Highlights of Europe

Railbookers markets this 11-day, 10-night independent rail tour as a route through what it calls all the essential cities of Europe, running from Amsterdam to Rome. The journey opens with a high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris, continues through France to Geneva, then rides the rails through the scenery of the Alps on the way to Venice and Rome, both described as historic Italian cities. Because this is an independent package, travelers are not accompanied by a group leader between stops; Railbookers arranges the train travel while travelers manage their own time in each city. The evidence available to us does not specify how many nights are spent in each of the five cities. It suits travelers who want a classic, multi-country European rail trip covering well-known capitals and cities rather than off-the-beaten-path stops. Railbookers prices the tour from $3,099 USD per person.
