For those thinking about a tour of Europe the best way to do that is by train.
Here’s a list of train operators so you can check prices, do not get train prices from RailEurope as this is an agency that charges substantial fees in addition to the ticket prices.,
Paris-London-Brussels: www.eurostar.com . Tickets go on sale 120 days before travel.
France: www.tgv-europe.com/en but say you are from Great Britain. If you say you are from North America, you may get transferred to RailEurope with its higher prices. Tickets go on sale 90 days before travel.
Italy: www.trenitalia.it/homepage_en.html but it is highly unlikely you will be able to book through this site, as it hardly ever accepts cards issued outside Europe. If you have problems, just buy the train tickets in Italy.
You will not get "screwed over" if you buy your tickets in Europe: the tickets will be at the published prices. However, many of the operators offer substantial discounts for advanced purchases over the net. The cheap tickets can sell out quickly, so get in early if you can.
I also recommend checking out the website of Rick Steves, www.ricksteves.com, and his travel books.
