What's this trip about?

    Like the world’s most beloved tapestries hanging in Europe’s most famous museums, this 16-day tour of Europe intertwines stunning scenery, centuries-old culture, and the timeless stories of several captivating countries to present an unforgettable experience. From the canals of Amsterdam to the casinos of Monte Carlo, we’ve stitched together an exciting array of sights and scenes to truly capture the big picture of Europe. In addition to the stunning imagery of the castle-dotted Rhine Valley, the snow-dusted Swiss Alps, and the olive-clad Tuscan hills, you’ll be introduced to the artful subjects who help tell the tales of time—the woodcarvers of the Black Forest, the glassblowers of Venice, and the beer makers from Rhineland. A perfectly woven itinerary of fascinating cities, charming countryside, and creative cuisine, this multi-country tour threads together the most memorable sights and experiences of Europe. Don’t miss a stitch after your European Tapestry tour as a high-speed train weaves its way to London. Walk down the aisle where the endless train on Princess Diana’s wedding gown followed her to the altar at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Raise a pint in a pub or lift your gaze on the lofty London Eye with free time to spare as Big Ben chimes. A jolly good time!
