Europe Tours

Private Luxury European Tours

The highlights of luxury European tours are fascinating architecture, art and heritage, wine and gastronomy. Anyone can go to Europe, but to get an insider view and authentic insights, you need a tailor-made itinerary from Enchanting Travels. Not only will our bespoke tours take you to Europe’s top cosmopolitan cities, we’ll include character-filled villages and towns, and picturesque landscapes. Our guide on  when to travel to Europe  can help you decide on the ideal time to visit depending on where you want to go.

Imposing castles and medieval cathedrals are an essential part of a UK and Ireland trip. Whether it’s the Cotswolds, County Kerry, or the Isle of Skye, the countryside exudes tremendous charm. London leads the pack in iconic world cities, while Dublin and Edinburgh are literary hubs; all display cutting-edge culture, art, museums, and theater. Chat with locals at a pub and sip on a local draught, but do also set aside time for another quintessential British indulgence—full afternoon tea at a posh hotel.

Across the English Channel, relive World War II history on the sands of Normandy’s beaches in France. Paris, the stylish city by the Seine, is always utterly captivating. In Bordeaux sip the world’s best wines and savor exquisite farm-to-table meals. Provence has the perfect ambience for learning to cook classic regional dishes, against the backdrop of swaying lavender fields. From there, turn to the sun-kissed French Riviera: a paradise with luxurious accommodations, chic bars, and romantic seaside cafés.

Just across the border is Italy’s Ligurian coast with famous Portofino and uber-quaint villages. In the heart of Italy, Tuscany has everything: fabulous Renaissance art and architecture in Florence, splendid wines in Chianti, olive groves and food to warm the soul. All this complements outstanding architectural gems in Italy’s biggest cities: Rome, Florence, Milan, and Venice.

Spain is hard to resist. Seville seduces you with its live flamenco dancing, and any visit to Barcelona must pay homage to Gaudi at Sagrada Familia Basilica. Madrid’s trio of must-see museums hold stunning art collections, while in Granada it’s the Moorish palace complex of Alhambra that dominates. Loosen your belt before you arrive in Spain for it is a true gourmet paradise. Squeeze in a trip north, to sample wines and regional cuisine at prestigious wineries in Rioja and San Sebastian.

Germany too produces fine white wines, but it’s more famous for terrific beers, with Munich the undisputed beer capital. Old and new architecture stands tall: grand Romanesque churches of Cologne; the glittering modern masterpiece, the Elbphilharmonie, in Hamburg; fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle, overlooking the scenic Bavarian countryside. Vibrant Berlin and traditional Frankfurt may call out to you, but let your itinerary also include picturesque towns like Nuremberg or lovely Baden-Baden, set on the edge of the pine-scented Black Forest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Generally, we recommend visiting Europe in the shoulder seasons of spring (April to June) and fall (September to October). During these months, the weather is pleasant, with mild temperatures and fewer crowds compared to the summer months. Europe is a vast and varied continent that is beautiful all year round. A good way to decide the best time is to look at the European countries you wish to travel to, and the best season to visit them and experience the activities and attractions that interest you. The ideal timing varies by region. For instance, the  Mediterranean areas  are inviting from May to September while  Northern Europe  is best visited from June to August. Read more about  the best time to visit Europe .

In three weeks you can visit two or three European countries. You can travel to more countries if you would like to see only the most popular places and attractions. To really experience the culture, savor the cuisines and sample the best offerings, we recommend you  pick two or three countries  for your European luxury tours and spend more time discovering them. Consider an itinerary focusing on nearby countries or regions for a diverse and immersive trip.

The 15 Best Tour Operators in 2022

These are the companies Travel + Leisure readers trust to provide them with travel expertise and memorable experiences.

luxury tour operators in europe

Note: If you’re looking for our most recent recommendations, check out the 2023 list of our favorite tour operators .

When it comes to an itinerary, Travel + Leisure readers want more than a string of photo opportunities — and the right tour operator makes all the difference in creating a trip of a lifetime versus one that simply checks off a list of sights. This year, our readers were especially drawn to companies that utilize local expertise and experience to thoughtfully design trips that will entertain as well as inspire.

Every year for our World's Best Awards survey , T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Readers rated tour operators and safari outfitters based on their staff and guides, itineraries and destinations, activities, accommodations, food, and overall value.

The top picks were noted for their deep knowledge of destinations and guides who "go the extra mile." One reader who has been traveling for more than five decades said a trip with Classic Journeys (No. 2) was the "very best" they had experienced. Others noted attention to pandemic safety details, while one who went to Norway was charmed by a "wonderful surprise dinner in Bergen out on the water that was fantastic."

Tour operators that seamlessly navigated the logistics of a trip also came out on top. Quasar Expeditions (No. 9) was noted "for really planning out every detail" so that "all you have to do is show up and have a great time." Meanwhile, of TCS World Travel (No. 10), a guest said: "You never lift a finger and just spend your time actually exploring the destination." They even added that they "learned so much" along the way.

