Roman Road Package 10 Days
overview
Roman Road
Staying in hotels full of character, our journey from London goes via Paris, the Swiss Alps, past the glamorous French Riviera and onto the Renaissance beauty of Florence. Ready? Let’s go.
Worth noting…
A Sector trip is part of a larger journey, meaning your new friends might continue on or after you leave, or you might be joining a trip already in progress. This trip is a sector of the Europe Uncovered.
Itinerary
All good things start with Paris. Meet the crew, grab some supplies and hit the road early in the morning as we jump across the English Channel. Pinch yourself and Instagram your first selfie before we kick off the trip with a driving tour and picnic next to the Eiffel Tower. Home to Coco Chanel, the Pompidou Centre and the Mona Lisa, Paris more than deserves its reputation as the European capital for all things culture, fashion and food. Now’s your chance to find out why.
