Our Multi-Country tours are a great way to see a lot of Europe, with hotel accommodation every night. Our hand-picked Feature Hotels offer an extra special spot of glam. Think a Château in France, a Roman Villa, amazing hotels in the Swiss Alps or a Greek Island beach resort for the ultimate summer experience.

Authentic, local food is an important part of In-Depth Regional tours - every included dinner is in one of our favourite restaurants for those authentic local flavours. We’ve got cruising trips in Croatia, the Greek Islands & Turkey and the Nile where you can experience Europe & Egypt from a different angle. And what’s best is that many of our tours operate in winter too. Look for the symbol for our year-round tours. Easy Pace With minimum 2 & 3 night stays & often later starts in the morning, our Easy Pace tours offer a more relaxed way to see Europe. Plus, you still get authentic meals, local experiences & more time to get under the skin of the places you visit. Look out for the pink “Easy Pace” symbol on the tour pages.
