ITINERARY IN DETAIL Day 01
Arrive Frankfurt
We begin our "Co x and Kings - Images Of Euro pe to ur" in the German city of Frankfurt. Upon arrival at the airport and after the clearance of our immigration and customs procedures, we head out to meet our friendly Cox & Kings representative who will escort us to a local coach. And before we head to our hotel, go on an o rientatio n to ur of this remarkably beautiful, yet surprisingly underrated destination. Incidentally, this financial capital of the country has many gems in store in the form of theatres, museums, historic architecture, etc. The city boasts of an interesting mix of modern skyscrapers rising high above the traditional red-bricked structures and other monuments from the Gothic and Renaissance eras. The tour takes us past some of the city's must-see attractions including the "new" Old Town (new because its almost completely reconstructed), the Frankfurt Cathedral (the Gothic structure with a 95-metre long tower that stands out in contrast to the city's modern skyscrapers), the Romer (a Patrician Villa that has served as the City Hall since 1405) and the Staedel Museum (the oldest museum foundation in Germany) among others. Then, check-in to the hotel, rest for a bit and head out for dinner at a restaurant before we finally hit the bed. Overnight in Frankfurt. Dinner at an Indian restaurant Day 02
Frankfurt - Breda
Well rested as we are, head out after breakfast and start exploring a bit more of the German lands. Drive to the town of St. Goar from where begins our water voyage on the Rhine River. Ride on the Rhine River Cruise to get to Boppard moving past historic hillside castles, scenic river banks, vineyard-glazed hills and some of the most spectacular views of the Rhine Valley. Then, drive along the mesmerizing German views to Cologne. Here, head straight for the building that dominates the skyline of this German Town the Co lo gne Cathedral, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Though the intrinsic architectural beauty and its magnanimity are the striking characteristics of this Gothic structure, there's something far more impressive about it than just the architectural brilliance. So, the Cathedral was built in parts over 7 centuries (started in 1248 and completed in 1880). Naturally then it shifted builders throughout its construction. And yet the Cathedral stands in complete aesthetic harmony unifying the distinct flavours of every builder and every century. Take some time here to absorb in all the artistic masterpieces the Cathedral has to offer before we hit back on the road to Breda, Netherlands. After one minor pit stop for dinner, arrive in Breda where we check-in to our hotel and rest it out through the night. Overnight in Breda. Breakfast at the hotel and dinner at an Indian restaurant Day 03
Breda
We dedicate today to the beauty of flat landscapes with canals and tulip fields and windmills and a lot more as we make a day trip to the Netherlands. After breakfast today, begin with our Netherlands exploration starting at the very beautiful Keukenho f Garden in Lisse. Planted over an expanse of 79 acres, the garden is a colourful sea of 800 varieties of Tulips and other spring flowers. Interspersed between these floral fields are other beautifying attractions including canals, a windmill, artistic floral displays and flower shows among others. After this, drive along the scenic scenes of Netherlands to arrive in Amsterdam but not without making a pit stop at the famous Cheese Farm and Clo g Facto ry where we learn about the traditional art of cheesemaking and also that of traditional Dutch clog-making. Then, arrive at the busiest town centre of Amsterdam, the Dam Square or simply The Dam. From memorable monuments and statues to souvenir shops and restaurants to that of scores of pigeons and buskers, the Dam is a true reflection of the city's character. And because Amsterdam is nothing without its spectacular canal circuit, we then get on a glass-topped cruise to navigate through this picturesque town with its regal mansions and houseboats and bridges via its impressive canal ring, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage site in itself. A cruise on this canal ring somehow makes everything about Amsterdam even more

Breda - Paris
