Why it's a deal: In a recent Kayak search, we found a multicity fare (New York City to Amsterdam, Paris to New York City) for $740 in mid-October (SAS). For $1,339 more, this package covers airfare, plus bus transportation between Amsterdam, Brussels, Brugge, and Paris, airport transfers, six nights' accommodations, six meals, four guided city tours, the services of a guide throughout the trip, and all taxes and fees. Plus, you get the added convenience of all-in-one booking.

More: Several optional tours are available, including a guided visit to the Louvre for an additional $75 per person. Add pre-tour nights in Amsterdam at various hotels, including the Wyndham Apollo from an additional $93 per person per night, based on double occupancy. It's also possible to add extra nights in Paris at the end of the trip at several hotels; rates vary by hotel and departure date.
