ITINERARY
Tour image

Day 1  London to Amsterdam, Netherlands    
Ten days of heart pounding adventure kick off today. Meet up with your Contiki posse and share notes on London town before hitting the road to Amsterdam. Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil! We travel north via Belgium before reaching... Amsterdam! Tonight, the famed for fun Amsterdam is yours to explore following an optional evening canal cruise.    

Day 2  Amsterdam    
Take in the beauty of Amsterdam’s canals, crooked buildings, obscure museums and a café culture like no other.    

Day 3  Amsterdam to Rhine Valley, Germany  
After a scenic journey of fairy tale castles, vineyards and valleys, you'll be charmed before we even arrive in Germany's famous Rhine Valley.      

Day 4  Rhine Valley to Munich    
Too much grape juice last night? Not to worry, the prospect of Munich should lift your spirits as you travel south and swap wine culture for beer. Today your eyes will be treated to a famous Glockenspiel, a charming old town and a traditional Bavarian culture. But first, take up the option to explore the side streets and English Gardens by bicycle.    

Day 5  Munich to Venice, Italy    
Goodbye Munich, hello mountains. You'll think you've seen enough beauty for one day after taking in the Central Austrian Alps and Brenner Pass en route to Italy. After short stops in Innsbruck and Trento, you'll arrive in Venice!

Day 6  Venice    
In Venice your jaw will hit the floor over hidden lanes, story book bridges and a private canal boat ride. We'll start exploring The Floating City by jumping aboard our own private motoscafo boat and cruising the canals en route to the historical heart of the city.    

Day 7  Venice to Swiss Alps, Switzerland    
Arrivederci, Venice! You've been splendid. And now you're off to the Swiss Alps. Arrive in a picture perfect setting in the traditional resort town of Lauterbrunnen.    

Day 8  Swiss Alps to Paris, France    
After coasting through the pretty wine producing region of Burgundy, we'll arrive in the City of Lights. Lamp-lit bridges, a sparkling Eiffel Tower, & evening coffee haunts, this evening we'll fall in love with everything Paris on a dreamy night-time tour.    

Day 9  Paris    
Pastries, paintings, perfume - Paris is yours! Visit the glamorous Fragonard perfumery, then the time is yours to roam tree-lined quartiers, explore Notre Dame Cathedral, or get arty in the galleries of the Louvre. Make your last night count with can-can girls and Champagne over dinner, followed by Nouvelle Eve cabaret show.    

Day 10  Paris to London    
What a journey, on arrival in London say a fond farewell to the group as you wrap up the journey on arrival.
