European Magic

Day 1  London to Amsterdam        
Leave London with your fellow travellers and head to the White Cliffs of Dover to board a Ferry to Calais, France. Your final stop for this evening is in Amsterdam, where you may choose a cruise along the canals.  

Day 2  Amsterdam to Rhine Valley        
Today wander down a cobbled canal-lined street step into a local cafe for Dutch mini pancakes or check out some of the cute bookshops lining the canal. Leave the narrow canals to one sprawling river, with boats gliding to and fro. Welcome to the Rhine Valley, home of premium German wine.  

Day 3  Rhine Valley to Munich  
Head to Munich for a locally guided tour of the city and be amused watching the antics of mechanical figurines in the city's famous Glockenspiel. This evening admire the 800 years of history at a traditional Bavarian beer hall.  

Day 4  Munich to Venice  
This morning you'll climb aboard the coach ready for a scenic roll through the Bavarian Alps, past fairytale castles and rambling vineyards, en route to Austria. Stop at laidback Innsbruck to stroll the medieval old town before arriving in Venice for a relaxing evening.  

Day 5  Venice  
Venice is yours for a full and glorious Italian day. Start exploring The Floating City by jumping aboard  
a private motoscaffo boat and cruising the canals en route to the historical heart of the city. Later take the chance to discover hidden Venice with a guided walking tour, take a traditional gondola ride, or just explore these cobbled streets on your own.  

Day 6  Venice to Lucerne      
Pass Lake Come as you cruise out of Italy heading to the Swiss Alps. With magical views unfolding outside your windows find yourself in Switzerland, pulling up in the fairytale town of Lucerne, famous for its wooden bridges, cobbled lanes and beautiful lakeside setting. Visit the wooden chapel bridge and lion monument, before considering a lake cruise tonight to view the epic Swiss Alps.  

Day 7  Lucerne to Paris  
Cross the border into France and coast through the pretty wine region of Burgundy. Arrive in Paris, the City of Lights with lamp-lit bridges, a sparkling Eiffel Tower, & evening coffee haunts. Marvel at the spectacular landmarks on a dreamy night-time tour, then celebrate your first night in the city by heading up the Montparnasse Tower for the best panoramic views of the city.  

Day 8  Paris  
There's plenty of time to lust over designer haute couture or French vintage stores, admire the Notre Dame Cathedral, or get artsy at the many museums of the Louvre. Tonight, why not end your trip with a bang and enjoy VIP seats and dinner at the iconic Moulin Rouge cabaret show?
