A thoughtfully planned holiday experience.
See eight countries in ten days and ring in the New Year in Rome on this fixed-departure group tour, leaving on 23 December 2026.
The route runs from Paris, with the Eiffel Tower, Versailles and a Seine cruise, through Brussels, the Netherlands, Heidelberg and the Black Forest to the Rhine Falls and Switzerland, where you visit Lucerne and Mt. Titlis. You then cross the Alps to Innsbruck, take a private boat to St. Mark's Square in Venice, and finish in Rome with St. Peter's Basilica, the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain on New Year's Eve.
A professional tour manager travels with the group throughout, you stay in 3 and 4-star hotels, and Indian lunches and dinners with Jain, vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are included, along with two gala dinners for Christmas and New Year's Eve.
