Our tour will be a treasured experience. Based on extensive knowledge and many years of travel on the Continent we can offer the best European tour available.

Venice and the Veneto

We head out from the UK to our first stop - Venice, Europe’s masterpiece. We cruise across the lagoon to visit this unique city where there are no roads, only canals. Visit the Bridge of Sighs or St. Mark’s Square, explore the backstreets or relax on a gondola ride. Throughout our time in Italy we stay in three-star hotels.

Sights and sounds of Rome

Rome, the capital of Italy, boasts a stunning array of sights to match its celebrated past – from the Colosseum and the triumphal arches to the Catacombs, from St Peter’s and the Vatican City to the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain.

Tuscany and the Italian Lakes

The highlights of Tuscany are the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa and the architectural magnificence of Florence. After visiting these sights, we enjoy relaxing in the magnificent Alpine region of Lake Maggiore, famed for its temperate climate and breathtaking beauty.

The beautiful Austrian Alps

The Austrian Tirol is a land of beautiful scenery, with rushing streams and small villages nestling at the foot of mighty mountains. We stay in a friendly three-star hotel in the heart of this wonderful region and explore its highlights.

Ancient towns and amazing natural displays

Innsbruck is an ancient university town with narrow, irregular streets and its famous 15^th-century Golden Roof. At the spectacular Krimml Waterfalls, the water bounces off the rocks as it crashes from a height of 380m. We also take the opportunity to explore Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart and the setting for ‘The Sound of Music’.

The outstanding region of Bavaria

Bavaria is a beautiful region of picturesque towns and stunning castles. The cultural centre of this area is Munich. This is an intriguing city with its palace, Old Town, market stalls, and some of the best art galleries in the world. On our way to Munich we stop at Kufstein, where the castle dominates the town below.  

The chic city of Paris

Paris, the cosmopolitan, capital of France has so much to explore! The amazing range of sights includes the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre and Champs Elysées. You can also sit and sip coffee at a Parisian pavement café and watch the world go by or take a cruise on the River Seine.
