Signature Small Group Tours in Europe

Explore

Europe is full to the brim with opportunities for new experiences. Never is this truer than on a Signature tour with Riviera Travel.

Our Classic tours really highlight Europe’s best bits, but for when you want that something extra special, our Signature tours include carefully curated experiences to take your holiday up a notch. Think a cruise of the Borromean Islands on our Lake Maggiore, Orta and the Matterhorn tour, a flamenco show on our Classical Spain tour, or a traditional Sicilian lunch at a winery the sampling wines of Mount Etna on our Sicily tour.

If that wasn’t tantalising enough, Signature Tours also have an average group size 22 people, so you’ve got a more intimate experience as you explore and you can get to know your guide and fellow travellers better.
