After a warm reception from your tour manager at your dedicated pick-up point settle in your comfortable coach as we set off to cross the English Channel. From Calais, we make our way towards Belgium. On arrival, we enjoy a walking tour of Brussels covering the Old Town to enjoy the marvelous sightings at the Grand Place such as the guildhalls, city’s Town Hall, the King’s House or Breadhouse building containing the Museum of the City of Brussels. Walk down the adjacent street to see Belgium’s favorite Manneken Pis statue – a small bronze statue of a little peeing boy.

We enjoy a delicious Indian meal at the restaurant before making our way to the hotel for our overnight stay.

After breakfast, we board the coach and make our way to Germany. Straight out of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Germany’s Black Forest is the perfect backdrop for this morning’s scenic drive. Our day will start by visiting the famous Cuckoo Clock outlet at Drubba Hofgut Sternen. Drubba is a family-run company that started out as a kiosk offering boat rental on the Titisee in the 1950s. The company recognised the shopping trend early on and began specialising in the sale of traditional cuckoo clocks and high-end wristwatches. Today Drubba Village is a well-known name amongst Asian visitors and a popular travel destination. During your visit you have some free time to immerse into the Black Forest Culture, take a refreshing forest stroll or spend time shopping. After lunch, we continue our journey into Switzerland where our first stop will be in Schaffhausen giving you an opportunity to capture the cascading waters of the Rhine falls, Europe’s biggest waterfall. Huge masses of water cascade down over the rocks over a width of 150 m! Take courage: you shouldn’t miss the drive and the climb to the middle rock. After spending some free time at Rhine Falls, we proceed towards the scenic region of Lake Lucerne to see the famous Chapel Bridge, one of the oldest wooden bridges in the world. Here have some free time to admire Lake Luzern and its beautiful, picturesque surroundings. Later we walk for a photo stop at the Lion Monument which is a proud landmark of the city of Lucerne and a popular attraction. The Lion of Lucerne lies in his lair in one of the idyllic parks in the centre of the city. This striking stone lion is more than just a monument. Depending on your perspective, it can be a memorial, work of art or monument. Later enjoy an Indian meal before checking into your hotel for our overnight stay.
