Europe Your Own Way invites you to join us for a tour across the major cities in 5 different countries (The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, and Germany)! Itinerary starts in Amsterdam and ends in either Geneva or Munich (you choose the length of your tour). Highlights include sightseeing in Amsterdam, Brussels/Bruges, Paris, and Geneva.
If you choose to do the full tour, you will also get in some hiking in Switzerland (around Lucerne) and a visit to Munich. And while we’re there, those interested are welcome to do drop-in workouts at F45 studios with me. For fellow F45 members, the drop-ins are free as part of the “passport” program, but non-members are also welcome to join the fun – you would just have to pay the drop-in fee. Transportation during this trip will primarily be by train.
