Dreaming of your European adventure, but don't know where to start? Welcome to the European Whirl. It combines history, adventure, natural beauty, food and fun times over 10 countries in 18 days.

Taking in all the iconic hotspots you could want through Paris, Rome and Amsterdam, it also ventures east to the trendy must-see cities of Berlin and Prague, not to mention swoon-worthy flings with the Austrian Tyrol and Michelangelo's Florence. Along the way you can expect private boats through Venetian canals, an exclusive Paris by Night tour and a blissful balance of active adventures, local experiences, foodie hotspots and total relaxation. It's the perfect way to see this blockbuster continent in all its glory.

What's included?

• Accommodation: For 17 magical nights, you'll be snoozing in some of the most unique accommodation options Europe has to offer. Spend 1 night in Contiki's very own Austrian Gasthof, two in our Swiss Chalet, 5 in our cosy cabins, 2 in hotels and 7 in buzzing hostels.
• Meals: (17 brekky, 6 dinner) Wake up to breakfast on us each day, and be treated to 8 mouth-watering dinners. You're cruising through some of the food capitals of the world, so think hearty piles of Italian pasta, snails and macarons in France and the, er, interesting combo of curry and sausage that is Germany's currywurst.
• Team: A highly trained Trip Manager who brings your adventure to life, an expert driver who knows foreign roads better than Google Maps and Local Guides who make tourist traps a thing of the past.
• Transport: All transport included during the trip. Included in your trip is transport across Europe on our fleet of comfy, state of the art coaches. They're kitted out with all the necessities: USB charge points, WiFi, Air Con and a rocking sound system. You bring the other essentials, like tunes, friendships and stories from the night before.
