Is this through a tour company or travel agent?

Just asking because it looks like an AAA arranged trip. The private transfers and hotels have me wondering.

You have two identical threads going at the same time. And yes, the rail passes and private transfers are an indication that someone is bilking you out of a bunch of money for this trip, which you could probably do for half that amount.

This is a confusing post. I'm not sure what you're asking about. If you only want to know if you have too many locations then you don't need to add all the other information.

If you're asking for more than what you have in your thread title then please identify what exactly you need to know/need help with.

Once I took out the extraneous information this is the itinerary:

London - 4 Nights
Madrid - 3 Nights (incl Toledo day tour)
Barcelona - 4 Nights
Fussen - 1 Night
Munich - 5 Nights
Rudesheim - 2 Nights
Amsterdam - 3 Nights

It would be too much moving around for me and not enough time in each location but

Why are you going to Fussen for 1 night? It's only 2 hours from Munich. Why move hotels? You can see Fussen as a day trip.

I also don't understand the need for a train pass, particularly using a pass to go from the airport to the main train station in Munich?

Since this poster has two identical threads going, can we try and keep this to one thread?

This one? http://www.fodors.com/community/euro...p-463324-2.cfm
