Our tour will be a treasured experience. Based on extensive knowledge and many years of travel on the Continent we can offer the best European tour available.
Venice and the Veneto
We head out from the UK to our first stop - Venice, Europe’s masterpiece. We cruise across the lagoon to visit this unique city where there are no roads, only canals. Visit the Bridge of Sighs or St. Mark’s Square, explore the backstreets or relax on a gondola ride. Throughout our time in Italy we stay in three-star hotels.
Sights and sounds of Rome
Rome, the capital of Italy, boasts a stunning array of sights to match its celebrated past – from the well-preserved Colosseum and the triumphal arches to the intriguing Catacombs, from the elaborate Vatican City to the beautiful Trevi Fountain.
Tuscany and the Italian Lakes
The highlights of Tuscany are the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa and the architectural magnificence of Florence. After visiting these sights, we enjoy relaxing in the magnificent Alpine region of Lake Maggiore, famed for its temperate climate and breathtaking beauty.
Picture postcard country of Switzerland
Cuckoo clocks, yodelling, chocolate and cheese make up the picture postcard country of Switzerland. Our journey from Italy will take us through this beautiful country, stopping to visit Lucerne.
The beautiful Austrian Alps
The Austrian Tirol is a land of beautiful scenery, with rushing streams and small villages nestling at the foot of mighty mountains. We stay in a friendly three-star hotel in the heart of this wonderful region and explore its highlights.
Ancient towns and amazing natural displays
Innsbruck is an ancient university town with narrow, irregular streets and its famous 15th-century Golden Roof. At the spectacular Krimml Waterfalls, the water bounces off the rocks as it crashes from a height of 380m. We also take the opportunity to explore Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart and the setting for ‘The Sound of Music’. You can even take a tour to explore the places where the film was made, such as the castle that was used as the Von Trapp family home.
The fairy-tale castles of Bavaria
Bavaria, in Germany, is a beautiful region of picturesque towns and stunning castles. Arguable the most impressive is the Neuschwanstein castle, built by King Ludwig II. The drive up through the hills is a beautiful one as you start to catch glimpses of the fairy-tale castle rising above the trees.
The chic city of Paris
Paris, the cosmopolitan, capital of France has so much to explore! The amazing range of sights includes the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre and Champs Elysées. You can also sit and sip coffee at a Parisian pavement café and watch the world go by or take a cruise on the River Seine.
London and the countryside home of Oak Hall
As a fitting start and end of our tour, we will welcome you to Otford Manor, the home of Oak Hall, for the first two and last two nights. From here we will have the opportunity to explore Kent, 'the Garden of England', and London, with its wealth of famous landmarks.
Excellent value
The cost includes transport into Venice and Rome from the hotels and transport to Siena, Pisa, Florence, Salzburg, Krimml and Neuschwanstein castle on excursion days. In the evenings we meet together for a helpful Bible talk.
