Itinerary
You meet your fellow travellers and Tour Manager at London St Pancras this morning, ready to board the Eurostar to Paris. In the French capital, you change to the direct train to Mulhouse, passing through rural France on the way to this historic city in Alsace, near to the borders of Switzerland and Germany.
The focus of Mulhouse's medieval centre is Place de la Réunion, where you can find the Gothic Revival Temple St-Étienne and the pink and gold decorated town hall. Constructed in 1553, this striking Renaissance building displays allegoric frescoes representing vices and virtues. Your hotel is near the station, and it is here that you enjoy your first dinner together this evening.

It was a lovely holiday, but we felt we would have preferred not to visit Lake Como which was rushed, poorly served by the ferry service, busy and commercialised. The trip to lake Maggiore, was wonderful, despite poor weather

Wonderful tour and Stella our giude did a super job, well organised,cheerful, caring and friendly and approachable! Pity the weather was a bit hit and miss, some rain which dampened things a bit but still had super time, stunning scenery. Our hotel was fabulous, lovely staff and meals were lovely ??

Very good destination hotel, situated right on the lakeside. The excursions were well planned and organised. The return to London in one day made for a very long day, but overall we enjoyed the holiday.
