European Journey — 10 Days Europe Tour Package

Travel through dramatic Alpine valleys to the mountain village of Grindelwald, beneath the north face of the Eiger. Browse the chalets and Swiss shops, or take the optional cogwheel ascent to Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe at 11,333 feet, for the Ice Palace and the Sphinx observation deck. Transfer to Interlaken around 4:30 PM to walk the Höheweg and visit the Yash Raj monument before returning to Zurich.

Ascend Mt. Titlis to 10,000 feet aboard the Titlis RotAir, the world's first revolving cable car. At the summit, ride the Ice Flyer chairlift across the glacier crevasses and cross Europe's highest suspension bridge on the Cliff Walk, then take a buffet lunch on the mountain. Descend for an orientation tour of Lucerne — the Lion Monument, the covered Chapel Bridge and time for Swiss watch shopping — before returning to Zurich.

Check out and drive north to Schaffhausen for the Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Europe by volume, where a short boat ride carries you to the central rock. Continue into Germany's Black Forest — dense evergreen woodland, spa villages and the workshops that gave the world the cuckoo clock — before arriving in Frankfurt for the night.

Leave Frankfurt and follow the Rhine north to Cologne, where the Kölner Dom rises 157 metres over the river — a High Gothic masterpiece and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, six centuries in the building. After time at the cathedral square, continue across the border into the Netherlands and check in at Amsterdam.

In season, spend the morning at the Keukenhof bulb gardens at Lisse, where millions of tulips, hyacinths and daffodils are planted each year. Outside the flowering window the group visits Zaanse Schans instead — working windmills on the Zaan, a cheese farm and a clog-making workshop. The afternoon is an Amsterdam city tour taking in Dam Square, the Royal Palace and the Nieuwe Kerk, closing with a glass-roof cruise through the UNESCO-listed canal ring.

Check out and cross into Belgium. In Brussels, walk the Grand Place — a guildhall square long held to be one of the most beautiful in Europe — see the medieval Town Hall and the small bronze Manneken Pis, and drive past the Brabantine Gothic cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula. A photo halt at the Atomium, the nine-sphere iron crystal built for the 1958 World's Fair, closes the visit before the coach continues to Paris.

A guided city tour takes in the Place de la Concorde, the gilded Pont Alexandre III, the dome of Les Invalides over Napoleon's tomb, the Arc de Triomphe and the length of the Champs-Élysées. In the afternoon, ride the lift to the second level of the Eiffel Tower, 115 metres above the Champ de Mars, then board an open-deck cruise along the Seine past Notre-Dame, the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay.

Spend the day at Disneyland Paris on the optional one-day one-park ticket — the castle, the parades and the rides at Marne-la-Vallée — or stay in the city for a slower day of galleries, cafés and boulevard shopping. Whichever you choose, the group reconvenes around 6:00 PM and travels together to dinner.

Take breakfast, check out, and board the scheduled group transfer to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) departing at 10:00 AM. Your tour ends here.
