In Amsterdam, you’ll see the city from water level on a canal cruise—the best way to see Amsterdam!
In addition to the capitals, this European tour also features visits of some of Europe’s smaller—but fascinating—cities.

In Dresden, the lovely German city, your guided sightseeing with a Local Guide includes the Zwinger Palace Glockenspiel, where 40 bells sound every quarter of an hour. In Bremerhaven, you’ll visit the new Emigration Center Museum, documenting the German migration to the United States in the last 300 years. In the Czech Republic, enjoy a stroll through the medieval old town in Tábor, founded in 1420 as a city where everyone is equal.
For value-minded travelers, this is the perfect vacation to see some of Europe’s fascinating capitals!
