Day 4 London-Brussels, Belgium-Amsterdam, Holland. 
Meet your tour director and traveling companions and transfer to London’s Waterloo International Station to board the ultra-modern Eurostar train to Brussels, Belgium.

After a welcome drink at the hotel, you may want to join your tour director for an optional Dutch dinner with local specialties. (Full
Breakfast).
 Day 5 Amsterdam-Rhineland, Germany.
An included canal cruise aboard a glass-roofed launch is the best way to get a good impression of how this city was built and how much still remains of the Golden Age. Drive past the Dutch region best known as the locale of A Bridge Too Far near Arnhem to Germany. In Cologne visit the awesome
twin-spired GOTHIC CATHEDRAL, and then the afternoon’s highlight: a cruise on the romantic Rhine, past castle-crested cliffs, terraced
vineyards, and trim, half-timbered towns. (Buffet Breakfast and Dinner )

picture-book Lucerne. (Buffet Breakfast and Dinner )
Day 7

In the morning a walking tour is the best way to discover the charm of this city. Admire Thorwaldsen’s LION MONUMENT, the ornate patrician houses of the walled Old Town, and cross the famous covered WOODEN BRIDGE to the Jesuit Church. Balance of the day is at leisure to shop for Swiss watches and choose from our optional activities: climb a mountain by cable car; take a cruise on the fjord-like lake or sign up for a folklore party with yodeling and alphorn
blowing for a first-hand impression of Alpine merrymaking. (Buffet Breakfast)
