Wonderful trip! I strongly recommend several of the Optional Experiences to make the most of your time, including the sunset boat trip in Paris (you see the Eiffel Tower aglow!), walking tour of Hidden Venice, and walking tour of the Colosseum in Rome.
Be prepared to walk a lot (I hit 10-14k steps most days!) Be prepared for early mornings.
I joined this tour as an 18 year old first time solo traveller, scared and excited to travel with strangers. To put it simply, it exceeded all my expectations. The places I’ve been, the things I’ve seen and the people I’ve met put my experience over the top. Thank you G Adventures!
