    I would like to go to Europe with my parents and I am thinking about taking a Europe tour package. I am not too certain on how tour packages work and would require some help from the members on some of the queries I have regarding a Europe tour package from Delhi.

    1. How many days is a Europe tour package available for?

    2. How many countries to visit in Europe does it include?

    3. Whats the average cost for a tour package to Europe?

    You already have a lot of suggestions from the poster above. I have gone an Europe tour that covered 7 countries UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland and Belgium.
    We took the SOTC package. I could say I have brought back great memories but did have a few disappointments. I was particularly keen on seeing tulips in Amsterdam but missed the season by 15 days. Our London stay was a mess as we landed there on a weekend when most shops were closed as well as the activity one sees at the Buckingham Palace was not there. You need to see what you would want in particular and question the Agent before booking your package.
