streets on your own or go for a leisurely stroll to one of the city's thronging piazzas for a spot of people watching. Or consider joining an optional guided sightseeing tour of Rome. Whatever you choose, it’s all about embracing life lived the Italian way – to the fullest.

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

Location: Florence

Accommodation: B&B Aéroport Arenas

Day 10: Florence – Pisa – Monaco – French Riviera

Location: Monaco

Accommodation: Ibis Cannes Mandelieu

Accommodation Name: Ibis Cannes Mandelieu

Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner

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

Location: French Riviera

Accommodation: Hampton by Hilton Clichy

Accommodation Name: Ibis Cannes Mandelieu

Meals Included: Breakfast

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

Location: Lyon

Accommodation: Hampton by Hilton Clichy

Accommodation Name: Ibis Styles Hotel Lyon Confluence

Meals Included: Breakfast

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. Bénezet Bridge are just as inspiring. Later today, you’ll arrive in Lyon.

Day 13: Lyon – Versailles – Paris

Location: Paris

Accommodation Name: Novotel Pont de Sèvres

Meals Included: Breakfast

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

Location: Paris

Accommodation Name: Novotel Pont de Sèvres

Meals Included: Breakfast

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-Élysées 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 Dalí 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.

Best trip ever!

20-Jan-2023

Our trip was absolutely outstanding, organized and just plain fun. Agnes is a wonderful tour-guide, knowledgeable and we never had to worry about anything. And Frank, our bus driver, always had a smile and gave us the smoothest bus ride ever! And I've been on buses around the world... If we ever go again (hopefully), Costsaver would be my first and only choice and hopefully we will get "team" Agnes and Frank again.
