It's your responsibility to make travel arrangements to reach the starting point. Our detailed itineraries provide information and suggestions on how to do this. Our Deluxe trips feature the most prestigious hotels and restaurants available in each region. By contrast, our Loops trips are economical alternatives for those who prefer a less luxurious style. In fact, these hotels are quite charming and comfortable, as European inns and restaurants uniquely seem to be.
Rooms always have a private bathroom.
The level of trip support and our attention to detail on the Loops trips remain the same as on our Deluxe trips. These itineraries include highlights of each day's route, the names of the hotels, daily mileage, a description of the terrain, where we dine, and our suggestion for the best train to catch at the end of the trip.
