About this trip
A 20-day train journey across Europe, starting in Rome and finishing in Paris, taking in ten countries along the way. You move by rail from city to city, with cobblestoned old towns, ancient sites, and a good mix of culture and nightlife built into the route.
The pace leans easy — plenty of free time and optional activities mean you shape a fair chunk of each stop yourself, whether that's exploring on foot, cycling, getting out on the water, or finding the local bars and dance floors.
This is a fully guided group trip, so the logistics are handled, but how you spend your days is largely up to you.
What you'll do
- Travel overland by train between cities across ten European countries
- Wander cobblestoned streets and see ancient sculptures and sites
- Visit thermal baths along the route
- Experience local beer halls and nightlife
- Free time in each city to explore at your own pace
- Optional activities let you tailor the trip to your interests
- Easy pace with a lot of unstructured free time — good for travellers who want flexibility rather than a packed itinerary
- Long trip length (20 days) covering multiple countries, so expect frequent city changes
Worth it if you're solo or new to travel and value flexibility over rigid itineraries. Think twice if you need total independence or prefer smaller groups.
- CEOs genuinely excellent; consistently praised as resourceful, welcoming, and brilliant guides throughout.
- Mix of group activities and solo freedom means you explore at your own pace, not locked into fixed schedules.
- Four smaller interconnected tours mean rotating groups; you meet dozens of new people rather than same 15 faces.
- Trip composed of four separate tours strung together; expect logistical transitions and repeated newcomers mid-journey.
