<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The escorted, self-drive Tour De Europe was first held in 2012.\u00a0 Its success is confirmed by the number of travellers who have rebooked for next year\u2019s event.\u00a0 The 2014 event is a guaranteed departure as a result of the number of confirmed early bookings, but will be capped to a maximum of 40 people.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Tour Director, Harry Cadle*, said that travelling Europe by road, especially in the company of others, is the best way to maximise the experience.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cRiver cruising is a great alternative but you are restricted to activities along or close to the riverbank,\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u201cBus touring is tiring and there is no flexibility, whereas travelling by road allows you to stop where you want, divert off the main roads when you want, and discover things that organised tours won\u2019t allow.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWe only use brand new, GPS-enabled vehicles which are fully insured by Citroen DriveEurope, so you are getting luxury, safety and support along the entire route.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\"Mike\u201cEach GPS is pre-programmed by me for peace of mind for those who want to follow the designated route.\u201d<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Mike Brady, a popular host on Melbourne radio 3AW and singer\/songwriter of the AFL anthem, \u2018Up There Cazaly\u2019, said one of the great advantages of an escorted self-drive tour is that people can travel in convoy or \u201cdo their own thing\u201d before meeting up at the hotel at night.\u00a0 Based on the 2012 experience, more two night stays and 5-star hotels along the route have been added.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
The cost for accommodation, car lease, all breakfasts and selected other meals are from $9,250 per person based on twin share.\u00a0 Vehicle and accommodation upgrades are available.\u00a0 Also included is a tour guide book, clothing and an experienced Tour Director.\u00a0 *Harry Cadle is one of Australia\u2019s most experienced road event specialists who ran the Victorian Variety \u2018Bash\u2019 for 16 years, making it one of the most popular in Australia.\u00a0 He also designed and ran the Variety International \u2018Bash\u2019.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
People with limited mobility are welcome.\u00a0 The Tour Director holds Level 2 First Aid Qualifications.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Vehicles can be returned to Citroen at Frankfurt or tour participants can take advantage of extra free days of car hire if they wish to continue travelling, (applicable if booked before 31st<\/sup>\u00a0March.)<\/span><\/div>\n
