Day 1

Leave London St Pancras by Eurostar in the morning or early afternoon. Upon arrival in Brussels, meet your Tour Manager and transfer to your hotel. You'll then have the rest of the day free to relax.

Day 2

At around 1pm today we'll board the coach and travel to Maastricht. For the rest of the afternoon and early evening, wander the pedestrianised, cobbled streets around Vrijthof Square and explore the attractive shops, cafes and bars. Alternatively, join our optional private dinner river cruise, and enjoy a welcome drink, a two-course buffet dinner (mains and dessert), as your knowledgeable guide brings the city to life, pointing out historic sights and places of interest, including Andre Rieu's castle home on St Pieter's Hill. In the evening, take your seat in the Vrijthof Square for the highlight of your break - André Rieu and The Johann Strauss Orchestra in concert. In this magical setting, they'll perform music from across Andre's repertoire, including classical greats and themes from operas, musicals and films, as well as his trademark waltzes. After this not-to-be-missed experience, you’ll make your way to your coach for a late return to your hotel.

Day 3

After some free time, return to Brussels Midi to begin your Eurostar journey home (departing in the afternoon or early evening), at the end of a wonderful concert break.
