Deep in the heart of Naples, Italy is the ideal launching point for exploring some of Italy's great historic treasures. Marvel at the ancient city of Pompeii, and the eerily captured devastation of Mount Vesuvius. Hop a ferry to the isle of Capri, and drive the spectacular Amalfi Coast to take in some magnificent views.

Venice, the city of winding canals, decadent buildings, faith, and romance. Tour Piazza San Marco and the Basilica of San Marco. Visit a mask shop, then take a ship to the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. As a city built on water, its very existence, floating as if on a dream, is an amazing experience to behold.

Sun, olive trees and cicadas - we're in the heart of France. With our base in the sleepy town of St. Remy, we make forays into the villages, countryside and cities of Provence. On the itinerary are driving tours of the Alpilles and Luberon regions, visits to the delightful cities of Aries, Avignon, and Aix-en-Provence, and a dip in the Mediterranean at the seaside village of Cassis.

For centuries, Belgium has been a sophisticated hub for gourmets and connoisseurs. In true Belgian style, we treat ourselves to superb chocolate and sample first-rate beer. We indulge our senses with folk music and Bruegel paintings, and investigate the people's passion for comic strips.

The country of the Netherlands inspired the Dutch masters and became a powerhouse that conquered the sea. We bicycle to Amsterdam's great art museums to see the works of Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Then we climb to the attic where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis. Later, we prowl windmills and check out Amsterdam's infamous red-light district.
