Personally I would add time to Paris and reduce Amsterdam and München (Munich) - unless the Amsterdam 4 days actually means the Netherlands 4 days (= you will see other places than the city itself - there are soo many interesting places in Netherlands - and belgium too).
Are the travelling days included or on top of the days you mention: i.e. "Brussels 2 days" = day 1 travel to Brussels, find ho(s)tel etc, day 2 the only day in Brussels - or will you have 2 full days in Brussels (3 nights?). If the travelling days are included in the number of days mentioned the tour is a bit rushed.

Enjoy your trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRW, you will not be disappointed in Brugge.

| andyhants14:42 UTC25 Jun 2007 | My only comment would be that you've got 9 days down for England/Scotland, and they're all in the cities - I'd really recommend a couple of nights in the country or smaller towns, perhaps Yorkshire or Derbyshire on the way up to Scotland, or a night in Fort William in the highloands of Scotland. See some of our glorious countryside! Munich is a great place to be based for 4 days as there are some great day trips you can do from there - or just sit in the beer gardens!
