If
you have never been to Europe, or would like to see more of it, then
this is the tour for you. Just imagine, you will be able to travel through
six countries visiting the most exciting cities in all of Europe. One
of the highlights will be visiting the Watchtower Branch Office in Selters,
Germany. Breakfast is included daily plus five dinners. The tour takes
13 days with a tour escort who travels with you for the entire trip.
This is the most comprehensive tour available for the price with your
choice of dates. It is also the best time of the year to travel as it
is less crowded.

GERMANY. Dinner will be served followed by a movie and a few hours of
rest as you cross the Atlantic Ocean to begin one of our most popular
