Get Social: Central & Southern Europe Highlights

Trip overview

TRIP VIBE = fast-paced fun with tons of socialising, bucket-list sights and good times all round. Highlights = the best bits. And this Central and Southern Europe trip is jam-packed with them. You’ll see: iconic cities (think Paris, Barcelona and Rome), incredible coastlines (guest-starring the French Riviera) and out-of-this-world mountains (the Swiss Alps – need we say more?). You’ll get: a bunch of legends to share the ride, and the snacks. Say yes to 16 days of life-changing Euro adventures. You won’t regret it.

Trip itinerary

  1. London (England) – Paris (France)

    1

    You wanted iconic, so where better to start than in the OG of classic capitals? Meet the crew in London, stock up on supplies and settle in as we make tracks for the City of Lights. The home of Coco Chanel, lil’ Mona and the world’s yummiest macarons – Paris has earned its rep as the European capital for all things culture, fashion and cream-filled, carb-loaded deliciousness. Tick off all the showstoppers on a driving tour before getting OUT there! Keen to make the most of it? There’s even an optional river cruise on offer this eve.

The accomodations...
