It was great for our first European trip. We weren’t impressed with the Ibis hotel chain that we stayed in as some had very small rooms to open our luggage in.
Wanna explore Europe’s coolest cities by train, with unique experiences that go deeper than sightseeing? On this trip, you’ll see famous cities through a whole new lens as we explore Amsterdam with refugees. You’ll see a cabaret show in Paris, and get to know Berlin’s alternative art scene. Go dancing, dining and daydreaming with a small, close-knit group. And then there’s the scenery…
Cross five countries in ten days and discover endless new experiences and countless memories. Cruise Amsterdam’s canals and find out why hipster Copenhagen is known as the happiest city in the world. From edgy Berlin with its lively nightlife to Poland’s vibrant capital, you’ll learn the local secrets, taste authentic local eats and live your best life along the way.
Nine countries, nineteen days, one unforgettable adventure. From East to West we’ll explore the best of Europe as it comes alive in winter, from the historical heritage, colourful street art and infamous ruin bars of Krakow and Budapest, to breathing in the crisp alpine air of the Austrian Alps & strolling the cobbled streets and markets of Ljubljana, before encountering all the charms of Italy with a hit of culture and pasta.
This one makes tracks through some of Europe's coolest cities, taking the train from London to Budapest and spending time in dreamy Paris, quirky Amsterdam, bohemian Prague and opulent Vienna along the way. Foodie walking tours, street art, Berlin's iconic nightlife & a cruise on the Danube are just a few of the highlights, while scenic train rides show you authentic Europe from a classic mode of transport.
It was a great experience. I would’ve never seen any of the sites on my own that we saw on the bus if we go again, I know the sites I want to spend more time.
Explore some of Europe’s cultural highlights and year-round coolest cities by winter. Take in cosmopolitan Copenhagen and the party capital of Berlin before exploring the melting-pot of old and new that is Eastern Europe, marvel at the mountain vistas of Austria, wrap up warm to cruise the canals of Venice, soak up the history of Rome and take in all the magic of London to Rome without the summer crowds.
Starting in a magical city of monuments and pasta to die for, it’s easy to fall in love with Rome at any time of year - but roam even further and the magic just keeps coming. On this trip we’ll take in the charming streets of Florence, the fairytale landscape of Lucerne and the foodie capital of Lyon. Finally, we’ll raise a glass to ‘la belle vie’ in Paris, city of dreams. Could you dream of a better adventure in Europe?
Beautifully varied and wonderfully unspoilt, Dorset's award-winning Jurassic Coast offers 95 miles of idyllic sandy beaches backed by ancient craggy cliffs and meadows carpeted with seasonal wildflowers. In 2001, it gained UNESCO recognition as England's first Natural World Heritage Site charting 185 million years of the earth's history, with rocks and fossils dating to Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous times.
This 6-night Jurassic Coast walk is the perfect introduction to Dorset's wild and beautiful landscape, where the quietly rolling Purbeck Hills stand in stark contrast to the huge falcon patrolled chalk cliffs, and where every climb is rewarded with fantastic sweeping sea views. In the main, your route follows the coast-hugging long-distance South West Coast Path, pitching and swooping from one downland hollow to the next before a gentle descent into Lulworth Cove by way of the panoramic Burning Cliff and the world-famous rock-arch, Durdle Door. The 280-acre Durlston Country Park is a haven for wildlife (including rare red squirrels) and, with over 250 species of birds, is an ornithologist's paradise. On your final stretch of the Jurassic Coast walk, if you're lucky, you may spot bottlenose dolphins and playful seals emerging from the waves beyond Swanage where the procession of sculpted cliffs and towering chalk stacks known as Old Harry Rocks, marks the end of the Jurassic Coast.
As well as outstanding natural beauty, the region is also rich in archaeology with ancient forts and crumbling castles proudly guarding quintessential rural villages tucked into tranquil corners and crammed with traditional sandstone cottages, tempting tearooms and atmospheric old coaching inns serving great local food. The places you'll be staying in are among the best in the region, including a hotel with excellent leisure facilities and within walking distance of the Georgian Esplanade in Weymouth and a family-run property that looks out toward Swanage bay. Breakfasts are included everywhere; with so many dining options on your doorstep, we've left other meals up to you.
