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! Please note: City taxes may not be included in your room rate. If this is the case, you will be required to pay the hotel in destination. City taxes vary by hotel and are subject to change without notice, but typically are approximately 5 Euro per person, per night.