Among the five companies on this year's list that weren't on last year's were two women-only tour operators that cater to travelers of all ages. AdventureWomen (No. 14) has multiday tours designed by women from Bhutan to Yellowstone National Park, while Explorer Chick (No. 15) has everything from day trips — like glassblowing in Baltimore and cave rappelling in St. Louis — to full itineraries in Machu Picchu and the Galápagos. One reader said her Everest Base Camp trip with AdventureWomen was filled with "like-minded women" who "bonded so well," while another said she felt it was a "safe tour group for women."

No matter which tour they chose, readers were most taken by the people they met along the way, as one said of Trek Travel (No. 13): "By the end of the trip, a group of strangers felt like longtime friends." Find out which other companies round out the list of the best tour operators below.

1. DuVine Cycling + Adventure Co.

A tour with DuVine goes far beyond just riding a bike — it's a way to really see the character of a destination. Case in point: even those who say they're not necessarily cycling fans have been converted. That's part of what helped the tour operator — which runs trips in Europe, the U.S., Latin America, and Africa — skyrocket from No. 14 last year to this year's top spot. Its "top-notch biking equipment" and "challenging but doable itineraries" didn't hurt either. One reader was especially taken by a guide picking figs off of a local tree in Puglia for an extra energy boost during a tough climb, as well as another guide singing to the group after dinner. As another reader put it simply: "They exceed your expectations."

Luxury European Train Tours & Luxury Train Vacations Europe

Luxury european train holiday destinations & places.

Our range of luxury train tours in Europe lets you explore this fascinating continent in comfort and style. The slow pace of luxury rail travel in Europe gives you time to see the countries you pass through rather than just the tourist sites, and we think there is nothing like European luxury train vacations as a way to travel in Europe. Most luxury European train holidays focus on East and Central Europe, including the Balkans. Spain and Portugal also have luxury trains in Europe. Below you can browse all the destinations visited by our luxury train trips in Europe. Under each destination, you can view the luxury European train tours that visit each destination.

Luxury train holidays in Europe visit the well-known sites but also pass through places that are less visited and can make short stops to visit these places that regular luxury rail tours to Europe might miss. As the luxury sleeper trains in Europe act as a hotel on wheels, there is no need to pack and unpack, and the European luxury train trips allow for short visits to many places. This gives the passenger a more rounded experience of the countries they pass through. Taking a luxury train through Europe is a rewarding and relaxing way to travel with like-minded people.

How Much Do Luxury Sleeper Trains In Europe Cost?

What Is The Most Luxurious Train In Europe?

It is often said that the most luxurious train in Europe must be the Orient Express which travels from London to Venice. However, this is a short train trip, and we recommend booking that as a means to get to Venice and start another European luxury train tour on a train like the Danube Express operated by Golden Eagle. These luxury train trips in Europe are much more extensive and complement the Orient Express. We mustn’t forget the luxury trains in Portugal and Spain known as the Al Andalus which we like for its old work decor – to some these could be the most luxurious trains in Europe.

What our clients say

Awesome – you are so good to work with – I wish I had more groups to Athens – I think we will do an advertising campaign just for Athens

I would like to let you know about the exceptional work your tour manager T. did with our group for our study abroad from … University. He was willing to help us with advice in any way and was very cordial and hospitable the entire trip. We have never had a guide so helpful. The students all commented on how positive their experience was partially because of T. He was a wonderful guide and made our study abroad very memorable.

Have you recovered yet from our 400 pax?!?!?! I cannot thank you enough for taking care of all of our customers!

While I know there would have been a few challenging pax the majority had a wonderful time!

First of all, we would like to thank you for the great service that we had during our tour in Istanbul. In light of this, we would like an estimate for a Marian Pilgrimage to be held in October 2020.

Kostas, I can’t thank you enough for the smooth transfer of my travelers and the wonderful tour with N. Everyone LOVED her! The professional manner of your people was so welcome and they couldn’t have been nicer to us. I will definitely call your company for my tours next year. So glad you’re a worldwide company!

Best of Central Europe

This tour had everything I was looking for! Great Eastern European food, great local beer, and a variety of things to do for any type of interest. The hikes were fantastic, and the transportation between stops was well organized. This tour offers a good balance of free time and time with the group, which allows you to come together at the end of the day over dinner to discuss your day.

Baltic Experience Tour

Baltic Experience

The Baltic Experience tour was a lot of fun! Our Tour Leader, Agata, was superb! The small tour size (we had six participants) meant we got to know each other well. The tour had a perfect mix of planned group activities and time to explore the sites on our own. The on-line tour description was accurate and extensive. Three cautions: Travel insurance is MANDATORY, somewhat expensive, and not included in the tour price. Many, like me, will commit to the tour not knowing this additional cost will be tacked on. Second, the tour sometimes involves significant walking (up to 30 minutes) from transportation facilities to hotels while carrying your own bags (two weeks of baggage), as well as walking tours that sometimes involve climbing as many as 800 steps. This is a tour for fairly young and fit participants. Finally, European hotels and home-stay facilities generally don't have air conditioning or screened windows, meaning sometimes in the summer you will have to choose between sleeping in hot, stuffy rooms or opening the windows for mosquitoes to enter. All that said, this was a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experience and I would highly recommend it for fit, adventurous people with positive attitudes who can tolerate occasional less-than-luxurious accommodations.

