We booked this 9-days and 8-nights group tour holidays package trip in advance. It covered 6 countries in 8 nights! 2
nights each were in Paris and Switzerland. The
remaining 4 nights were in each country, Belgium, Netherlands,
Germany, Milan! The package included return
air-fare, hotel stays, local tour transport costs, some of the entry fees, breakfast and dinner for all days, including a complimentary lunch on
the first day. All travel within Europe were all by a contract
bus coach during the 9 days. There were also six optional excursions that we
can pick and choose to join by paying the charges additionally.
They had agreed for flying us out of Bangalore directly to Paris, however finally it turned out they had to fly us from New Delhi, so we had to spend additional time flying from Bangalore to Delhi, and then we flew out of Delhi to Paris. The return flight was from Milan, again routed via Delhi to Bangalore. So for us from Bangalore, it was a ~10-days and 10-nights trip due to the additional domestic hop we had.
Route map of our itinerary within Europe, though not covering all the spots we visited, but including the locations where we stayed, can be seen HERE.
You may note that, this could be a long blog post, with quite a few pictures and probably some information. Hope it is useful.
