How do we select the hotel options? We want to be sure we stay in the same hotel room with our two children, ages 13 and 15

As there will be 4 of you travelling (2 adults, 2 children), you may book 2x Twin Room where each room will have 1x Adult and 1x Child. We are unable to assign you all 4 to just one room. Or you can also select 1x Triple Room and 1x Single Room where 1x Adult and 2x Children can be in a the Triple Room and 1x Adult on the Single Room.

is this available for july

Yes! There are two dates in July: Jul 15, 2024 - Jul 22, 2024 Jul 29, 2024 - Aug 5, 2024. Both dates are Guaranteed Departures and filling up FAST!

Is it possible to do this tour but not the last two days? We need to be in Lille on the 3rd August so would need to leave on Day 5.

Yes, it is an option. However, you would be reserving 3 spaces for the entire tour so there would be no discount for leaving early. May I ask how old the child will be at the time of travel?

Is there a list of optional tours available for my group of 8 people departing in late July 2024?

Here are the optional experiences for our European Dream tour: Day 2 Options: - Vatican & Roman Forum Tour (€95 per person) - Rome City Walking Tour (€44 per person) - Roman Evening with Dinner (€71 per person) Day 3 Options: - Tuscan Hills Dinner (€74 per person) - Villa Machiavelli Dinner (€74 per person) Day 4 Options: - Michelangelo's David & Accademia Tour (€54 per person) - Palazzo Vecchio Tour (€46 per person) - Venice Gondola & Canal Cruise (€84 per person) Other days include optional experiences like Mount Stanserhorn cruise, Paris Seine Cruise, Versailles Palace Tour, and London Tower visit. All optional experiences are subject to availability and prices may change.

How do we get from Paris to London? Says last day ends in Paris but details say the tour ends in London?

Beginning in April 2024, European Dream will include an 8-day tour of Italy, Switzerland, and France (starting in Rome and ending in Paris). If you are interested in the tour on August 12, 2024, it is available but not definite. The approximate cost for a single room is $3095, a twin share is $2595, and a triple share is $2585.

I was just wondering whether it is possible to take a 22 month old on this tour?

We do not work with any tour operators offering scheduled, group coach tours in Europe for children under five years old. The reason for this, is the tour itineraries keep you very busy and the drives from city to city are often quite long.

My husband and did the 10 day European Dream Tour. It was an absolute whirlwind! Our tour director, Deborah, was super sweet, incredibly knowledgeable, and on point with keeping 50 individuals on time. We opted for all the extra excursions, which for the most part, were amazing. However, that took away from having much free time to ourselves and was exhausting. We had to be up and ready very early (I'm not the best morning person) and sometimes got back to the hotel around 10:00 to 10:30. We weren't overly impressed with the food we were served and would have liked to have chosen our own restaurants. We went during the holidays, so everywhere we went was lit up beautifully and were blessed with gorgeous weather! You'll do a lot of walking so make sure you have comfortable walking shoes. When we got to London, this is where Deborah leaves and we were transferred to a local representative. This was actually wonderful for us and we went out exploring on our own and had an amazing time! Please bring cold remedies as you are sure to share space with individuals catching colds (especially if you go during the winter). We have no regrets doing this tour, but the definitely jam pack a lot in and is tiring. Enjoy!Show more

Lovely, well organised tour, felt completely taken care of. Didn't have to worry about anything. Without optionals, there wasnt much to do so ended up taking all but one optionals. Found the optionals experience completely worth it. Coach service was excellent till Paris with Fabio as the driver. London coach seats were hard and smaller. Met some lovely fellow travellers. Best part is when everybody is well taken care of, the atmosphere becomes friendly and polite. In future also, will opt for group tours only. Trafalgar will definitely be in consideration set. Thanks for planning such a beautiful and comfortable trip.Show more
