THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE IS YOURS

Europe: it means both old castles and modern galleries, natural beauty and cosmopolit­an thrills – as ancient as it is modern. How do you tackle such a diverse holiday destinatio­n? The answer: APT’s Freedom of Choice touring.

With you in the driver’s seat, you and your travel partners can have completely different experience­s at the same stop, only to reunite over onboard drinks in the evening.

100 kilometres west of Vienna is Melk, a beautiful Austrian town sitting on the Danube River on the edge of the lush Wachau Valley. Varied and unique, a holiday stopover here could mean any number of things. A river cruise? Check. A stroll over the medieval cobbleston­e streets, taking in the history and the architectu­re? Check. A guided bike ride through the wondrous valley to get those endorphins flowing? Check. Or what about a working stint at a local vineyard, followed by a wine-tasting to enjoy the fruits of your labour? Checkmate.

Each option is unique to a holiday lifestyle you choose, and each option is available through APT’s all-inclusive Freedom of Choice touring. With you in the driver’s seat, you and your travel partners can have completely different experience­s at the same stop, only to reunite over onboard drinks in the evening. You might want to go for some Cultural Insight or Gourmet Delight, or Relax and Revive before some Active Exploratio­n. Or why not do a different option each day? Just as you can choose how to spend your time in the grand old town of Melk, so too can you choose how you travel next to Europe – by river, rail, land or sea.

Whether it’s the Netherland­s, Hungary, Italy, France or Portugal – with a personalis­ed tour from APT and a choice of onshore excursions, the whole of Europe is your oyster. Tackle it any way you like.
