Detailed Description

Europe maintains its connection to its history, emblematic in both charm and decadence. Alpine villages continue to charm visitors. Medieval Italian towns tell countless stories by virtue of surviving the centuries. Cathedrals contain innumerable priceless artworks and certain small alleyways contain as many of the city’s artifacts as the nearby museum. This 9-day highlights of Europe vacation tour package takes you to England, France, Switzerland, and Italy: each country offering a unique view of culture, cuisine, and antiquity.

Customized for 2020, your Europe vacation begins with your arrival in London. The city is a whirlwind of energy crossing the River Thames. On the third day you are taken to the Railway station for your sensational ride on the Chunnel train, taking you underneath the Channel to Paris. The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy the tremendous City of Light. Follow your guide through the city to see the famous landmarks of the city, including the Champs-Elysees and the Opera house.

You can also venture inside the Louvre to witness the grand collection of the world heritage. You step aboard your transfer on day five and make your way through the French countryside, north towards the Swiss Alps. Lucerne welcomes you with quiet beauty sitting beneath the rugged summits of the surrounding mountains. Visit the tranquil Lion Monument and enjoy a serene picturesque stroll through Old Town. Make your way up to Mount Pilatus by cable car or indulge in a morning search for chocolate.

Pass through the Italian Lake District to the picture perfect town of Bergamo. Relax around the medieval streets of the hillside city connected by a funicular. The following day you venture deeper into Italy, arriving in the magnificent city of Venice. Take a private water-taxi around the Grand Canal and witness the city’s iconic images. Leave the city behind for Florence, a truly enchanting Renaissance city surrounded by the rolling hills of Tuscany.

Continue to Rome, where all the roads eventually lead. A full day in the Eternal City takes you around the treasured ruins, including the Colosseum. Follow your guide through the Vatican Museum to witness the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Square, and the Basilica. The following day you will have a private transfer to the airport to make your flight home, but you will carry the variety of wonders from your European exploration home with you.
