| AMALFI COAST | ||
 |
Everywhere you turn, discover another out-of-this-world view from the panoramic Amalfi coastline. Laura takes us on a tour of Amalfi, Priano, Ravello and Positano, once a tiny fishing village and now a celebrity hideout. We'll browse the local arts and crafts, and along the way, we'll stop and visit with a cameo carver. Later, Laura samples Italian doughnuts and gelati. To walk it off, she'll climb the steps of St. Andrew's Cathedral. Amalfi is paradise and a lazy stroll through the Rufolo Gardens and Emerald Grotto are on Laura's hiti-list of essentials. Then join Laura for the ride of a lifetime as she drives the Amalfi coastline. It's simply stunning. | |
BUDAPEST |

 |
A colorful city steeped in history, Budapest is a delight for all of your five senses.

And you'll get a glimpse into Budapest's glorious past with a visit to St. Stephen Cathedral and its legendary relics. And wait until you see the food and wine Budapest has to offer. You're gonna love it! | |
| ATHENS |

The conveniences of modern city life combined with the classic elegance of yesteryear, Athens is the perfect mix. Laura visits all her favorite ancient ruins, from the Acropolis to the Roman Agora, the old stomping grounds of Pericles and Socrates. While Laura explores all the antique wonders Athens offers, she also gets a lesson in architecture. Come along with Laura as she browses a local flea market. Glimpse the shops, newsstands, and late-night kiosks surrounding the square. Restaurants are plentiful and offer up just about anything you can dream of. Join Laura in the birthplace of democracy and beauty, and you'll soon see why! | |
AMSTERDAM |
||
 |
A city of extremes, Amsterdam is certainly one of the most interesting places in all of Europe. Laura takes us on a canal cruise to give us our first look at this beautiful city and its rich history. She'll show us Amsterdam's narrow row houses and learn why they were built that way. We'll visit the world famous flower market and learn how diamonds are cut and what to look for when purchasing one. We'll take a day trip past whimsical windmills to the quaint little town of Volendam and visit with people there festooned in traditional costume and clogs. And what trip to Holland would be complete without a visit to a cheese factory. | |
