About This Tour

Vacation Overview
If you want to see Western Europe’s main highlights, this is the vacation for you! Visit Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and France. Start your European trip in cosmopolitan London with time to discover the capital at your leisure or by joining one of our popular optional excursions. Next, cross the English Channel by ferry and board your motorcoach for a trip to Brussels, capital of Belgium and seat of most of the European Union institutions. Drive through Germany and enjoy a leisurely Rhine River cruise. Then, follow the picturesque Romantic Road all the way to Innsbruck, Austrian capital of Tyrol. Travel to Oberammergau in the Bavarian Alps. Surrounded by majestic mountains and picturesque meadows, Oberammergau is famous for its Passion Play performed by locals just once a decade to fulfill the town’s promise to God in exchange for protection from the Black Death. Cross the Alps into Switzerland to spend some time in beautiful Lucerne. Admire Lucerne’s impressive city walls, covered wooden bridge, ornate patrician houses lining cobblestone streets, and the Lion Monument—a masterful stone sculpture in honor of the heroic Swiss Guard of Louis XVI. On to Paris, the "City of Light,” with an included guided sightseeing tour and the option of discovering the city at night. Return to London by motorcoach and ferry channel crossing for an additional overnight in London.
