NadineFrance, Italy and Switzerland travel expert at TourRadar
14 Day Western Europe Itinerary, incl. London and Rome
Your 13-day adventure weaves through French vineyards, Swiss Alps, and Italian landmarks. Highlights include Versailles Palace, Lake Zurich cruise to Rapperswil, and Milan's Duomo. Daily breakfast and mountain lunch in Grindelwald included.
- Days 1-3
London
Start with three full days in London. Get to Westminster early at 8:30 AM to beat the crowds for Parliament and Big Ben photos. Want to explore beyond central London? Take the Thames Valley trip to Windsor Castle on Day 2 afternoon. It costs £35 but it's worth it. A helpful tip for your evening walk through Soho and Chinatown: use the north exit at Leicester Square station to avoid the tourist masses.
- Days 4-6
Paris
Take the morning ferry from Dover to Calais (90 minutes) and drive through Northern France with a stop in Amiens. Visit Versailles first thing on Day 5 right when it opens at 9 AM. The afternoon lines can stretch over 2 hours. The 5 PM Seine river cruise offers perfect photo lighting. For the Eiffel Tower, a traveler notes: "Book the earliest possible time slot at the Tower - we went at 9 AM and waited just 15 minutes versus the 2-hour afternoon queues."
- Days 7-8
Lyon & Geneva
Visit Beaune's wine region before spending the evening in Lyon's historic UNESCO center. Take the cable car to Notre-Dame de Fourvière for city views but bring a light jacket. Remember to get Swiss Francs before crossing the border as smaller shops often don't take euros.
- Days 9-10
Zurich & Swiss Alps
Take the Lake Zurich cruise to Rapperswil for picture-perfect village views. Bring sturdy shoes for the Grindelwald glacier walk. A past visitor suggests: "Start at Chapel Bridge early then visit the Lion Monument before the tour buses arrive around 10 AM."
- Days 11-12
Italian Lakes & Rome
Drive from Zurich through Bellinzona to Lake Como to see Switzerland's Italian charm. Get to Milan's Duomo by 8:30 AM to avoid crowds. The tourist train to Pisa's Tower is a smart choice especially in summer heat.
- Days 13-14
Rome
Start with the morning panoramic tour. As one visitor shares: "Don't skip the optional Vatican Museums tour - the pre-booked tickets saved us hours of waiting." The included Trastevere evening transfer works perfectly for dinner. Plan for 8 PM when locals start filling restaurants.
14 Day Western Europe Itinerary, incl. Amsterdam and Paris
A comprehensive 14-day tour through three countries features Mount Pilatus, Vatican City, Florence's Renaissance treasures, and Paris's highlights. Regional dining and expert-guided tours enhance cultural immersion.
- Days 1-2
Amsterdam
Begin in the Dutch capital. Take a guided canal tour for excellent city views and visit the Diamond Center. One traveler said, "Watching the morning canal cruise was magical - get there early before the tourist crowds build up." Consider booking the Volendam excursion for authentic Dutch culture, though keep in mind one reviewer noted "the dinner was mediocre."
- Days 3-4
German Rhineland & Black Forest
Take a 5-hour drive south to Heidelberg to explore its red castle ruins. Stop at Kulturbrauerei Heidelberg for local German beer. Spend the next day in the Black Forest region watching traditional woodcarving demonstrations. Make time for authentic Black Forest cake and coffee, a favorite among visitors.
- Day 5
Switzerland & Liechtenstein
Visit the Rhine Falls in Switzerland before reaching Lucerne. Stop at the Lion Monument, which left a deep impression on one traveler who shared, "Standing before this touching tribute was incredibly moving." Take a walk through Vaduz, the small capital of Liechtenstein, then continue to Innsbruck.
- Days 6-7
Venice
After a 4-hour drive, arrive in Venice by private boat. Visit St. Mark's Square and Bridge of Sighs. Watch local glassblowers at work. Plan your exploring for early morning or evening to avoid the midday crowds.
- Days 8-9
Rome & Florence
Spend two days seeing Rome's main attractions including the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and Colosseum. One visitor suggested: "Book the Vatican tour first thing - the crowds get overwhelming by 10 AM." In Florence, visit Michelangelo's David and take in the Renaissance architecture.
- Days 10-11
French Riviera & Lyon
Stop in Pisa for photos with the famous leaning tower before reaching the French Riviera. You can join an evening trip to Monte Carlo. Next day, drive along Nice's Promenade des Anglais before heading to Lyon to explore its historic Old Town.
- Days 12-14
Paris
Travel through Burgundy wine country to Paris. According to one traveler, "Get to the Eiffel Tower first thing, lines are shortest before 9 AM." Take a private electric coach tour to see the main attractions efficiently.
14 Day Western Europe Itinerary, incl. Barcelona and Vienna

