Travel between: From 29...

DAY 1 London (England) – Paris (France)Meet the crew in London and load up the coach – we’re hitting the road early to jump across the channel. The home of Coco Chanel, the Mona Lisa and world’s craziest roundabout – Paris deserves its rep as the European capital for all things culture, fashion and bloody good food. Get to know the City of Love with a driving tour. Then? Switch Paris mode ON and get exploring! The first holy-sh*t-we're-really-here optional activity to tick off: an evening cruise down the River Seine.DAY 2 ParisThis is your day, your way. So make every second count. Create a solid dent in your bucket list with a visit to the Louvre (get your tix in advance!). Snap a pic of the Arc de Triomphe. Wander the Champs Elysées. Or discover the hidden back-streets on your own. Walking not your thing? Stretch out those legs on an optional bike tour. Tonight, it’s time for a delish meal with the gang. Then dress to impress for an optional cabaret show. Think: sparking lights, death-defining acrobatics, OTT costumes and the can-can (of course).DAY 3 Paris – Swiss Alps (Switzerland)Trade in Parisian streets for snowy peaks. Warm up those vocal cords, we’ll be blasting some tunes on the ride into the mountains – stopping for a few pics on the way. Home to the ‘Top of Europe’, 72 waterfalls and one of the largest nature conservations in Switzerland – tonight we're bunking down in the jaw-dropping Swiss Alps. Sit back in the fresh alpine air with a cold beverage and crack open that new pack of playing cards. Who knows Rummy?DAY 4 Swiss AlpsIf the Swiss Alps had a Tinder bio, it’d be: fun, outdoor enthusiast – looking for a fellow adrenaline junkie to share adventures with. And we’d swipe right. Skydiving over BEAUT snowcapped peaks. Helicopter-ing across epic glaciers. It’s all here. If you’re wanting something a bit more low-key, strap on the Nikes and walk the valley floor. Or hop on board the Jungfraubahn railway for an optional scenic excursion to the 'Top of Europe’. Expect seriously epic views and plenty of fairytale villages en route. Haven’t had cheese fondue yet? Go. Now.DAY 5 Swiss Alps – Pisa (Italy) – FlorenceBuy that mini-fondue set. Down your coffee. And wave goodbye to Switzerland – we’re off to the land of the long boot. Ngl, today’s a bit of a drive day so make sure you have your travel pillow handy. We’ll break it up with a stop in Pisa where you can get your creative juices flowing for THAT photo with a particularly lopsided tower...Then, make your food baby sing as we roll into the birthplace of gelato: Florence. Tonight, it’s time to hunt down some of that hearty Tuscan cuisine you’ve been dreaming about – plus a scoop (or two) of the good stuff. Challenge: decide on your favourite flavour in two days.DAY 6 FlorenceFlorence has more stories than Bilbo Baggins, more culture than a London hipster AND it gave the world David (the massive marble naked guy FYI). We’ll get the lay of the land on a walking tour with a local guide. Then: take your new-found knowledge and hit the streets solo. Uffizi Gallery. Ponte Vecchio. Piazza della Signoria. The Duomo. You can’t see it all, but you sure as hell can try!DAY 7 Florence – RomeYou’ve got a free morning to soak up a lil more of Florence before we set the GPS for bella Roma! When we arrive, dump your stuff at your digs and then get your bearings on an orientation walk with your Tour Leader. Pass by the Pantheon, throw your two cents in the Trevi Fountain, (don’t) sit on the Spanish Steps and check out the mighty Colosseum. You're in Disneyland for foodies, so you know dinner tonight is gonna be good wherever you end up.DAY 8 RomeTime to live out your Eat. Pray. Love. fantasies – today is all about Vespas, espresso, two-cheeked kisses and pizza (the way it’s supposed to taste). Get your fill of i-con-ic sights on an optional walking tour. It’s a toss up between Vatican City or Colosseum! Or fill up on delish pasta and wine during an optional food tour. Then do as the locals do and indulge in a little dolce far niente (delicious idleness) at a local cafe or piazza. Tonight, shake out those fat pants for round two. Thought you’d tried all the gelato flavours? Think again. Later: gather the gang and get ready to party Roman style (but with fewer togas, more cocktails).DAY 9 Rome – VeniceOrder one more espresso in poor Italian (hey, you tried!) – we’re off to Venice after breakfast. You know it as The Floating City, but this place is actually sinking (slowly). Check out the usual suspects on an orientation walk with our Trip Leader – keep your eyes peeled for St Mark''s Square, Doge’s Palace and Accademia Bridge. Then: take a gondola ride down the Grand Canal. When in Venice, right? Dinner tonight is on you, what delicious carb-laden Italian meal haven’t you tried yet? Order two.DAY 10 Venice – Munich (Germany)Next up? A country where beer is officially considered an essential food group (right next to sausage and sauerkraut). Helloooo Germany! We’ll kick things off with a walking tour of Munich, then it’s the moment you’ve been waiting for – an appropriate occasion to wear lederhosen. Head to the 428-year-old Hofbräuhaus for a royal Happy Hour experience or find the Chinese beer garden (or any beer garden for that matter) for a stein-sesh with your trip mates. Prost!DAY 11 Munich – BerlinAnother day, another food-obsessed European city. Berlin we love you. Prep yourself for currywurst, bratwurst and more hipsters per capita than anywhere else. We'll drive you around to see the main sights including (what's left of) the Berlin Wall, Zoo Gardens, the Holocaust Museum, Charlottenburg Palace and Alexanderplatz. Then: the afternoon is 100% up to you! Our suggestion? Head to Burgermeister: a public toilet turned best-burger-joint-in-Berlin. Trust us.DAY 12 BerlinYou’ve got 24 hrs here. Make the most of it. Our advice? Opt in for a historic walking tour that’s, you know, not boring. Get a local insight into what the city was like under Nazi rule and tick off the likes of the Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie and Brandenburg Gate. Or put those taste buds to the to the ultimate test on an awesome AF food tour. We’re talking kebabs, pastries, currywurst, pierogi and local beers (this is Germany after all). Tonight, it’s time to see whether the nightlife here really lives up to the hype.DAY 13 Berlin – Amsterdam (Netherlands)Ok, nobody panic – we’ve only got two days left. But the adventure sure as hell isn’t over yet! We’ve got our eye on Amsterdam next – time to hit the cobblestones and explore. Check out the likes of Dam Square, the Royal Palace and the National Monument with your free time. This place is a foodie’s haven, so you’ll have no trouble finding somewhere to settle in for dinner. Try traditional Dutch pancakes (sweet/savoury/both at once) or head to the Foodhallen for alllll the world snacks. Later, make a beeline for a canalside wine bar or brewery to keep the good times rolling.DAY 14 AmsterdamThis is our last full day. So don’t hang about – get on your bike! Check out Amsterdam's iconic canals, bridges and parks on an optional bike tour. Or for the history fiends – delve a bit deeper with a visit to the Anne Frank House (don’t forget to book in advance!). Culture more your thing? Hit the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum. Whatever you get up to, make sure you’re back in time for tonight’s group dinner – we’ll be going out with a bang.DAY 15 Amsterdam – London (England)Two weeks. Six countries. Countless good times. What-an-epic-trip. After breakfast, it’s time to hit the road back to ol’ Blighty. Blast the Trip Song one last time and swap TikTok handles – you’ll need them to organise next year’s reunion!

