About this trip
A fast-moving week through some of Europe's big-name cities, travelling entirely by train rather than coach.
You'll go from Rome to the French Riviera, on to Pisa, and finish in Barcelona, taking in famous sights, plenty of walking, and no shortage of good food along the way.
It's a straightforward, easy-paced group trip in style, but the itinerary itself covers a lot of ground in seven days.
What you'll do
- Explore Rome at the start of the trip
- See Nice and the French Riviera
- Get the classic photo at the Leaning Tower of Pisa
- Take in Gaudí's architecture in Barcelona
- Travel between cities by train
- Eat your way across Italy, France and Spain
- Fast-paced — you change city every day or two
- Expect a fair amount of walking between sights
- Trains, not coaches, are used for all inter-city travel
Worth it if you're after a sociable, fast-paced week hitting multiple Italian highlights with a strong guide. Think twice if you need a slower pace or arrive late on day one.
- CEOs genuinely invested: Alfie and Alfonso communicated via WhatsApp with food tips, looked after solo travellers like family.
- Seven days is relentless—arrival on day one afternoon means missing Rome; adding 1-2 buffer days strongly recommended.
- High activity level: constant walking, stair climbing across multiple locations in quick succession is physically demanding.
- Group bonding happens fast; strangers become close friends, though you can break away solo and rejoin anytime.