Zagreb to Athens: Adriatic & Ancient Capitals Tour

Zagreb to Athens: Adriatic & Ancient Capitals

Excellent tour with fantastic tour guide (Noddy). It's a tour aimed at younger (under 40) travellers, so the accommodation is mainly hostels and the pace is pretty fast but we still managed to spend a reasonable amount of time in each place. There was a good balance of history/culture and activities, and there is a lot of flexibility with the optional activities and free time to spend more or less time at the beach, museums, etc. Highly recommended as an introduction to the Balkans!

Rome to Berlin: Piazzas, Prague & the Past Tour

Rome to Berlin: Piazzas, Prague & the Past

Great diversity of countries and cities but WAY too fast paced. One night in Slovenia and Poland was ridiculous and with travel time some days we spent less than 15 hours in the city. The guide was a but inexperienced so we didn't have a good description of some of the cities. Great way to make friends and see cities! Would recommend going end of August or later as it was still very hot going through the cities!!

Best of Turkey- 10 Days Tour

Best of Turkey- 10 Days

What an amazing adventure! We had a wonderful time! The hotel in Istanbul, Celal Sultan, was great! From their superb customer service, to their great breakfasts, good location, they were outstanding. Our guide, Selin, was absolutely first class.smart, intelligent and kind, she helped our group become a family. Visiting such amazing sites, like Ephesus, Konya,Cappadocia, we experienced places, food and a culture that is beyond compare. I have sent many people to visit TourRadar and my Facebook page is full of wonderful photos. Saying goodbye to Selin, Ozgur and our great driver, Borak, we were sad to part. An amazing holiday with two great companies… TourRadar and Altinkum. 5 stars!

The Balkan Adventure Tour -12 days/11 nights from Skopje Tour

The Balkan Adventure Tour -12 days/11 nights from Skopje

We loved the hikes; only wished they could have been longer. We wish we didn't have to spend so much time driving, but we understand that there is no other way to see so many things in so few days. We would have liked to spend more time in Sarajevo. Don't schedule Nis for a Monday since the best sites are closed on Monday. Overall, it was a great introduction to the history and natural beauty of the Balkans, but be prepared for a lot of driving.

Balkan Experience – seven countries in two weeks - SMALL GROUP Tour

Balkan Experience – seven countries in two weeks - SMALL GROUP

I enjoyed this tour and would recommend it. Having a small group is a real positive as it allows the group to gel and share experiences. My group were all really good company and very knowledgeable travellers. Our guide was knowledgable and really added value, particularly on the history side which is a keen interest of mine. All the hotels were comfortable, and handily placed for exploring in your free time, with the exception of one. Ideally I would have liked a little more time in Tirana and Sofia potentially by reducing the time in Skopje. Looking forward to my next trip to the region!

Magic Carpet Tour Tour

  • Coach / Bus

Magic Carpet Tour

Airport pickup was very sketchy due to a 1 hour delayed flight. After arriving we waited for 2 hours outside before someone came to pick us up, and then was treated like it was our fault for not communicating the correct arrival time. How were we supposed to do that if we were in the air? What was the point of entering our flight information beforehand if no one was willing to check to see what time our flight was arriving when we were not there are the original time? Additionally, when we did arrive and saw that no one was there to pick us up I had to purchase a travel pass on my phone plan and called the Fez office. They were apparently closed and no one answered. Luckily we booked through TourRadar and were able to get ahold of them right away. The agent at TourRadar was very helpful and lined up transportation for us and made sure we felt comfortable. 2 hours later we were connected with Fez and en route to the hotel. From there the tour went really smoothly. We felt like we were taken care of and experienced a lot with an informative guide. We had a great experience in Turkey.

Reviews of Small Group tours to Europe

To be honest, part of what made the trip fantastic was our group of 12- could not have had a better group to travel with- which is clearly luck, but a piece of our group being so cohesive was Nejca, our guide. She was perfect! Available but not pushy. Laid back, but willing to assert herself to make our experience the best. She made each person in the group feel special and appreciated. Thank you, Nejca! The itinerary was quite good as well. Although there were places I could have stayed for a day longer, I think it’s important to not stay too long and feel like time is wasted on a certain place on the tour. Transportation was efficient and Nejca did a great job getting us to our destinations easily and without rushing. Accommodations were very good- with the exception of Prague. Although our apartment was nice, it was clear that the residents of Prague feel that their space is being taken over by tourists- which is clearly true. I would have preferred to have stayed in a hotel in Prague-honestly, I would have paid more for it. Other than that, cannot day enough good things about the trip! Thank you!!
