About the tour
A holiday which combines an iconic rail trip to the 'Top of Europe' and a stay in beautiful Interlaken with the stunning landscapes of a luxurious Rhine Cruise.
Starting from our base in the picturesque town of Interlaken, nestled between two serene Alpine lakes, enjoy the breathtaking views of the Bernese Oberland as we take a scenic journey on the Jungfrau Express to the 'Top of Europe'.
Then, we set sail to the captivating towns of Heidelberg and Rüdesheim, before cruising through the beautiful Rhine Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage site adorned with stunning castles, lush forests, and sprawling vineyards.
For the perfect ending, we journey on the Drachenfelsbahn railway, explore the vibrant city of Cologne, and tour the lively streets of Amsterdam.

Can't fault the company, we should have done more research about The Rhine river, most parts were very industrial.

Overall pretty good trip , some of the excursions could have been a bit better, especially the Medemblik steam railway. No time in Medemblik at all which was very disappointing.

A great holiday with the weather making the Jungfrau visit the holiday highlight. The Rhine cruise was a good experience too with a nice, sunny day for viewing all the castles from Rudesheim. The Amadeus Cara was a spendid boat to sail on with all the crew so helpful and friendly.
