Make your own way to London St. Pancras International where you will meet your friendly Tour Manager and board Eurostar to Paris. From here, we join the TGV to Nice and transfer by coach to San Remo on the beautiful Italian Riviera.
Dec 23 - Free Time in San Remo & Guided Walking Tour
This morning is free for you to spend at leisure in San Remo. You can relax in our hotel and enjoy the facilities, walk along the beach, or venture into the old town. We include lunch at the hotel before our local guide takes us on a walking tour of San Remo this afternoon.
The most interesting part of the city runs from the old town, the so-called La Pigna down to the sea. In Matteotti Street, admire the Casino and beautiful villas with their exotic gardens. Both lunch and dinner are included in the hotel’s restaurant.

Christmas Eve - Dolceacqua & Isolabona with Wine Tasting
Today, we travel by coach to the hilltop village of Dolceacqua, which enjoys a picture-perfect setting and is filled with striking architecture. The River Nervia runs through its heart, separating the village into two parts – the oldest called Terra, which is dominated by the Doria Castle, and the newest called Borgo. Both are connected by a spectacular medieval bridge, described by Claude Monet as "a jewel of lightness".
We then continue to Isolabona, a charming inland town of narrow alleys and stone houses, where you can enjoy a tasting of local Ligurian wines. We return to the hotel by coach and enjoy dinner in the hotel.

During your free time, explore Le Rocher, the historic heart of the Principality, with its medieval streets and sweeping Mediterranean views, then enjoy the festive atmosphere at the Christmas Village by the harbour and the dazzling lights around the casino, avenues, and squares.
