The clichés are true.
Chocolate is tastier from confectioneries in Swiss villages, Mediterranean sunsets look like impressionist paintings, and the Roman Empire’s influences are found in every corner of the continent. But when you travel in Europe, you also discover things you never imagined. You experience Italian mountains adorned with pagan myths; ancient Spanish cities dangling off the sides of cliffs; and pastel de nata that redefines the simple egg custard tart.
On our tours, we focus on the unexpected joys of Europe instead of the stereotypes. We do this to avoid the crowds and let you enjoy the true soul of the continent. You travel on mini-coaches with an expert driver and guide, stay in hand-picked accommodation, choose the attractions you pay for, support local communities, and go beyond the guidebooks. Discover our fresh style of small group tours in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Switzerland below.

Gaze from a rampart and imagine a stampede of warriors; feel the breath of past prayers in a Gothic cathedral; and envision the masters in Renaissance Florence: Our story-telling guides take you back in time.
