The itinerary was jam-packed with events if you opt for all the optional tours. Be ready for long bus drives between venues, but the tour director will soften the blow by providing an adequate number of comfort stops.

The itinerary was very well planned and gave us the opportunity to experience several beautiful countries in just one week. We especially enjoyed Amsterdam’s canals, the scenic Rhine River cruise, the breathtaking Swiss Alps and Lucerne, and the highlights of Paris. There was a nice balance between guided sightseeing and free time to explore on our own. The travel days were comfortable, and our air-conditioned coach made the longer drives enjoyable. The optional excursions were excellent and added even more to the experience, but there was never any pressure to purchase them. Although the pace was busy, we never felt rushed and came home feeling like we had seen so much of Europe in a short time. I would definitely recommend this itinerary to first-time visitors to Europe.
