Day 1 : Start London
The adventure begins. We’ll start out by getting to know each other over a three-course dinner. Afterwards, we’ll embark on our first MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience – a walking tour of the West End, hosted by the men and women who once lived on the streets of London (and who know this grand old capital better than anyone).
Accommodation : Royal National Hotel (or similar)
Day 2 : London
Walk this way… Today you’re free to explore London however you like. You might wanna skip lunch ahead of this evening’s activity… yup, we’ll have the option to join an East End food walking tour – sampling as much international cuisine as we can muster.
Accommodation : Ibis Styles Gloucester Road (or similar)
Day 3 : London to Paris
Ta-ra, Thames. Time to hop on the Eurostar to Paris – after our buffet breakfast of course!
An iconic train journey later, and we're in Paris. We'll waste no time getting acquainted with the city's 'ooh la la' worthy sites with a free afternoon to see the icons and maybe check out one of Paris's coolest neighborhoods, Montmartre or Le Marais, close to our hotel.
Accommodation : Ibis Styles Gare de l’Est Château Landon (or similar)
Day 4 : Paris
Cuisine and cabaret day. We'll start this morning with an optional patisserie walking tour, winding our way around the cutest cafes in Paris, sampling dreamy pastries as we go. Afterwards, you’ve got all day to explore (and check out everything you missed yesterday). Tonight, it's off to a Paris cabaret show, with dinner and champagne to really switch on the sophistication.
Accommodation : Ibis Styles Gare de l’Est Château Landon (or similar)
Day 5 : Paris to Amsterdam
Another day, another incredible European city...

Accommodation : Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam North Riverside (or similar)
Day 6 : Amsterdam
Rise and shine! First up, we’ll take to the canals for a truly unique boat tour. We’ll see Amsterdam through the eyes of refugees – hearing their stories as we gawk at the splendid views, you’re guaranteed to step off the boat with a whole new perspective on life. The rest of the day is all about exploration – from Anne Frank's museum to the Heineken Factory. This evening, opt to get an exclusive entry pass to the A'Dam Tower and Swing, skipping the queues to enjoy epic views over the sprawling city below. Afterwards the night is yours to explore this vibrant city and experience its legendary nightlife.

Day 7 : Amsterdam to Berlin
You've been a blast, Amsterdam, but today we're making tracks for our next adventure.
Hello Berlin! We'll waste no time in checking out the cutting-edge culinary scene, both vegan and carnivorous! After that, the evening is yours to explore the city's world-famous nightlife. The buzzing scene here is a joyous tribute to German reunification, and since the fall of the Berlin Wall the city has staked its claim as the techno capital of the world.
Accommodation : Ibis Ostbahnhof (or similar)
Day 8 : Berlin
2 walking tours today. This morning, we'll enjoy an exclusive MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience with Refugee Voices, learning from young refugees on a fascinating walking tour that draws parallels between Germany's turbulent past and the present situation in many countries across the world today. This evening, you’ll have the chance to explore Berlin's oh-so-historical (and oh-so-hipster) Kreuzberg district… followed by an included dinner.
Accommodation : Ibis Ostbahnhof (or similar)
Day 9 : End Berlin
Our trip ends in Berlin today. After giving us art, culture, eye-widening experiences and incredible food, it’s safe to say Europe has stolen our hearts, and we can’t wait to come back soon.
