  • 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.

  • 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.
