Whether you'd like a guide at your side every day or the freedom to explore on your own, we'll help you choose the right way to see the world.

Guided & escorted tours

Sit back and let the expert lead

A professional tour director travels with your group from start to finish, with local guides joining in each city. Hotels, most breakfasts and many dinners, luggage handling, coach transportation and entrance fees are arranged in advance — you simply show up and enjoy.

  • Ideal for first trips abroad and for travelers who prefer not to drive
  • Skip-the-line access to major sights and museums
  • Built-in companionship — many travelers make lifelong friends
  • Small-group options for a more personal pace

Your itinerary, your pace

F.I.T. — Flexible Independent Travel — means a tour built just for you. We pre-arrange your hotels, rail tickets or rental car, and private guides or day tours where they add the most, then leave the rest of your time open to wander.

  • Travel on your own dates, with no fixed group schedule
  • Linger where you love it; skip what doesn't interest you
  • Private guides and drivers for a day, a city or the whole trip
  • Perfect for couples, families and seasoned travelers
Activity levels

How active do you want to be?

Tours are graded so you know what to expect. We'll match you to the right pace.

Easy

Leisurely

Short walks on mostly level ground, plenty of coach or boat time, and relaxed mornings. Great for multi-generation groups and anyone with limited mobility.

Moderate

On your feet

A few hours of walking a day, including cobblestones, hills and stairs in old towns. The typical European city tour.

Active

Adventurous

Longer hikes, higher altitudes or cycling — think hiking in the Swiss Alps or walking the Cinque Terre. A good level of fitness is recommended.
