Larger groups

Some road days can also be replaced by a scenic train: see our European rail tours and the Swiss Travel Pass guide. To pick the month, use our month-by-month guide to Europe.
Good to know
Hotels are not included
This is a land-only plan. Travellers book their own city-centre hotels: 2 nights in Munich, 3 in Zurich and 2 in Paris. We can add hotels to the quote on request.
Luggage
The plan allows one medium check-in bag and one small cabin bag for each traveller in the minivan.
The long drive to Paris
Day 6 is about 600 km by road. If your clients prefer, the TGV Lyria train links Zurich and Paris in about 4 hours, and we can quote that day by train instead.
The driver's day
Up to 10 hours a day, with no more than 9 hours at the wheel. Traffic, weather or opening days can change the order of visits.
Booking notes
Check-in times, triple rooms, air conditioning, early breakfasts, the Indian meal menu and trade fair dates work the same way on all our tours. Read the booking notes.
