At Riviera Travel, we do the hard work to deliver adventures effortlessly and our magnificent European escorted tours collection spans the breadth of this diverse continent.

Europe is such a beautifully diverse continent. It is the birthplace of some of history’s best-known and loved writers, composers, philosophers and artists; its architecture is a rich tapestry that tells of the ebbs and flows of power of empires over the centuries; that's before you even consider the culinary scenes, which vary wildly depending on which region you visit, let alone which country!  

Whether you’re a history buff or fervent foodie, Europe has something to offer. You can be sipping pale pink rosé in a vineyard in Provence one second, discovering the natural beauty of the Italian Lakes on a walking holiday the next, then hopping over to Greece to learn about ancient history, or Germany for a city break to delve into more recent history. 

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 Classic Tours or Signature Tours, which have smaller groups of up to 25 people with additional Signature experiences.
