What's this trip about?

    Three iconic European cities, one unforgettable vacation. Experience a bit of French 'joie de vivre' in Paris, savor a cup of tea and scones in London and pass rows of tulips and vibrant houseboats in Amsterdam. Land in Paris, France's capital and "City of Light." Spend three nights touring one iconic landmark after another while enjoy the city's delicious food and wine. Wave hello to Mona Lisa at the Louvre, then get lost in the labyrinth of cobbled lanes in the Latin Quarter! Hop on the Eurostar train as you cross the English Channel into London, England's bustling metropolis. Take in sweeping views of the city from your glass pod on the London Eye, shop until you drop in Knightsbridge, and enjoy a pint with a Londoner in a traditional pub.  Your last stop brings you to Amsterdam, a charming, eclectic city set on canals. Visit the Dutch masters at Rijksmuseum, enjoy a picnic among idyllic gardens and ponds in Vondelpark, and take a tour of the Heineken brewery!

Day 1 Welcome to Paris, France!

Say "bonjour" to Paris! After transferring to your hotel, scratch a few of Paris' most famous landmarks off your bucket list today: The Eiffel Tower, the Champs Elysees, and Arc de Triomphe. If time allows, head up to Montmartre to see the Sacre Coeur and stunning views of twinkling Paris as the sun goes down.

Day 2 Paris

Activate your hop-on/hop-off bus pass and explore Paris with ease. Pass some of the most iconic sights, from the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe, to Grand Palais and the Louvre. 

In the afternoon, pick your favorite museum and spend a few hours admiring ...

Day 3 Paris

Continue using your 2-day sightseeing pass today. Take a break at one of Paris' most well-known green spaces, Jardin du Luxembourg in the 6th arrondissement. Relax, people watch, or bring a picnic lunch and eat like a local!

Day 4 Paris - London, England

Day 7 London - Amsterdam, Netherlands

Say goodbye to London and "hallo" to Amsterdam! Take the Eurostar to Amsterdam, settle in, and get exploring! Stop at a local bakery and pick up a stroopwafel, a beloved Dutch treat of two thin waffles with a sweet caramel-like filling.

Day 8 Amsterdam

No visit to Amsterdam would be complete without a visit to Dam Square, a popular gathering place since the 17th century, flanked by the Royal Palace.
