Day 1: Amsterdam - tour starts
Arrive in Amsterdam and make your way to our accommodation resort for the start of the tour at 10:00 hrs. We start in style with a bicycle tour to explore the Dutch countryside. Passing through Edam and the little fishing village of Volendam, you will really get a feel for the Dutch countryside! We end the tour with a visit to a cheese farm and clogs, where you'll experience how traditional clogs are made, and the Dutch won't let you leave before you realise there is more to cheese than cheddar. From the countryside, we make our way into the city for an afternoon walking tour of the world famous Amsterdam "Red Light District", which leaves the afternoon free to explore Anne Frank's House, Dam Square, van Gogh Museum or why not take a canal cruise. The night open to paint the town red!

Day 2: Amsterdam - the Rhine Valley
There is only one way to see the Rhine Valley, and that is from the deck of a river boat! Enjoy a refreshing German beer as you cruise down the Rhine River before we head to our accommodation. Sights along the way include the most concentrated stretch of castles in Europe, vineyards, cliffs and medieval German towns. After dinner, why not take a relaxing stroll along the river and take time out to recharge.

Day 3: Rhine Valley - Munich
Known worldwide for the famous the annual "Oktoberfest", Munich has so much more to offer! Munich’s city centre has been comprehensively and lovingly restored after 80% of the old town centre was destroyed by allied bombing in World War II, and what better way to experience local cuisine than at a traditional beer hall!

Day 4: Munich - Venice
We leave Germany and head down way south to Italy! Tonight's stop is one of Europe's most romantic cities, Venice. Stretching across 117 islands, you will begin your evening with a local guided walking tour, learning why Venice is such a 'must see' destination. You can see the Rialto Bridge, St Mark's Square, the Bridge of Sighs and the Doge's Palace. Afterwards, indulge in an espresso in one of many plazas, relax in a gondola or explore and get lost within this a"mazing" city on water.

Upon arrival in this beautiful city we have a local guided walking tour where you can catch a glimpse of the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria (the original location of Michelangelo's 'David' statue), Ponte Vecchio and Santa Croce Basilica. After free time in Florence we head to our accommodation in Tuscany, where the day is finished with an authentic Italian meal. Buon appetito!

Day 7: Jungfrau, Swiss Alps
Enjoy a free day to explore and take in the spectacular local scenery. One of the 'must see' optional highlights of this tour is to travel to the 'Top of Europe' – Jungfraujoch. The views will leave you breathless (and that isn't just because of the high altitude!) This 4000m glacier has a beauty all of its own, and the combination of ice, snow, rock and epic views will stay with you for life. There is snow all year round, so you can make a snow man or have a snowball fight in the middle of summer!
