What’s included
Itinerary
Our incredible adventure begins as we gather at London St Pancras International and 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 on 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.
On arrival in Munich, we check into our 4-Star hotel just a short distance from the main train station. Located within sight of the Alps, lively and historic Munich is one of Germany's best-loved cities.

Well organised tour and friendly and efficient tour manager. Disappointed with last hotel in Interlaken as service and food not up to standard. All excursions, train, coach and ferry transfers good. Lovely travelling companions.
