Tour Overview
TRIP VIBE = fast-paced fun with tons of socialising, bucket-list sights and good times all round. So your boss only gave you two weeks leave? Lucky for you this firecracker of a Euro trip fits so perfectly into 15 days it’s almost too good to be true. Get a taste of Europe with the big-gun cities, the bucket-list items and alllllll the carb-loaded, cheese-topped, sugar-filled delights that only Europe can deliver. There’s not really a better introduction to Europe than this.
Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1: London (England) – Paris (France)
Meet the crew in London and load up the coach – we’re hitting the road early to jump across the channel. The home of Coco Chanel, the Mona Lisa and world’s craziest roundabout – Paris deserves its rep as the European capital for all things culture, fashion and bloody good food. Get to know the City of Love with a driving tour. Then? Switch Paris mode ON and get exploring! The first holy-sh*t-we're-really-here optional activity to tick off: an evening cruise down the River Seine.
Day 2: Paris
Meals Included: Dinner
This is your day, your way. So make every second count. Create a solid dent in your bucket list with a visit to the Louvre (get your tix in advance!). Snap a pic of the Arc de Triomphe. Wander the Champs Elysées. Or discover the hidden back-streets on your own. Walking not your thing? Stretch out those legs on an optional bike tour. Tonight, it’s time for a delish meal with the gang. Then dress to impress for an optional cabaret show. Think: sparking lights, death-defining acrobatics, OTT costumes and the can-can (of course).
Day 3: Paris – Swiss Alps (Switzerland)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Trade in Parisian streets for snowy peaks. Warm up those vocal cords, we’ll be blasting some tunes on the ride into the mountains – stopping for a few pics on the way. Home to the ‘Top of Europe’, 72 waterfalls and one of the largest nature conservations in Switzerland – tonight we're bunking down in the jaw-dropping Swiss Alps. Sit back in the fresh alpine air with a cold beverage and crack open that new pack of playing cards. Who knows Rummy?
Day 4: Swiss Alps
If the Swiss Alps had a Tinder bio, it’d be: fun, outdoor enthusiast – looking for a fellow adrenaline junkie to share adventures with. And we’d swipe right. Skydiving over BEAUT snowcapped peaks. Helicopter-ing across epic glaciers. It’s all here. If you’re wanting something a bit more low-key, strap on the Nikes and walk the valley floor. Or hop on board the Jungfraubahn railway for an optional scenic excursion to the 'Top of Europe’. Expect seriously epic views and plenty of fairytale villages en route. Haven’t had cheese fondue yet? Go. Now.
Day 5: Swiss Alps – Pisa (Italy) – Florence
Meals Included: Breakfast
Buy that mini-fondue set. Down your coffee. And wave goodbye to Switzerland – we’re off to the land of the long boot. Ngl, today’s a bit of a drive day so make sure you have your travel pillow handy. We’ll break it up with a stop in Pisa where you can get your creative juices flowing for THAT photo with a particularly lopsided tower...Then, make your food baby sing as we roll into the birthplace of gelato: Florence. Tonight, it’s time to hunt down some of that hearty Tuscan cuisine you’ve been dreaming about – plus a scoop (or two) of the good stuff. Challenge: decide on your favourite flavour in two days.
Day 6: Florence
Florence has more stories than Bilbo Baggins, more culture than a London hipster AND it gave the world David (the massive marble naked guy FYI). We’ll get the lay of the land on a walking tour with a local guide. Then: take your new-found knowledge and hit the streets solo. Uffizi Gallery. Ponte Vecchio. Piazza della Signoria. The Duomo. You can’t see it all, but you sure as hell can try!
Day 7: Florence – Rome
Meals Included: Breakfast
You’ve got a free morning to soak up a lil more of Florence before we set the GPS for bella Roma! When we arrive, dump your stuff at your digs and then get your bearings on an orientation walk with your Tour Leader. Pass by the Pantheon, throw your two cents in the Trevi Fountain, (don’t) sit on the Spanish Steps and check out the mighty Colosseum. You're in Disneyland for foodies, so you know dinner tonight is gonna be good wherever you end up.
