Why an Escorted Tour of Europe?

When thinking about travel to Europe, it can be daunting to consider all of the details such as places to stay, things to do, foods to try, and what’s most important to see. While there are many ways to approach planning a trip to Europe, guided tours offer a great balance of having a wide variety of experiences, allowing the traveler to benefit from the expertise of the tour company that planned the itinerary, and being supported by a guide who will accompany the travelers throughout their trip. In addition to being a fun and low stress way to travel to Europe, a guided tour of Europe offers numerous other advantages too, making it a compelling option for many travelers.

Escorted Tours are Exciting, yet Carefree

Escorted tours of Europe provide a carefree, yet exciting experience. An escorted tour of Europe is by far the best way to sample all that Europe has to offer. Hotels are expecting you, meals are served in a timely manner, and your professional tour manager sees to it that your tour goes off without a hitch. In short, you don't have to worry about a thing, except enjoying yourself. You can focus on Europe's beautiful scenery, rich history, splendid art & architecture, delicious food, wonderful people, and grand traditions. Experienced drivers save you time on the road, taking you to more interesting places than you would find on your own, thus leaving you more time for sightseeing, shopping and exploring. Our tour managers make the difference between just visiting and actually experiencing the many places of scenic, architectural, and historic significance. Their care and attention to detail will make your European Tour 'a trip of a lifetime'.

Expertise of Local Guides

These professionals offer valuable insights into the history, culture, and hidden treasures of each destination. Their knowledge enhances the travel experience by providing context that goes beyond what’s available in standard travel guides. For instance, a local guide might share fascinating anecdotes about a historical site or lead you to lesser known but equally impressive attractions that you might not discover on your own.

Well-Planned Itinerary

A good itinerary will balance major landmarks with unique experiences. This thoughtful planning ensures that travelers can enjoy a diverse range of activities, from visiting iconic sites like the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Colosseum in Rome to exploring charming, off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods and small mountain villages in Austria or Switzerland. The structured schedule helps maximize the value of your trip, ensuring you see and do as much as possible within a set time frame.

Escorted Tours allow you to Set you Own Pace

Throughout your escorted tour, you will have the choice between participating in the scheduled activity, exploring on your own, or just taking it easy. Typical time spent on the motor coach between stops is only 1 ½ hours. This not only allows you to pursue some of your personal interests, but it also allows you to set your own pace.

Make New Friends

Escorted tours often facilitate social interaction among travelers. Being part of a group with shared interests can lead to new friendships and enhance the overall enjoyment of the trip. Group activities and shared experiences create a sense of camaraderie and can make the journey more enjoyable and memorable.
