What’s included
Itinerary
Our fantastic alpine holiday begins as we meet our fellow travellers and Tour Manager at London St Pancras to join the Eurostar service to Brussels in Standard Premier Class, enjoying a light meal at our seats. From the Belgian capital, we travel to Cologne and onwards through Germany to Munich in First Class.
The route passes through rolling wooded hills on its way to Frankfurt before heading through the old Swabian towns of Ulm and Augsburg before arriving in the Bavarian capital of Munich tonight. Located within sight of the Alps, Munich is one of Germany's best-loved cities and blends historic architecture and vibrant culture. Our 4-Star hotel is just a short distance from the main train station and after check-in, we can look forward to exploring this intriguing city in the morning.

Too full on for our taste. Very long days and very tiring.We think more should have been pointed out about this iSn brochure details. St Moritz hotel very disappointing and not customer friendly Tour Manager was first class and there were a number of excellent individual experiences .

The food was mediocre, some of the hotels were below expectations. Had to walk from every train to hotel, many times in the rain. Many glitches that changed the itinerary. Would not book with this company again,

Our tour guide Ivan Mayers kept our group of 28 informed with a written itinerary and verbal updates the day before. The scenes were absolutely glorious. The restaurants in all our locations were outstanding with ample choice.
