Day-by-day itinerary
Met at the airport and driven into the city, with the first evening along the Seine and the Eiffel Tower lit after dark. Overnight in Paris.
The Eiffel Tower with pre-booked tickets in the morning, the Trocadéro across the river, then a guided route through the Louvre in the afternoon. A one-hour river cruise in the evening. Overnight in Paris.
Sacré-Cœur and the lanes of Montmartre in the morning and the Marais in the afternoon — or a day at Versailles or Disneyland Paris, both pre-booked on request. Overnight in Paris.
An hour and twenty minutes north to Brussels. The Grand Place and its guild houses, the Manneken Pis a few streets away, and the Galeries Royales for chocolate; the evening on the square when it is floodlit. Overnight in Brussels.
An hour by train to Bruges for the morning and early afternoon — the market square and the belfry, a canal boat, the Church of Our Lady — then back through Brussels and north to Amsterdam by early evening, with a first walk along the canals. Overnight in Amsterdam.
The Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum with timed entries in the morning, then the half-day out to the windmills of Zaanse Schans and the harbour at Volendam — or Keukenhof in tulip season. A canal cruise in the evening as the lights come on. Overnight in Amsterdam.
