Good to know

Practical details to read before you travel.

  • Passport & visas

    This tour runs through the Netherlands and Belgium, then France, Spain, Monaco, Andorra and Italy. France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium are in the Schengen area, and Monaco and Vatican City have open borders with it, so a Schengen visa covers them too.

    Andorra itself is outside Schengen, and the coach reaches it from France and leaves again into Spain the same day, so you need a multiple-entry Schengen visa, not a single-entry one.

    UAE passport holders do not need a visa for Schengen stays of up to 90 days in any 180, though you will also need the EU’s ETIAS travel authorisation once it starts: we can tell you where it stands when you book. Most other nationalities living in the UAE need a multiple-entry Schengen visa, best applied for in France, since you will spend the most nights there on this tour. Apply up to six months before you travel, and book your Dubai appointment early as it fills up before summer.

    Your passport must be valid for at least three months after you leave the Schengen area and have been issued within the last ten years. Our visa team handles Schengen applications: ask us when you book.

  • Flights and timings

    Flights to Amsterdam and home from Rome aren’t included.

    Day 1 starts at 07:30 at your hotel in Amsterdam; most departures start at one of two hotels in the Airport District, a short train ride from the arrivals terminal. You will be emailed the confirmed hotel and your tour leader’s contact details about a week before you travel. The tour ends in Rome on day 11 at around 08:30, after breakfast.

    Our team can book your flights from Dubai to match.

  • Meals and dietary needs

    Ten breakfasts and three dinners are included: breakfast every day except day 1, and dinner on your first night in Paris, in Barcelona and in Rome. Lunches and other meals on free days are not included.

    Tell us about any dietary needs, halal included, when you book, and we pass them on before the tour.

  • Money

    The euro is used throughout this tour, from Amsterdam to Rome, including in Monaco and Andorra. Cards are widely accepted; a card with no foreign transaction fees makes things easiest.

    Optional extras booked on tour are paid to your tour leader in cash or by card, in the currency shown.

  • Weather and packing

    Runs April to September: mild spring days in Amsterdam and Paris, and warm Mediterranean summer heat in Barcelona, the French Riviera and Italy, especially in July and August. Pack in layers for the early dates, sun protection for the Riviera and Italy, and comfortable, broken-in shoes: walking tours in Toulouse, Barcelona and Rome can last up to three hours.

    Modest clothing, covering shoulders and knees, is expected in churches and if you join the Vatican Museums or Eternal Rome excursions in Rome.

Plan your trip

Our Dubai team arranges what goes around the tour, so it is booked in one place.

  • Visas

    One Schengen visa covers the Schengen countries on this route. Our visa team in Dubai applies for UAE residents once the tour is booked. For Andorra, ask them what your passport needs.

    Flights are not included. We can book them with the tour: Dubai to Amsterdam, and home from Rome. Tick “Flights” when you book and we quote them with your confirmation.

Questions about this tour

  • What will my days look like?

    Days are full. Most start with breakfast, then the main sights with a local guide or your tour leader. Afternoons often leave free time to wander, stop for a coffee or join an optional extra. Expect a fair amount of walking: some days mean two or three hours on your feet, so bring comfortable shoes.

  • Who will I be travelling with?

    Travellers from all over the world, of different ages and backgrounds, who share a wish to see more. This tour runs as a small group of up to 18, and most people know each other’s names within a few days.

  • What are the hotels like?

    Mostly 3 and 4 star, all clean, comfortable and well located, with private en-suite bathrooms. They are chosen so you sleep well and are ready for the next day. The destinations come first, but the hotels are never an afterthought.

  • How active is this tour?

    You carry your own luggage, sometimes up hotel stairs. Some walking tours run for up to three hours, and a few sites have plenty of steps. The itinerary and the activity level at the top of this page show whether the pace suits you.

  • How do optional extras work?

    Optional extras run in the tour’s free time, and your tour leader tells you what is on offer as the tour goes. Some are booked with your tour leader on the day. Others sell in advance and must be bought before the tour starts: to add one of those, mention it in your booking notes and we confirm it with your seats. Each extra in the Optional extras section says which way it is booked.

  • Will I have time to explore on my own?

    Yes. The itinerary builds in free time to wander at your own pace, and your tour leader can point you to the places that suit you, so you are never left to work it all out alone.

  • What support do I have while I’m on tour?

    Your tour leader travels with you from start to finish. They know the places most visitors miss, can suggest a restaurant before you ask, and deal with whatever crops up on the way. Transport and hotels are all arranged for you.

    There is also an emergency number staffed 24 hours a day, and our team in Dubai is there to help.

  • How do I book Amsterdam to Rome?

    Press Book now, choose a date, your travellers and rooms, and give your name, email and mobile. We hold your seats and email your booking reference straight away; you then add each traveller as their passport shows on your booking page. Our Dubai team confirms the seats with the tour operator, then emails you a secure payment link. Nothing is charged when you book.

  • When do I pay?

    Once the tour operator confirms your seats. We email you a secure payment link for the total in AED, and your booking is complete when it is paid. To pay in instalments, say so in your booking notes.

  • Is the price per person?

    Yes. Prices are per person sharing a double or twin room. Travelling alone? A single room costs the supplement shown next to each date.

  • Are flights included?

    Only when the tour lists them under what is included. We can book flights from the UAE to the start city and home from the end city with your tour.

  • Do I need a visa?

    That depends on your passport and the countries on the route. Our visa team arranges Schengen and other visas for UAE residents, and can apply for yours once the tour is booked.
