Europe tours

With a trip to Europe, you’ll fill your heart (and camera roll!) with history, culture, and natural beauty. In one continent, you can wander ancient cities, experience vibrant art and food scenes, get your feet wet in lakes, seas, and oceans, and gaze across Alpine vistas or rugged Highlands. Start small or go on a grand tour—we’re here to show you around.

What to know before you go

COUNTRIES ON TOUR
Our Europe tours take travelers from Portugal to Romania, and Norway to Italy. Crystalline beaches, lush alpine forests, ancient monuments, and bastions of culture: you’ll find all these and so much more.

MAJOR CITIES
At first glance, Europe’s calling cards might be London, Paris, and Rome—timeless capitals are always in season. Take the path less traveled (think: Bratislava, Helsinki, and Valletta) to discover your unexpected new favorite place.

CULTURAL QUICK TAKE
The three-cheek kiss in Provence, a rich espresso sipped al banco in Naples, the cascading laughter that can only come when the craic is flowing in Dublin—there are countless of small, if-you-know-you-know traditions for you to discover.

WHAT TO GO FOR
The ancient ruins of the Colosseum and the Parthenon. The whitewashed villages on Santorini. Art around every corner. The light fog rising off the Scottish Highlands. Gelato. Croissants. Pasteis de nata. It’s a feast for the senses, no matter which Europe tour you choose.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES ON TOUR
An overnight stay in a castle? A train ride through the Swiss Alps? A pasta-making class in Rome? They’re all waiting for you on tour.
