We are doing a tour! We felt it would be too overwhelming to try and arrange it on our own the first time. Where are you looking to go?

| I want to go to Spain for sure. I have been to Germany and Austria...so awesome. We may end up in Belize first...or St Lucia.. hopefully i can get my dh away from a beach for ONE vacation..lol Its not like we dont have beautiful beaches in Fl where we live.. he just wants to chill on a beach every vacation. But recently he has been looking at European Cruises.. I would rather just go and travel by rail pass |

| I went to Europe for the first time last January. My 2 sisters and I spent 2 weeks in Italy. We had a great time. It was like we were kids again. Beautiful country with so much to see and experience.

My brother & SIL went to Belize a few years ago and loved it! They stayed a few nights in a tree house type resort in the rain forest! I'm not a beach person myself. I love seeing the sites, landscape, history, etc.. I just love soaking the culture up! Good luck with your planning!

That's another reason we decided on a tour, we knew it would keep costs down.

Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan. If you have time, a side trip to Sicily. So much to see, so little time. For the best food, stay away from the Tourist places. Eat out of the way...small restaurants. Get used to the OLD WORLD SMELL of Rome, and especially Naples (Pompeii) if you go there. Florence is our favorite. Mola De Bari is also nice, and it is in Southern Italy. | |

| I've been to London and Italy. So much history. buildings that are older than this country. They preserve old buildings, unlike here where they tear them down to put up Plazas. And when you think that they were built before machines, it's amazing. |

| The Rhine area in Germany is beautiful and I love the North of Germany. Never been to the South but Bavaria is something to see for sure.

| Bavaria with all it's castles, Munich of course with the Frauenkirche and the New and Old Pinakothek (art museums,) the biergarten and the English Garden, but don't go there before the 4th of October b/c as long as the Oktoberfest lasts you'll get no room anywhere. I love Florence and Sienna (Tuscany) with the great art museums, Seville in Spain and Figueras with the Salvador Dali Museum, Vienna with the Schloss Schoenbrunn and the 'Heurigen', Lake Garda in Italy, Zermatt in Switzerland with the Matterhorn... how long did you say you'll go... LOL? If you need a good tour guide I'm at your service! |
