Day 1: Munich (Dinner) 

• Welcome to Munich! 
• The first day of the tour is our arrivals day. 
• Meet your fellow travelers, and, depending on what time you arrive, head into Munich and see the sights ahead of the start of your tour. A city that exhibits both prosperity and a certain amount of comfort and coziness, Munich’s apparent contradictions will delight the avid explorer. 
• Along with modern high-powered industry, designer shopping districts and sleek BMWs, you’ll find a wealth of cultural hotspots in Munich. Even with all its smart sophistication, Munich has a certain charm that visitors find irresistible.

• Prost!

Day 2: Neuschwanstein Castle - Innsbruck (Breakfast)

• Today, you’re off to Innsbruck, with an initial stopover at the famous Neuschwanstein Castle. With turrets soaring high above the surrounding woodland, this is a castle that will bring all those familiar fairy tales to mind. 
• Take a tour that allows you to get up close and personal with this outstanding European landmark. 
• Next, make your way to Innsbruck in nearby Austria. This is one of the few places in the world that can really lay claim to having something for everyone. It's not every destination that offers extreme sports (thanks to the close proximity of the soaring Nordkette Alps), fascinating historical heritage (courtesy of the legacy of the Habsburgs), and vibrant modern attractions to boot. 
• Arrive in the afternoon and set out for an orientation tour of the city. 
• Then you can choose to add an ascent up the Nordkette mountain, or simply explore incredible Innsbruck at your leisure.

Day 3: Salzburg - Vienna (Breakfast, Dinner) 

• From Innsbruck, we head for the grandeur of Vienna, stopping on the way for a comfort stop in Salzburg. 
• On arrival in Vienna, we’ll take a driving tour of the city – which ranks as one of the world’s most liveable cities. Few cities can show off such cultural and historical splendor and maintain a profile as an exciting, modern city, but Vienna does it well. 
• Along with a musical past that includes luminaries like Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms, and artworks by masters like Klimt, Schiele, and Kokoschka, Vienna has a buzzing modern culinary scene, cheerful, bustling pubs and bars, and a host of clubs and music venues in which to dance the night away.

Day 4: Budapest (Breakfast) 

• Today, we’re off to Budapest, the Hungarian capital. 
• Blessed with natural beauty (it straddles the Danube River) as well as baroque, neoclassical and art nouveau architecture, this is a city to behold. 
• Get a good overview of it all with our Budapest driving tour when you arrive.
• Starting on the Pest side of the Danube, head across the river and stop at the Fisherman’s Bastion for spectacular views of the city and the river below. 
• See the Houses of Parliament and drive along the river admiring the city. 
• This afternoon is yours to enjoy the city as you please.

Day 5: Bratislava - Prague (Breakfast, Dinner) 

• Today, we're off to Prague, stopping on the way in Bratislava for a comfort stop. 
• This afternoon we'll arrive in Prague. Famous for its art, architecture, cobbled lanes and ancient chapels, this is also home to some of Europe’s finest beer. 
• For dinner, experience authentic Czech cuisine at our local restaurant on your first night in Prague.

Day 6: Prague (Breakfast) 

• This morning we’ll take a locally guided walking tour of this incredible city, which, since freeing itself from communism, has joined other European jewels like Paris, Rome and Amsterdam to take its place as one of Europe’s most fascinating destinations. 
• Prague's dramatic history is reflected in the beauty of the architecture of churches, opera houses, concert halls and parks. 
• The rest of the day is yours free to enjoy the city. 
• There are numerous beer halls in which to sample a local brew, and for those who wish to put your stamp on the city, why not visit legendary Lennon wall - a tribute to John Lennon and words of peace, which is added to on a daily basis by the thousands of visitors to the city.

Day 7: Nuremberg - Munich (Breakfast) 

• On our way back to Munich, we'll stop at Nuremberg, Bavaria's second-largest city. 
• Famous for its dark beer and frenetic energy, you'll have a chance to look around before we make our way back to Munich. 
• Tonight is your last night on tour, so be sure to make the most of it!
