Amsterdam, Paris, Rome & Amalfi Coast
The Grand Tour of Europe
A fully bespoke luxury journey, designed entirely around you.
DURATION
15 Days
BEST TIME TO GO
May – September
IDEAL FOR
Families, couples, and first-time luxury travelers
A sweeping journey through Europe's most iconic cities — Amsterdam's canals, Paris's grand boulevards, Rome's ancient grandeur, and the Amalfi Coast's sun-drenched cliffs. Designed for travelers who want it all, beautifully arranged.
This 15-day journey is the definitive Grand Tour of Europe — a meticulously curated passage through four of the continent's most celebrated destinations, each chosen for its extraordinary cultural depth, architectural beauty, and capacity for exclusive, behind-the-scenes access.
Begin in Amsterdam, where four nights at De L'Europe immerse you in the Dutch Golden Age: private museum access before public hours, a golden-hour canal cruise through UNESCO-listed waterways, and a full-day excursion to Keukenhof's seven million tulips.
Fly to Paris for four nights at Hôtel Plaza Athénée on Avenue Montaigne. Exclusive pre-opening access to the Louvre, dinner at Jules Verne on the Eiffel Tower, a full-day private Versailles excursion, and a Seine River dinner cruise illuminate the City of Light from every angle.
Three nights at Hotel Hassler Roma — perched atop the Spanish Steps — deliver Rome's most powerful experiences: an exclusive after-hours tour of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel in near-total silence, underground Colosseum access, and the Eternal City illuminated after dark.
The journey culminates on the Amalfi Coast. Travel by first-class high-speed train and private driver to the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento. A full-day private yacht charter explores hidden coves, the Emerald Grotto, and Capri's Blue Grotto with a private chef on board. The Terrace of Infinity in Ravello and a walking tour of ancient Amalfi complete this extraordinary European odyssey.
Every Haute Black itinerary is fully bespoke. While this journey represents our curated recommendation, your dedicated travel specialist will tailor every element — from private museum access and dining reservations to accommodations and transfer logistics — to match your preferences, pace, and interests.
Our team handles all logistics seamlessly: private airport transfers, inter-city flights, first-class train bookings, yacht charters, priority restaurant reservations, VIP museum access, and 24/7 concierge support throughout your journey.
The Journey
Your Itinerary
Chapter 01
Chapter 01 — Amsterdam — Golden Age & Canal Light
Check in at De L'Europe Amsterdam for four nights on the banks of the river Amstel. A private guided tour of the Van Gogh Museum reveals the artist's luminous evolution, followed by a golden-hour canal cruise through the UNESCO-listed canal ring with champagne and Dutch charcuterie. Early-morning private access to the Rijksmuseum places you alone before Rembrandt's Night Watch and Vermeer's Milkmaid. Priority entry at the Anne Frank House with a dedicated historian provides deep, personal context. A full-day private excursion to Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse immerses you in over seven million tulips across 79 acres in full bloom.
Chapter 02
Chapter 02 — Paris — The City of Light
Fly to Paris and settle into Hôtel Plaza Athénée on Avenue Montaigne for four nights. A private Seine dinner cruise glides past Notre-Dame and the illuminated Eiffel Tower with a three-course meal by a private chef. Exclusive pre-opening access to the Louvre with a dedicated art historian lets you stand before the Mona Lisa in silence. Dinner at Jules Verne on the Eiffel Tower's second floor, accessed by private elevator. A full-day VIP excursion to the Palace of Versailles explores the Hall of Mirrors and the Trianon estates. A private Impressionist tour of Musée d'Orsay and a walking tour of Montmartre complete the chapter.

Chapter 03 — Rome — The Eternal City

Rome by Night—a private walking tour past the illuminated Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Piazza Navona—caps the Roman chapter.
Chapter 04
Chapter 04 — Sorrento & Amalfi Coast — Mediterranean Finale

Completely. Every HauteBlack journey is a starting point, not a fixed package. Your dedicated travel advisor will reshape every element — accommodations, pacing, dining, private guides, and experiences — entirely around your preferences, travel style, and what you want to remember. Nothing is off the shelf.
