My daughter and I are planning to go to Europe on Mid April 2013 and wants to see this places. Can you suggest a tour which will include the places we want to see. Thanks and hoping for your help. PARIS, FRANCE Pont Alexandre III Eiffel Tower Arc De Triomphe Basically going around the city since these places are seen around and can just be a stop for pictures. No need to stay for long. Luxembourg Gardens (Last stop) - These formal gardens, open to only royalty before the French Revolution, now serve as one of Paris's most popular destinations for relaxation. If we have time we may still be able to look for places to go Churches and other historical landmarks Sainte-Chapel Notre Dame Cathedral Sacred Heart Basilica of Montmartre (Sacre-Coeur) Musee du Louvre If we have time we may still be able to look for places to go Palace of Versailles (This might take the whole day) Disneyland is optional in this trip BARCELONA, SPAIN Refer to: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Guide-g187497-l51-Barcelona_Catalonia.html That article is named 3 days in Barcelona and has a list of places to go per day *We may take an extra day for shopping because it is cheaper in Spain VENICE, ITALY Grand Canal (Let's rent a gondola!!! Joke lang...) St. Marks's Basilica and square
Torre dell'Orologio (just at the north side St. Mark's square)

Kit may I ask how long you would make this visit.
Also most of us here plan our own trips and enjoy doing that . Rick Steves does wonderful tours, but I have a feeling they may not fit you, they do not just do Paris , Venice and Barcelona. I suggest you just find a big bus tour you like , there are Trafaglar, Globus, and Cosmos that seem to have many choices, they are reputable companies.

kit, As Pat mentioned, it would help to know what kind of time frame you're working with? You've mentioned three different cities which are geographically distant from each other, so transportation times will also be an issue. As your trip takes place in only a few months, you'll need to get some detailed planning done SOON! I don't know of any tour that covers the specific sights in each of the cities you mentioned. For that Itinerary, I suspect you'll need to use self-guided travel. A good place to start would be to have a look at Guidebooks for each of the cities you want to visit. Are you able to get Rick Steves Guidebooks in your area? Good luck with your planning!

Thinking of 2 weeks if that would be enough.

kit, With only two weeks to cover the places you listed, I suspect you'll be receiving a LOT of replies very shortly, and I doubt that many of them will be favourable. It's "late" here and I'm not focusing too well, so I'll try and have another look at your questions tomorrow. Cheers!

Mabuhay, I would recommned that you check far in advance to ensure that you don't have any problems getting the tourist visas. I've had friends and relatives (in laws) from the Philippines experience difficulty visiting us here in Europe before, just want to make sure you don't have issues.
