A multi-country tour!!!

[jago]

Hi' my name's vivian and I'm living in London and i want to take a tour with my parents to diferent countries in Europe.

We want this tour to end in Spain, cause my parents want to stay there before they return to their home in Colombia and i will return to London with the tour.

We want a cheap vacation also.

So i would appreciate any suggestions.

thanks

First of all, a couple of questions:

1. When do you plan to do this?

2. How long do you have available?

If you are based in London and your parents will meet up with you there, perhaps you could arrange a coach tour in the UK first, then organise another one to continental Europe. However, if your parents will leave the tour in Spain (i.e. about half way through the trip) it might make the cost poor value for money.

May be difficult to arrange without the help of a travel agent to plan the route and return travel for you to UK.

For escorted tours, see: http://www.consorttravel.com/about/index.php for one example, but it may be easier to get a rail pass (one such supplierre: http://www.europeonrail.com/ and just make your own way round the countries you want to see, then leaving the family to make their own way home as you return. Rail is a safe and practical option, and gts you to the city centres, unlike some of the cheap flights which require some onward connections to the cities.

i'm planning to do this the next month, for 15 or 20 days.

Thanks for the advice.

If any one can give another option i will be thankful!.

If you plan a self drive holiday I can give you lots of ideas as I've done the trip at least 20 times U.K./Spain using different routes and there are som lovely options through France Andorra etc where you can see a lot of places without too long dailt drives.If there are more than one of you driving you should see a great deal in 2/3 weeks without ever being overtired

P.S. forgot to mention France has an excellent choice of budget accommodation available with super value motels always close to budget eating places If you want more help post an answer to this and i'll email you directly if you give me your adress
