Three capitals, a night at sea and the snow peaks of the Bernese Oberland — this 12 Days London Amsterdam Paris Switzerland Tour is a guided group journey that begins in London and ends in Zurich, with an English-speaking guide from the first morning to the last. It is planned and supported by IMAD Travel, an IATA-certified travel agency in Hyderabad serving travellers from across India since 2011. Would you rather travel at your own pace? Our team can also arrange this same route, or a similar one, as a custom package for your family or group, with your own dates and hotels — just quote the tour code IMAD-EU-12215 when you contact us.

Hotels with breakfast, the guided city tours of London, Amsterdam and Paris, the overnight ferry to Holland, the Versailles excursion, the Seine and Lake Zurich cruises, the Eiffel Tower ticket, the Grindelwald First cable car and a lunch in the Alps are arranged before you leave. Departures run every Tuesday, and the group follows the Go English series — the whole tour is guided only in English.
Two nights in London set the tone. A local guide shows you Westminster, the Houses of Parliament, the Thames and Buckingham Palace, where the Changing of the Guard may be on during your dates. In the evening the group meets at Piccadilly for a walk through Leicester Square, Chinatown and Soho, the theatre district where London comes alive after dark. The next morning you step into the British Museum to see treasures from every civilisation, then ride to Camden for lunch at the food stalls of its famous market.
Not many coach tours of Europe include a night at sea. After a walk through Colchester, the oldest recorded town in England, you board the ferry at Harwich and sleep in an en-suite cabin as the ship crosses to Holland. You wake up at Hoek van Holland and drive to Volendam, a fishing village of wooden houses and painted boats on the old Zuiderzee. In Amsterdam the guided tour combines the windmill and Rembrandt’s statue with the elegant South District and a visit to a diamond-cutting workshop at Museum Square, ticket included. The tour ends at Central Station, leaving the evening free for the canals.
Day 5 crosses into Belgium. You stop at the Atomium, the giant steel molecule that has become the symbol of Brussels, then walk to the Grand Place, one of the most beautiful squares in Europe, and to the small, famous Manneken Pis — with time for Belgian chocolate before the drive into France.
Paris gets three nights, which is what the city deserves. The first full day takes you to the Palace of Versailles, the home of the French kings, for its Hall of Mirrors and formal gardens (entry tickets are bought locally). Back in the city you climb to Montmartre, the hilltop village of painters and cabarets below the Sacré-Cœur, and a local guide leads the panoramic tour of the grand boulevards and monuments. The next day brings the Maison Fragonard perfume museum, an hour-long cruise on the Seine under the bridges of Paris and a free afternoon — your Eiffel Tower 2nd floor ticket is included for that unforgettable view over the city.
The road south runs through the vineyards of Burgundy to Beaune, a flower-filled town known for its medieval hospice with a colourful tiled roof and its wine museum. In the afternoon you reach Lyon, the former capital of Roman Gaul and France’s food capital, where a funicular climbs to the basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière for a wide view over the Rhône and the UNESCO-listed old town.
The last three nights are in Switzerland. In Geneva you pass the Palace of Nations, see the flower clock in the English Garden and the 140-metre Jet d’Eau, then drive along Lake Geneva and Lake Neuchâtel through the Three Lakes vineyards to Zurich. With your guide you explore Zurich’s old town and banking streets before a two-hour cruise on Lake Zurich to Rapperswil, the town of roses, returning by Swiss train.
The Alpine day is the one many travellers remember most. In Grindelwald, below the north face of the Eiger, the cable car rises to First, where a cliff path leads to a suspension bridge with glaciers all around you; lunch on the mountain is included. In the afternoon you have time in Lucerne to walk the wooden Chapel Bridge by the lake. If you want snow in any season, the guide offers an optional full day to Mount Titlis, over 3,000 metres high, with its rotating cable car.
This 12 days tour suits first-time visitors to Europe who want the classic London–Paris–Switzerland trio plus Holland and Belgium in one trip; families with teenagers who will love the night ferry, the cable car and the Seine cruise; couples and honeymooners who want Paris and the Alps without planning every train; and senior travellers who prefer an English-only guide and a group to travel with. With three nights each in Paris and Zurich, the pace leaves real free time.
May, June and September give long days, green Alps and fewer crowds; July and August are warm and busy, and the departures continue through autumn. This tour needs two visas for Indian passport holders: a UK visa for London and a Schengen visa for Holland, Belgium, France and Switzerland, applied through France, where you spend the most nights. Our visa team prepares both files — start about three months before travel.
Breakfast is included every day, plus lunch on the Grindelwald day; for other meals your guide points out restaurants, and London, Amsterdam and Paris have plenty of Indian and vegetarian options. The overnight ferry uses cabins, and when cabins are full the supplier may switch to a day ferry with a night in Antwerp, or a train or flight to Amsterdam; the Lyon night is sometimes in nearby Chambéry. International flights into London and out of Zurich are booked separately — our team can book them from any Indian city. Prices start from €2,299 per person (₹2,52,890 at €1 = ₹110, October 2026) on twin sharing, excluding GST and TCS, and are recalculated for your exact travel dates.
Want Italy too? The 15 days Europe tour with London, Amsterdam, Paris, Switzerland and Rome follows this route and continues south. Short on time, try the 7 days Paris and Switzerland tour, or go deeper into the Alps on the 9 days Switzerland tour with Lucerne and Interlaken.
