And if you want to take your holiday to the next level, consider choosing a Signature tour option.
Many of our European tours give you the choice between our regular Classic tour or our Signature Tours, which have smaller groups of up to 25 people and have additional Signature experiences to enhance your holiday, offering even deeper dives and broader leaps into the unknown.
We’ve also added 9 superb new Signature Tours for 2025 including a fabulous journey on Switzerland’s Golden Pass Railway, Lake Geneva & Montreux by Rail, and a fascinating introduction to one of the most famous wine regions in the world on our Bordeaux & Saint-Émilion tour with visits and tastings in historic vineyards and chateaux.
Or you might fancy exploring Dubrovnik & the Dalmatian Coast from a different perspective on our brand-new Walk & Discover adventure for those looking for something a bit more active.
Our European collection looks a little different for 2025 too. We’ve listened to our guests’ feedback and reduced the group size on our Classic Tours to a maximum of 36 – so you’ll still be able to enjoy the sociable ambience of a Riviera holiday with a touch more exclusivity.
NEW GRAND TOURS
