Rolling Travel

Planning a trip to europe. Does anybody know a really good travel agent.?

We want to spend the majority of the time in Paris and Amsterdam, but also would like to visit Germany, maybe Italy, Prague. We want to fly business class or better. We have 13days from take off to landing back at home. We don't want to skimp on the trip, but we also are not rolling in dough here.

I am not a travel agent, but I think 5 places is too much. Day's 1 & 2 will be spent getting to Europe and day 13 will be spent getting home. That leaves you 10 actual sightseeing days. If you want to also visit other cities the trip there will take another full day (each).

You can save substantially by booking Business Class well in advance:

Stay at nice hotels in the city center. In Paris it's important to stay at a hotel close to a Metro (subway) stop as the Metro is by far the best way to get around.

I think you should fly TO Amsterdam, which is an easier arrivals airport than Paris.

Spend half of your trip there, and explore the Netherlands a bit. Take the train to Paris. The trip will eat up most of a day even though the actual trip is only a bit over 3 hours. The trains also go from city-center to city-center so you just take a taxi to/from the station. Five days in Paris is barely enough to just look at the famous sites but it will give you a feel for the city.

Fly home FROM Paris.

Flying TO one city and back FROM another city is called an "open jaw" ticket. They are normal and you can book them on the websites by using the "multi-city" option. You can also just call the airline and talk to a human.

Good luck!
