New Year’s Eve Tours

Expect a festive, well-paced itinerary filled with celebratory energy. You’ll enjoy guided sightseeing in each destination, take part in local New Year’s traditions, and have time to explore, dine, and soak up the excitement of the season—all with the ease of expert planning and support.

To enjoy your New Year’s Eve Tour, you’ll want to look at the suggested packing list for your tour and check your destination’s weather ahead of time. In London, it might be chilly, but in Lima, it will be summertime.

For the big night, think layers, sparkle, and comfort. You’ll want warm clothes for evenings outside (fireworks aren’t quite as fun if you’re shivering), plus something a little festive—whether that’s a chic outfit for your group’s special dinner or just a scarf with some shimmer. Comfortable shoes are a must since you might be walking or standing for the countdown. Don’t forget the basics, like gloves, a travel adapter, and any personal meds. And if you like to toast in style, tuck a little sparkle of your own into your suitcase, like a party hat or glittery accessories.

Packing highlights:

• Warm layers for outdoor celebrations
• A festive outfit or accessories for New Year’s Eve night
• Comfortable walking shoes
• Gloves, hats, or scarves for chilly evenings
• Travel adapter and chargers
• Personal essentials (medications, toiletries, etc.)
• Something fun for the countdown (party hat, sparkly scarf, noise-maker)

It depends on what kind of celebration you’re after—each city adds its own flavor to the countdown.

• London: The city’s mix of royal tradition and modern energy makes Big Ben’s midnight chimes feel larger than life. Join the crowds along the Thames as fireworks explode over landmarks you’ve seen in storybooks.
• Paris: Midnight on the Champs-Elysees feels like pure magic, with the Arc de Triomphe lit up and the Eiffel Tower sparkling nearby. Add Champagne, oysters, and cheek-to-cheek toasts, and you’ve got the quintessential Parisian fete.
• Rome: The Eternal City comes alive with feasts of lentils and pork, concerts in historic piazzas, and fireworks bursting over ruins that have seen millennia of celebrations.
• Madrid: For a night that doesn’t end, Madrid is the place. Eat your 12 lucky grapes with thousands at Puerta del Sol, then keep the party rolling through dawn with churros and chocolate.
• Lima: Ring in the new year by the Pacific, where fireworks light up the coastline and traditions—like wearing yellow for good luck—make the night unforgettable.
• Florence: Picture yourself in a Renaissance piazza, prosecco in hand, music spilling into cobbled streets, and Tuscan hospitality warming the winter night.
