Tour de Europe self drive holidayOUR ITINERARY:

Our exclusive itineray for 2019 takes us on an interesting driving tour and scenic holiday tat will give you decades of memories.

Starting in Heidelberg, we head out along part of the 'Romantic Road' on our way to the 'Disneyland' castl;e at Neuschwanstein. After a lay day we're back on the road into Switzerland and two nights at Montreux. The road from Montreux brings us into southern France and the towns of Valence and Millau. At Millau we can travel over the worlds highest bridge - the Millau viaduct. From Millau, we head down to the ancient Papal seat at Avignon. On the way is the castle at Carcassone and the Roman viaduct at Pont du Gard. Two nights at Avignon and then on the road to Monaco and another two nights to check out the casino.

The second part of the trip takes us into Italy, passing through Genoa and two nights in Pisa to check out the leaning tower. After Pisa we take to the back roads and follow the SR2 road, scene of many Mille Miglia races into the town of Orvieto. Orvieto has a spectacular outlook and a magnificent mural in the Cathederal by Luca Signorelli. We leave Orvieto to travel the back roads past the Ferrari Museum and into a layday at Florence. More scenic driving takes us to Verona and a day checking out Romeo and Juliet's balcony. Our last driving day brings us past Lake Garda and into a layday and final dinner for the Tour in Milan.

Our itinerary is designed to take you to places away from the tourist haunts, where you can employ the flexibility that a car gives you and travel at the speed at which you feel comfortable while taking in the history, culture and scenery that Europe has to offer. Each night you can meet up with your fellow travellers for a shared drink or meal or both or even do your own thing.
