What to expect in a festivals & events package

  • A woman dressed in traditional dress and makeup celebrating the Day of the Dead festival in Mexico

    Cultural celebrations

    For centuries, cultures worldwide have held festivals and events to express gratitude, give thanks and celebrate new beginnings. With traditional fashions filling the streets and rejoicing locals around every corner, there’s no better way to experience a new way of life.

  • A line of rainbow flags waving proudly at a Pride parade in New York, USA.

    Share your passion

    Whether you’re head-banging at your favorite concert, making your multi-colored mark at a Pride parade, or gaining a deeper understanding of your faith, centering your itinerary around an event can create deep connections and unify like-minded people.

  • A group of festival goers dancing underneath confetti at an electronic music concert

    Just have fun

    Life can get notoriously busy, and allowing ourselves to have some dedicated time out is hard. A vacation package featuring a festival or event can be the perfect way to switch off and have fun. Let your hair down, dance like nobody’s watching, or show off your moves at a carnival.

  • An elderly couple cuddling up to each other whilst celebrating with sparklers, or fireworks together

    Feel like a kid again

    We’re not just talking about the seniors here. Ever since we were kids, we’ve had big dreams, and while we can’t turn you into an astronaut, you can dress up like one! Festivals allow us to express ourselves and bring our childhood fantasies to life, so what are you waiting for?

Seasonal Holiday Packages

Are you the kind of person that puts your Christmas tree up in November, welcomes in the New Year with celebrations, carves out pumpkins for your doorstep, or hides chocolate for an Easter egg hunt?

  • Montana on her Holi Festival adventure

    "I've always wanted to experience the magic that is Holi - thank you for an adventure I will never forget! The tour was packed with culture, breathtaking sights, and friendly faces. The tour guides ensured the days were packed with fun, whilst teaching us the history of India. The highlight of this trip was the Holi Festival - hosted by a family in Jaipur who welcomed us with open hearts to experience playing Holi together. The 24/7 available support by our guide was unprecedented as two girls travelling alone. I have never felt so safe on an overseas trip. I highly recommend this experience of a lifetime, you will not regret it!"

  • Carl on his Anzac Day adventure

    "As an Aussie living in London, it's kind of a right of passage to go to Turkey for the dawn service. Not only did the experience live up to expectations, but the group and the way the tour was run was amazing! It's not the cheapest but definitely the best quality and totally worth it. It was a very special tour and such a unique experience."

  • Kylie on her Christmas markets adventure

    "This was a great tour! Insight is so organized and Brianna, our tour director was very personable, helpful and knowledgeable. I took this trip by myself, which can be a bit scary but was just fine in this case because Insight and Brianna had all the prep down. I learnt a ton about Germany and its history, had fun shopping at what felt like a million Christmas markets and was impressed by both the quality of hotels, and the space and quality of driving on the bus. Highly recommend!"

  • Robyn on her Oktoberfest adventure

    "Two words, absolutely fantastic! The party, fun, food, music, beer and sangria all were nonstop!  I didn’t think it was possible to have so much fun! Good campsite, late-night food options, easy transport to tents with guides and awesome staff from all around the world. Would recommend it to anyone looking to have an authentic Oktoberfest experience!"

Your Festival & Events questions, answered

  • How do I know a Festival & Events adventure is right for me?

    Perhaps you have a bucket list event, are looking for the perfect way to let your hair down, or want to celebrate with friends? With your accommodation, meals, and supplies sorted, an organized adventure takes the stress away so that you can fully enjoy the experience.

  • How far in advance do I need to book?

    Like any adventure, the further in advance you book, the better chance you have of securing your spot, and a festive tour is no different. Events often have limited tickets available, so if you have your eye on a specific one, it’s best to book as early as possible.

  • Will my adventure be full of young people?

    People of all ages love to celebrate! You should expect to meet different people from all over the world. Some festive adventures might see more young people attending—such as the Sziget Festival—compared to ANZAC Day events and the Royal Ascot, where the average age is more varied. Ultimately, you should choose an event that seems right for you.

  • Is admission included?

    A specialized Festival & Events adventure has an itinerary centered around the festival or event, so the ticket is sometimes included in the total cost. However, some festivals offer different perks and levels of access depending on your ticket, so it’s common for your admission to be excluded so that you can choose how you celebrate. When in doubt, reach out to our Customer Support team.

  • Can I combine Adventure styles?

    Yes absolutely! An adventure is what you make of it, so why not add on wine tasting in France, an island-hopping escape to the Greek Islands, or a wild safari ride in Kenya?

  • How do I book a Festival & Events adventure on TourRadar?

    Find your next Festival & Events trip by searching through our adventures until you find one that stands out. Simply select your dates and fill out your details to secure your trip. If you have any questions, our Customer Support team is standing by 24/7.