Today, gear up to bid adieu to The Netherlands and embrace ourselves for a long drive as we make way to Paris. But first, we must make a pit stop at Brussels, Belgium. Once in Brussels, first visit the Mini Europe park, a miniature park housing more than 350 models of just about every structure worth seeing in Europe. Mini Euro pe is your guide to an exquisite Europe tour within a few hours. From the leaning Bell Tower of Pisa to the Big Ben of London, from the Thalys high-speed train between Paris and Germany to the gondola ride on the Bridge of Sighs and from lakes and canals to vineyards and meadows, the miniature park comprises all things awesome of Europe. What makes this park even more amusing are the various working models such as the eruption of Vesuvius, the fall of the Berlin wall and the bullfight at the Corrida in Seville among others. Towering above this miniature park is another grand and unique Belgian structure, the Atomium. Originally built in 1958 for the Brussels' World Fair, the structure was retained, thanks to its architectural brilliance. Essentially, the Ato mium is a giant iron crystal magnified 165 billion times its actual size. Accordingly, the structure consists of 9 spheres arranged to represent the atoms in an iron crystal. We make a photo-stop here to absorb in the magnificence of this gigantic atom. Hereafter, explore a little more of the Belgian capital with the o rientatio n to ur that starts at the Grand Place, known to be Europe's most beautiful and buzzing square. This exquisite market square is the main tourist attraction of the city that has often left sightseers awestruck, thanks to the historic architectural marvels from the eras of Baroque, Gothic and Louis XIV that give the place and eclectic character. Next on the list are two quick photo-stops, one at the Everard t'Serclaes Monument (that is said to bring luck when rubbed) and the cheeky Manneken Pis sculpture. Then, hit the road again and after a comfort stop and a dinner break, arrive in Paris. We check-in to the hotel and call it night. Overnight in Paris. Breakfast at the hotel and dinner at an Indian restaurant Day 05
Paris
Renowned for its romantic charms, its multi-layered character and its monumental beauty, Paris is hardly a place to need an introduction. After breakfast today, set about to explore this legendary town and what better place to begin our Paris expedition than the city's most iconic landmark, the Eiffel To wer. What earns this wrought iron lattice tower all its popularity is the sheer magnanimity of the structure that is known for the humbling effects it has on mere mortals. Then there is the panoramic city view that you get while atop the tower which we shall be visiting up to the second level. Another fascinating visit on our schedule today is to the Frago nard Perfumery which attracts both, amateurs and perfume connoisseurs, with its interesting line-up of displays, a collection of fragrances that boasts of the grand history Fragonard perfumes, an informative workshop on the art of perfume-making, a trial session at the exit boutique. Then, embark on a guided city to ur of the French capital seeing and learning about its architectural and cultural treasures. Starting our tour at the Trocadero Square, continue to marvel at the architectural excellence of the city with structures such as the pyramid of the Louvre, Garnier's Opera (the largest opera theatre in the world), the Place de la Concorde (the site of the infamous guillotine) the Champs Elysees (one of the most fashionable streets in the world), the Napoleonic Arc de Triomphe, the Alexander Bridge and the Hotel des Invalides among others. We then proceed to an Indian restaurant for dinner. From here you can either choose to return to the hotel or

Homeward Bound
We are on our last day of the tour and we've still got a couple of places to discover. So, without wasting any time post breakfast, proceed to the popular Parisian attraction, the Parc Asterix, a themed amusement park with Asterix and his sidekick Obelix as the prime characters. From stomachchurning rides (including the Tonnerre de Zeus, the world's second largest wooden roller coaster) to waterbased rides to breathtaking stunts to that of live shows, the park has everything to make your day pass by in a hazy blur. But we've got to keep track of time because we have one last Parisian gem to discover the Grevin Wax Museum. Gear up for a first-hand experience of rubbing shoulders with celebrities from several walks of life- art, fashion, cinema, politics and sports to name a few. The museum houses more than 200 life-like wax statues of many public figures. Noteworthy here is the Hall of Mirrors which transports you to a Hindu temple, then an exotic jungle and then the beautiful palace from The Arabian Nights with a state-of-art light and sound show. We bring our European tour to a close on this starry note and hit the road to the airport. With wonderful memories and a bitter-sweet mood, we board our flight back home.
