Discover our tours to Europe

Europe’s cultural heritage is second-to-none. Legacies of Greek and Roman empires are ever-present throughout the continent – from amphitheatres and aqueducts to temples and villas, especially along the shores of the Mediterranean. Travel deeper into the continent, and you’ll discover gothic cathedrals and medieval castles that tell tales of feudalism and long-lost civilisations. Every corner of Europe offers an enchanting glimpse into history and culture. Walk amongst the fairy-tale chimneys and cave dwellings of Cappadocia in Turkey and join your local tour leader to see Sofia’s colourful church murals, and Communist bronze statues and sacred relics in Bulgaria

Beyond its history, Europe’s astonishing natural beauty offers plenty of active adventures to enjoy in Europe, too. Hike the many striking mountain ranges on our Europe walking holidays. Or, for a more gentle excursion, wonder the verdant hills of Andalucia in Spain, take in the dazzling Adriatic Sea in Croatia, cruise the Greek Island of Evia, or kayak over the sunken city of Kekova in Turkey.

Europe is also a haven for cyclists. Fill your lungs with the fragrant notes of lavender and pedal through deserted villages in Croatia, visit the old-world cities of Portugal, ride past a sea of pink flowers flowing through the valleys in Murcia, Spain, or cycle through the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania on an unforgettable cultural tour.


With our latest collection of premium, small group travel tours, Explore Upgraded in Europe, you can enjoy the same Explore experience but with the added comfort of premium accommodation.
