About this trip
Thirteen days on the rails through some of Western Europe's best-known cities and coastline, from Paris down to Rome. You cover a lot of ground, with train travel doing the heavy lifting between stops.
Expect city wandering in Paris and Rome, coastal trail walks in Cinque Terre, a look at the casino scene in Monte Carlo, and some downtime on the French Riviera. It moves fast and covers a wide sweep of France and Italy.
Travelling as part of a small group throughout, with everything guided so you're not working out train times or routes yourself.
