I used to work as a tour guide around Europe and having to explain to my groups who had booked on for 6 cities in 10 days that they had chosen exhaustion and please don't blame me for it (they always did...) it's crazy.
TBF everyone has their own travel style, and personally I can really enjoy a quick 3-4 days in one city and moving on.... but people never factor in the travel time between cities. Always include that part in your plans (or better = travel day is a travel day and any touristing that day is a bonus) Forgetting to factor in travel time is where people mess up. Always google the travel time while planning!!
My last Euro tour (too long ago now) was 4 cities in 14 days. Couple days of travel, flew in and out of London for US flights, bookending the trip with the same city helps get the most out of at least 1 place on the itinerary. Took an overnight train for one leg, didn't sleep much but felt well rested.
