Why you'll love this trip

  • Wander the streets of Barcelona and discover Gaudi’s architecture with your local leader by your side. After, maybe visit the La Sagrada Familia Basilica – the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world.
  • Visit a floating farm in Rotterdam, where you’ll learn about sustainable farming practices and see the resident cows living and grazing along the harbour.
  • Explore the many romantic districts and hidden alleyways of Paris. Dive into the local food scene with a croissant or coffee and tick the Eiffel Tower off your list in your free time.
  • Discover Amsterdam’s museums, cafe culture and leafy parks. Maybe visit the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum or Anne Frank House to brush up on your art history.
  • Travel like the locals do on public transport. Take the train cross-country and enjoy extra time to relax, play games with fellow travellers and watch the changing landscapes roll by.
