The spires and cobblestones of the Marienplatz in Munich are straight out of the Middle Ages.

In Venice, the din of cars and trucks is replaced by the gentle hum of motorboats and water taxis. In Rome, Paris, and London, equally rich histories blend with the buzz of a modern metropolis—the ancient Colosseum and symbolic Arc de Triomphe are a stone’s throw from trendy restaurants and cafés.

Due to national and/or religious holidays, some sites may be closed and your itinerary may be modified on the following dates in 2026: March 19, April 3-8, May 1, June 29, and August 14-15. These dates fluctuate each year—please contact us for more information.
