Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to London, England!

Give this sophisticated city the royal wave hello and transfer to your luxurious accommodation from the airport. Settle in, then get exploring!

Take a walk along bustling Oxford Street or head over to trendy Covent Garden. Treat yourself to a first-night meal of iconic fish n' chips, perfectly paired with a pint, of course!

Day 2 London

Activate your 2-day hop-on/hop-off bus pass and explore London with ease! Pass by iconic sights like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. If you time your visit right, you can catch the daily Changing of the Guard. 

When you need a break from sightseeing, take a breather in Hyde Park. You might even catch a glimpse of Prince William and Kate at Kensington Palace!

Day 3 London

Recharge with a hearty English breakfast, then spend the day adventuring. Visit St. Paul's Cathedral and feel your eyes widen as you admire its grandeur! St. Paul's is surrounded by tons of London's very best sites, like the Museum of London and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and is a short walk from London Bridge, the Tower of London, and the Tower Bridge.

For an authentic taste of London, hit up Borough Market on Southwark Street! This market can be traced all the way back to 1014 and serves up the best British products, from fresh produce to aged cheddar.

Day 4 London - Brussels, Belgium

Say goodbye to London as you make your own way to St. Pancras Station for your train to Brussels. Enjoy the comfortable 2 hour ride, then you'll be transferred to your city center hotel. 

After settling in, start exploring! Your Brussels stay should undoubtedly begin at Grand Place, a huge city square encircled by elegant guildhouses dating back to the 14th century. 

Day 5 Brussels

Today, enjoy a private city tour taking you to all of Brussels' must-see places like Grand Place, Royal Palace and Cinquantenaire Park. 

After your tour, consider trying some of Brussels' famous cuisine! Grab a piping hot waffle or pick out a restaurant and try moules frites, a popular dish of mussels served with french fries. Wash it all down with a Belgian beer, of course!

Day 6 Brussels

One of Brussels most iconic and striking landmarks is the Atomium, a giant stainless steel atom originally constructed for the 1958 World Fair. Take photos in front of this striking structure or purchase a ticket to explore its interior.

At the foot of the Atomium is Mini-Europe, a miniature park with Europe's landmarks created on a scale of 1:25. See beautiful replicas of Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, Venice and more! 

Day 7 Depart Belgium

Your London-Brussels adventure ends today. At the appropriate time, you'll be transferred to the airport for your flight home.

Because of unexpected situations, I need to cancel reservations not postpone. We had to go forth with the trip but had to leave earlier than first planned.

Hotel in Santorini was nowhere near anything and breakfast was terrible. Other people with GV had great locations. I guess we good the short end of the stick . We arrived very late in Crete and ended up only having one full day there. Would have better to have a hotel near the airport for our last night.

The ability to stay at different B&B each night as we travel across Ireland and Scotland was wonderful. Now staying and traveling in Scotland can cost over the initial sale price due to most accommodation cost more than the allowance provided and the rental car insurance cannot be purchased in advance. Car insurance and a hold on you credit card will cost several hundred dollars on the spot at Enterprise Car Rental. The Vacation was a success but with vehicle upgrade, B&Bs that were available, car insurance, and hold on credit card all was $2000 extra. It was a great experience and i would do it again.
