Itinerary

Gather round, European explorers, gather round. Your voluptuous vegan adventure begins today. Starting out in London, we'll quickly make our way to our first destination. Amsterdam, here we come. Shortly before we find our ferry for Europe, we'll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover. They owe their gorgeousness to their composition of chalk - you're learning and we haven't even left the UK! Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil!

Next we journey to Amsterdam! And here we are at our final stop for this evening: Amsterdam! We'll start our exploration of this city with a peek of canals, bicycles & 17th century gable houses lit up by night. Next on the agenda tonight, we'll bond over an included vegan dinner, and then you'll have the chance to join an optional evening canal cruise. (D) Stay: Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam North Riverside (or similar)

This morning you're free to explore Amsterdam, checking out the storybook streets, quaint bookshops and charming cafes however you like.

This afternoon, we'll say 'Vaarwel! ' because we're setting off for our next country, Germany.

Welcome to Frankfurt, a historical haven known for its sausages and waterways. You're free to explore however you like tonight but first, your Trip Manager will give you a brief orientation (and point out some of their fave vegan food spots too! ) (B) Stay: A conveniently located hotel

Rise and shine, folks. You're free to explore Frankfurt some more this morning. In the mood for an early afternoon beer (you're on holiday after all)? You'll find plenty of vegan options here. Sticking to coffee and fresh air? You'll find plenty of that too. "Prost! ”. Here in the home of Oktoberfest we'll take a locally guided tour of the city, and amuse ourselves watching the antics of mechanical figurines in the city's famous Glockenspiel. Making the most of our time in Munich this evening, we'll get introduced to 800 years of history at a traditional Bavarian beer hall. (B) Stay: Holiday Inn Express Munich City West (or similar)

'Auf Wiedersehen' Munich, we're off to tick more countries off our list. This morning we'll climb aboard our coach ready for a scenic roll through the Bavarian Alps, past fairytale castles and rambling vineyards, en route to Austria. Drive through Austria without getting out to say hello? Never! We'll take a brief stop-off in Innsbruck, a laid-back student city famous for its medieval old town, old Olympic Ski Jump & Royal Palace. Ah, Venice! Lilting accents, lavish views, romantic architecture... we've officially arrived in one of Italy's most famous cities.

Tonight we'll relax here, knowing we have all day tomorrow to cruise canals & explore picturesque cobbled streets. (B) Stay: Hotel Ambra Quarto Daltino (or similar)

Buongiorno! Venice is ours for a full and glorious Italian day. We'll start exploring The Floating City by jumping aboard our own private motoscaffo boat and cruising the canals en route to the historical heart of the city. Next, you have the chance to discover hidden Venice with a guided walking tour, take a traditional gondola ride, or just explore these cobbled streets on your own.

Tonight, you can choose to sign up for a 3-course Venetian vegan dinner. (B)

With a few days left, it's time to say 'ciao' to our time in Venice. We'll never forget you, city of canals and beauty, but Switzerland is calling us. Back on our coach we'll pass Lake Como as we cruise out of Italy and head onwards and upwards toward the Swiss Alps. With magical views unfolding outside our windows, we'll find ourselves in Switzerland, pulling up in the fairytale town of Lucerne, famous for its wooden bridges, cobbled lanes and beautiful setting against the lake it's named after. Here we'll visit the wooden chapel bridge and Lion Monument. (B) Stay: Ibis Budget Luzern City (or similar)

It's been sweet, but our time in Lucerne is up this morning. We're Paris-bound! Out with the altitude, in with the inner-city Parisian bliss. We'll jump back onto our coach to cross the border out of Switzerland and (back) into France. After coasting through the pretty wine producing region of Burgundy, we'll arrive in the City of Lights.

Lamp-lit bridges, a sparkling Eiffel Tower and late-night coffee haunts, this evening we'll fall in love with everything Paris on a dreamy night-time tour. Is it just us, or is love in the air? Once we've seen the most famous landmarks, we'll celebrate our first night in the city by heading out for a vegan Parisian dinner - included of course! (B/D) Stay: Ibis Paris Porte D'Orleans Hotel (or similar)

There's plenty of time to lust over designer haute couture or French vintage stores, admire the Notre Dame Cathedral, order coffee or get artsy at the many museums of the Louvre. We'll also head up the Montparnasse Tower for the best panoramic views of the city.

Tonight's your chance to get involved with VIP seats and a fully vegan dinner at the iconic Moulin Rouge cabaret show. With your last night looming, this is the perfect way to make it one to remember. Get ready to go out with a bang! (B)

Rise, shine, and soak up your last dose of Paris this morning over coffee and one final breakfast. It may be over for now, but these friendships and memories will last a lifetime. Our last coach ride together will be a complimentary transfer to CDG airport this morning, or you can stay onboard for the full ride back to London. Plenty of time to start planning the next reunion... What an adventure! Say a fond farewell to the group as you wrap up the trip on arrival in London. (B)
