The London-to-Rome route works especially well for people traveling solo - our guests often mention how quickly they connect with others in the small groups. There's enough structure to feel secure but plenty of free time to explore independently. The included dinners and optional activities make it easy to meet people, and our guides are great at looking after solo travelers' practical needs like watching bags during lunch breaks and suggesting safe evening spots.
Couples really click with our Mediterranean routes. One nice option weaves through Barcelona and Nice before reaching Rome, giving you both seaside views and cultural depth. Another starts in Paris, crosses through Switzerland and Venice, then ends in Rome - it's perfect if you want city energy and mountain scenery. These tours give couples time together to wander through places like Rome's Trastevere or take evening walks on Nice's Promenade des Anglais, while mixing in guided experiences at key sites.
The younger crowd loves our cross-border tours that keep moving but include social time too. Our Barcelona-to-Rome adventure includes actual hiking in the Pyrenees plus time to explore cities after dark. The London-Paris-Rome route is another favorite; you'll see the major sites but have evenings free to find local spots and hang out with new friends. These work well because they cover the must-sees while leaving room to discover your own experiences.
Our senior travelers appreciate the well-paced tours connecting France and Italy. One route starts in Rome and heads north through Tuscany and the French Riviera - you'll take boat rides to Saint-Tropez and walk through medieval villages with local guides. Another popular choice links Rome, Florence, Venice and also Paris at a comfortable tempo. The hotels are central, transfers are included and you can choose between guided tours or exploring on your own.

A third option starts in Amsterdam and moves at an easy pace, with fun stops to watch Swiss chocolatiers at work and see Venetian glass artists in action. These tours mix guided activities with enough downtime so families can explore together without feeling rushed.
