Around 4:00 p. m. , we’ll depart for Colchester, the oldest recorded town in England, and enjoy a leisurely stroll through its historic streets. We’ll then continue to Harwich to board the ferry for an overnight voyage to the Netherlands, staying in en suite cabins.

Finally, we’ll leave the bus and walk into the heart of the city, where the tour will end. Free time afterward.

I liked all the places I got to see and the knowledge the tour guides shared with us about each place. The trip was all a wonderful experience except, the Tour guide and experience in Paris. It was a night mare.