Day 8: Rome
Time to live out your Eat. Pray. Love. fantasies – today is all about Vespas, espresso, two-cheeked kisses and pizza (the way it’s supposed to taste). Get your fill of i-con-ic sights on an optional walking tour. It’s a toss up between Vatican City or Colosseum! Or fill up on delish pasta and wine during an optional food tour. Then do as the locals do and indulge in a little dolce far niente (delicious idleness) at a local cafe or piazza. Tonight, shake out those fat pants for round two. Thought you’d tried all the gelato flavours? Think again. Later: gather the gang and get ready to party Roman style (but with fewer togas, more cocktails).
Day 9: Rome – Venice
Meals Included: Breakfast
Order one more espresso in poor Italian (hey, you tried!) – we’re off to Venice after breakfast. You know it as The Floating City, but this place is actually sinking (slowly). Check out the usual suspects on an orientation walk with our Trip Leader – keep your eyes peeled for St Mark''s Square, Doge’s Palace and Accademia Bridge. Then: take a gondola ride down the Grand Canal. When in Venice, right? Dinner tonight is on you, what delicious carb-laden Italian meal haven’t you tried yet? Order two.
Day 10: Venice – Munich (Germany)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Next up? A country where beer is officially considered an essential food group (right next to sausage and sauerkraut). Helloooo Germany! We’ll kick things off with a walking tour of Munich, then it’s the moment you’ve been waiting for – an appropriate occasion to wear lederhosen. Head to the 428-year-old Hofbräuhaus for a royal Happy Hour experience or find the Chinese beer garden (or any beer garden for that matter) for a stein-sesh with your trip mates. Prost!
Day 11: Munich – Berlin
Meals Included: Breakfast
Another day, another food-obsessed European city. Berlin we love you. Prep yourself for currywurst, bratwurst and more hipsters per capita than anywhere else. We'll drive you around to see the main sights including (what's left of) the Berlin Wall, Zoo Gardens, the Holocaust Museum, Charlottenburg Palace and Alexanderplatz. Then: the afternoon is 100% up to you! Our suggestion? Head to Burgermeister: a public toilet turned best-burger-joint-in-Berlin. Trust us.
Day 12: Berlin
You’ve got 24 hrs here. Make the most of it. Our advice? Opt in for a historic walking tour that’s, you know, not boring. Get a local insight into what the city was like under Nazi rule and tick off the likes of the Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie and Brandenburg Gate. Or put those taste buds to the to the ultimate test on an awesome AF food tour. We’re talking kebabs, pastries, currywurst, pierogi and local beers (this is Germany after all). Tonight, it’s time to see whether the nightlife here really lives up to the hype.
Day 13: Berlin – Amsterdam (Netherlands)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Ok, nobody panic – we’ve only got two days left. But the adventure sure as hell isn’t over yet! We’ve got our eye on Amsterdam next – time to hit the cobblestones and explore. Check out the likes of Dam Square, the Royal Palace and the National Monument with your free time. This place is a foodie’s haven, so you’ll have no trouble finding somewhere to settle in for dinner. Try traditional Dutch pancakes (sweet/savoury/both at once) or head to the Foodhallen for alllll the world snacks. Later, make a beeline for a canalside wine bar or brewery to keep the good times rolling.
Day 14: Amsterdam
Meals Included: Dinner
This is our last full day. So don’t hang about – get on your bike! Check out Amsterdam's iconic canals, bridges and parks on an optional bike tour. Or for the history fiends – delve a bit deeper with a visit to the Anne Frank House (don’t forget to book in advance!). Culture more your thing? Hit the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum. Whatever you get up to, make sure you’re back in time for tonight’s group dinner – we’ll be going out with a bang.
Day 15: Amsterdam – London (England)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Two weeks. Six countries. Countless good times. What-an-epic-trip. After breakfast, it’s time to hit the road back to ol’ Blighty. Blast the Trip Song one last time and swap TikTok handles – you’ll need them to organise next year’s reunion!
