ABOUT THIS TOUR
10-Day Tour: Amsterdam, London, & The Cotswolds English Countryside
+ 3-Day Pre-Tour Extension: Paris
Experience these remarkably unique sides of Europe & The UK on one unforgettable spring journey! From Paris to Amsterdam to London, the English Cotswolds, Oxford and Windsor. This carefully curated, boutique small-group tour combines iconic European destinations with local neighborhoods, special cultural experiences, beautiful countryside, memorable food, and the personalized attention that makes every DeSerio Tour feel like a private journey among friends. Begin with our recommended, 3-Day Paris Extension (Pre-Tour, April 18 – 21), discovering the timeless beauty of the French capital through its elegant gardens, world-famous art, historic avenues, culinary traditions, fashion, and romantic evening atmosphere.
The main 10-Day Tour (April 21 – May 1) begins in Amsterdam during the height of the Dutch Tulip flower season. Cruise through historic canals, explore charming neighborhoods, experience the masterpieces of the Van Gogh Museum, taste traditional Dutch specialties, learn how to make the best Stroopwafel and spend a spectacular day surrounded by millions of flowers at Keukenhof Gardens.
Then we travel by high-speed train to London, where royal heritage, grand architecture, celebrated markets, elegant afternoon tea, and a special West End theatre evening create a complete introduction to one of the world’s most important cities. The journey then slows down as we travel through historic Oxford and into the English Countryside. Staying at a charming countryside manor while exploring honey-colored villages, traditional markets, local boutiques, peaceful gardens, Blenheim Palace, and the rolling green landscapes of the Cotswolds. We finish in Windsor with a special farewell dinner near one of England’s most recognizable royal residences the Windsor Castle, creating a memorable and elegant conclusion to the tour.
What makes this experience especially unique is the intimate nature of the group. With participation limited to only 6–10 travelers, we can move comfortably together, enter smaller local restaurants, enjoy personalized activities, and explore neighborhoods and countryside locations that would be difficult for a traditional large tour group. Every major detail is carefully researched, planned, and organized by Adam and his team at DeSerio Tours so you can simply arrive, relax, and enjoy the journey without needing to worry about transportation, tickets, reservations, or day-to-day logistics.
This is more than a sightseeing trip. It is a thoughtfully balanced European experience filled with culture, history, food, beautiful scenery, hands-on activities, personal guidance, and unforgettable moments along the way! For more details, view Full Itinerary.
