Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1: London
Location: London
Welcome to London, with iconic double decker buses, Buckingham Palace and good old Big Ben, you’ll feel as though you have stepped straight into a Richard Curtis film! Check in and relax before meeting up with your new TruFam in the evening for dinner and drinks. Our journey begins right by London Bridge so if you’ve got the afternoon free perhaps check out Borough Market, a foodie's paradise. After a welcome speech, some good food, we’ll head out to see London by night. Trust us, it’s iconic!
Day 2: London/Paris
Location: London
Meals Included: BREAKFAST
It’s time to say Au Revior to London and Bonjour to our next destination. That’s right, we’re heading to Paris. Today, we’re boarding the Eurostar bound for the City of Love. After settling into our hostel, the afternoon is free to do as we please. We have the opportunity to explore the enchanting streets for some sightseeing, great local food, and the possibility of a glass of wine or two - it is Paris after all.
Day 3: Paris
Location: Paris
Today, we're on a mission to conquer the romantic allure of Paris. Join us as we explore Paris and unveil the splendid beauty of this city. We’ll catch a glimpse of the iconic Arc du Triomphe, and, of course no trip to Paris would be complete without seeing the Eiffel Tower, from some of the best vantage points. Pose for those pics and grab those Insta shots before we head to our next stop. Prepare to be whisked away to the enchanting Montmartre area, where you'll discover the magnificent Sacré-Cœur from the top of dome, the alluring Moulin Rouge, the romantic 'Le Mur des Je t'aime,' and more. Hey, it’s not called the City of Love for no reason! In the evening we’ll head out for dinner and drinks and maybe a dance or two.
Day 4: Paris/Amsterdam
Location: Paris
It's time to set sail for the 'Venice of the North' - Amsterdam! We’ll travel by train before checking into our hostel. Upon our arrival, we'll dive headfirst into the city's Red Light District and explore its inviting bars. Get ready to paint the town red ;) as we head out on a legendary bar crawl of this incredible city. Try out the local drinks, some colourful cocktails and or a beer or 2 as we dance the night away!
Day 5: Amsterdam
Location: Amsterdam
Meals Included: BREAKFAST
Today, Amsterdam reveals its artistic and aquatic secrets in all their splendour. We'll begin with an 'underground tour' offering a unique perspective of the city through the eyes of someone who used to live on the streets who’ll show us the city in a new light. It’s important to see every destination from a different perspective and understand what makes Amsterdam what it is today. Afterwards, you'll have plenty of time to strike a pose by the picturesque canals. As the day unfolds, we'll embark on a canal cruise to explore more of this beautiful city. Set sail with the TruFam, beer in hand as we see the city by water!
Day 6: Amsterdam/Berlin
Location: Amsterdam
Meals Included: BREAKFAST
Today’s a travel day and trust us, it’s needed after an unforgettable few days in some of Europe’s biggest cities. Catch some zzzz’s as we head to our next destination. Say Guten Tag to Berlin and our home for the next few days. Our hostel nestles in the Mitte district, a haven for eateries and drinkeries so it’s the perfect place for our TruTravels adventure. Fun fact: in Berlin, beer isn't considered a luxury; it's a necessity, and our hostel even brews its own! So, let's raise a glass or two in true Berliner fashion in the evening!
Day 7: Berlin
Location: Berlin
Meals Included: BREAKFAST
Prepare to dive into Berlin's history and vibrant art scene. We’ll head on a walking tour as our local guide takes us to iconic landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate, the German Parliament Building, the poignant Holocaust Memorial, the historic Berlin Wall, and the intriguing Checkpoint Charlie (it's not what you might expect!) After a lunch stop, we'll immerse ourselves in the captivating world of graffiti art at the East Side Gallery, where Berlin's past and present collide. Berlin is home to rich history and culture so immerse yourself in it all. In the evening we head out for dinner. Did someone say Currywurst?
Day 8: Berlin/Prague
Location: Berlin
Meals Included: BREAKFAST
All aboard! Today, we're en route to Prague, and we're granting you a well-deserved lie in after Berlin's antics. Today is a chilled travel day so use this time to swipe through the 10,000 photos you’ve taken on your phone, update your Insta story or get to know your TruFam better, like what’s everyone’s death row meal or go to sandwich. After arriving it’s a free evening to spend as you please!
Day 9: Prague
Location: Prague
Meals Included: BREAKFAST
Prague, the city of a thousand spires, welcomes us with open arms! Today's adventure takes us on a leisurely stroll through the charming Old Town, where you'll glimpse the astronomical clock and the enigmatic twin towers. Walk over the iconic Charles Bridge before a guided tour of the magnificent castle. Afterwards, it’s a free afternoon to explore. Prague is famous for its ridiculously cheap beer so if the sun is shining we’ll head to a local beer garden to try them out. It’s only right… right?
Day 10: Prague
Location: Prague
Meals Included: BREAKFAST
Today is a chilled check out and we’re not quite ready to say goodbye.