BUT you’ve got banging tunes and scenic views to keep you occupied – not to mention your sick AF trip mates. Home to the ‘Top of Europe’, rushing waterfalls and one of the largest nature conservations in Switzerland – tonight we're bunking down in the jaw-dropping Swiss Alps. Sit back in the fresh (read: freezing) alpine air with a steaming cup of glühwein and crack open that new pack of playing cards. Good luck dealing in mittens.DAY 4 Swiss AlpsIf the Swiss Alps had a Tinder bio it would read: fun-filled outdoor enthusiast – looking for a fellow adrenalin-lovin'-snow-bunny to share adventures with. Swiping right? Skydiving over BEAUT snowcapped peaks. Helicopter-ing across epic glaciers. This place has it all. More of a thrill-dodger? Jump aboard the Jungfraubahn railway and get all the white-washed summit views (minus the effort). Then put those elastic waistbands to the test. We’re talking creamy Swiss hot chocolate, gooey cheese fondue, carb-filled potato rösti and älplermagronen (think: mac ‘n’ cheese, but better).DAY 5 Swiss Alps – Pisa (Italy) – FlorenceStart practising your Italian coffee order – we’re heading to the land of the long boot. First stop: Pisa. If you’re gonna take THAT photo, think of something unique. Please. Then, make your food baby sing as we roll into the capital of Tuscan cuisine and birthplace of gelato. Fact: you can still sample a scoop or two of the good stuff in winter (judgement-free). Tonight: head to a karaoke bar to ballad-battle your trip mates. Someone picked Frozen before your turn? Let it go...DAY 6 FlorenceFlorence has more stories than you can poke a stick at, more culture than a Melbourne hipster AND it gave the world David (putting dad bods to shame since 1504). We’ll get the lay of the land on an in-depth walking tour with a local guide. Then: take your new-found knowledge and hit the streets solo. Uffizi Gallery. Ponte Vecchio. Piazza della Signoria. The Duomo. You can’t see it all, but you sure as hell can try! Tonight, clink glasses with your trip buds on an optional tipsy tour of Florence’s best local bars. Salute! Or rug up and head to Piazzale Michelangelo – even in winter, the sunset is redic.DAY 7 Florence – Orvieto – RomeOnwards! First: a pit stop at the hilltop town of Orvieto – to see the grand cathedral and dig into a wild boar panini (unless you’re vegetarian, soz). Then: bella Roma awaits. We’ll get our bearings of this iconic ancient city on an orientation walk with our Trip Leader. Pass by the Pantheon, (don’t) sit on the Spanish Steps, check out the mighty Colosseum and throw your two cents in the Trevi Fountain. Then, gather the gang and go show that pizza who’s boss.DAY 8 RomeYou’ve watched (or been made to watch) Eat. Pray. Love. Now, it’s time to make like Julia and put this city to the test. You have 48 hours of freedom to explore. Count your blessings on an optional tour of Vatican City, then play ‘I-spy’ with two-and-a-half millennia worth of history. Get your steps in on a different optional tour. This time it includes three I-CON-IC sights: Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum.

Float past the famous Rialto Bridge on a gondola ride. Spend your time seeking out the epic Libreria Acqua Alta bookshop. Get lost amongst the misty alleyways and shimmering piazzas. Then find yourself next to a roaring fire with a mug of hot vin brulé.
