Overview
Imagine this: you land in Milan on a Friday, and by the next Friday you've stood in Paris, walked through Brussels, and drifted along the canals of Amsterdam, with a Russian-speaking guide beside you. Wonder greets you in Milan, in front of the Duomo and outside the legendary La Scala, and on the optional trip to Lake Como, where emperors and film stars have come for centuries.
Romance waits in fairytale Strasbourg and in Paris, where the Eiffel Tower sparkles like champagne bubbles on the optional evening tour. Joy fills the Netherlands, with its canals, windmills and fresh farmhouse cheese. Awe rises in Bavaria, where Neuschwanstein, the castle that inspired Sleeping Beauty's, stands among the Alps. Enchantment closes the journey in Verona and Venice, where you'll sail past the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. And when it's over, you'll bring home more than photos: the taste of coffee and pasta, the sound of church bells, and the quiet pride of saying, "I saw it all."
