European Highlights

Start & end in Rome 10 days Up to 50

About this trip

This is a coach tour that moves fast, starting in Rome and cutting across seven countries in 10 days. It's built around ticking off the big names rather than lingering in any one place.

You'll cover a lot of ground, from the Swiss Alps to the canals of Venice and the Eiffel Tower, with local meals along the way and a good mix of cities, scenery and culture.

It suits people who want a broad first taste of Europe's landmarks in one go, travelling by coach with a group.

What you'll do

  • Start the tour in Rome
  • See the Eiffel Tower in Paris
  • Cross the Swiss Alps
  • Follow the Rhine River
  • Explore the canals of Venice
Good to know
  • Fast-paced — you cover seven countries in 10 days, so most stops are short
  • Travel is by coach, with a new sight or city most days
  • Better suited to those after a highlights overview than slow, in-depth exploration
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you're fit, flexible on itineraries, and budget an extra £1,500–2,000 beyond the advertised price. Think twice if you need leisurely days, guaranteed Rome time, or can't handle early starts and rapid walking.

  • Guides (Antonio, Edgar, Rachelle) consistently deliver deep local knowledge, humour, and genuine care for group dynamics.
  • Itinerary doesn't always match marketing: one group paid for Rome but saw none despite start/end in the city.
  • Real cost averages £2,500–4,000 once you add tips (£300), optional experiences (£1,000+), and solo room premiums.
  • Relentless pace with early mornings and fast walking; lunches often grabbed at service stations; not suitable for limited mobility.
