Day 1: Paris

Arrive at any time.

Tonight, you won't need to go far for Paris to sweep you off your feet, because after all, it is the City of Love. Head to your hostel's bar with your CEO and group to kick back and grab drinks in celebration of the first day of your grand adventure.

Day 2: Paris

Picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower; opt to visit Notre Dame Cathedral or explore Montmartre.
Explore and discover the “je ne sais quoi” of the City of Lights. Paris has something for everyone and you can use your day here to picnic under the Eiffel Tower, explore the outstanding museums and churches, float down the Seine on a river cruise or people watch at one of the charming cafés.

Travel from Paris to Interlaken, a small city in the Swiss Alps with breathtaking scenery.

I enjoyed the social aspect of this group tour. I did not expect to be booking so many activities myself but there were many included too which were great.