- Days 3-5
French & Swiss Alps
Travel through Provence with stops at Van Gogh's Arles and the Carrières des Lumières art space. Enter Switzerland to see Geneva's lakefront and the village of Gruyères. Take a cable car ride to Glacier 3000 where you can walk the suspension bridge between peaks. Book your Glacier 3000 visit early in the day when visibility is usually better.
- Days 6-7
Italian Lakes & Rome
Travel through Italian-speaking Switzerland and stop at Lake Como on your way to Milan's Duomo. Continue to Pisa and Rome. A recent visitor shared: "The evening Trastevere food tour in Rome was the highlight - skip lunch that day to fully enjoy the tastings."
- Days 8-9
Rome & Florence
Take a full day to explore Imperial Rome and Vatican City. When you reach Florence, visit Piazzale Michelangelo for sunset views before your walking tour. Visit the Ponte Vecchio early morning or evening to avoid the midday crowds.
- Days 10-11
Venice & Austrian Alps
Start with a morning boat to St. Mark's Square and visit Murano's glass artisans. Travel north through mountain passes to Innsbruck and Kitzbühel. If you take the train from Venice to Innsbruck, choose window seats on the right side for the best views.
- Days 12-14
Austrian Highlights
Visit Mozart's Salzburg and take a scenic cruise past four castles on Traunsee. Finish in Vienna where you can spend evenings at traditional Heurigen wine taverns in Grinzing. One visitor noted: "The Grinzing wine taverns feel more genuine and less touristy than the central Vienna restaurants - try the Gemischter Satz white wine blend unique to this region."

- Spectacular Europe End Rome
I was initially skeptical -- too many bad reviews for tour operators these days -- but I was pleasantly surprised how good the trip turned out to be. As arranged, I had a pick up at Heathrow who dropped me to the hotel. Throughout the 14-day trip, hotel stay was nice and pleasant with free breakfasts. The hotels in Lyon and Zurich were especially good. Not all tour guides were fluent with English, but Fernando (London) and Thiery (Italy) and 'Disaster Phillipe' were great. Some of the outstanding trips were 1) cruise on Seine 2) train ride on Zurich metro 3) train ride down Grindelweld. On top, the many funicular rides and boat rides were well-planned and enjoyable.

The itinerary is good for this trip. We got to see many places. The accommodation is also good with great breakfast. There a few areas that can be improved as following: 1) The worst experience in this trip is we had to line up for 2 hours to get the ticket for Colosseum in Rome in heat because group tickets were not provided. By the the time we got the ticket, the meet up time was passed. Since the tour guide was not with us and there was no way to communicate of the huge delay, we spent 10 minutes inside the Colosseum and had to rush to get out. However, some people decided to spend 1 hour in the Colosseum. So we ended up waiting for them for another hour outside the Colosseum. The whole group was very upset about this experience. This could have been avoided if Europa Mudo had booked the group tickets in advance. 2) We have changed many buses and tour guides during the trip. This is not a very good experience. At one point, we got a bus without WiFi and electrical plugs. 3)The free time is too long in Rome. It was too hot and many people ended up taking a taxi to get back to the hotel rather than waiting till 8pm. 4) The time allowed for the Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna is too short. We did not have enough time to get close to the fountain.

We were not able to complete our travel due to the world situation with Covid19. We felt, however, that we needed to share our positive experience with DOT travel. From the booking process, helping to make arrangements to suit our family, and adapting the itinerary to accommodate our travel needs, DOT was nothing short of extraordinary with their customer service. Additionally, when we had to make the sad decision to cancel our trip due to the world events, DOT was understanding and accommodating and refunded us promptly with no cancellation fees. We will complete this trip when the world opens up again, and rest assured we will be booking with DOT travel eu.
