We specialise in organising holidays for groups (as well as individuals). We offer fully-escorted group holidays to a variety of exciting destinations, including Italy and Germany. 

There are numerous benefits to these types of holiday:

You will be fully escorted by one of our friendly, professional Tour Managers. Thanks to their organisational and social skills they ensure that all our arrangements run smoothly, allowing you to relax, meet new friends and have a fabulous holiday.

When we visit an attraction as a group we benefit from the expertise of a local guide, who will often add a whole new dimension to the experience.

Every excursion, city tour and sightseeing visit we describe in the itinerary is included in the price. We make it clear on each holiday itinerary exactly what is included, so you can budget accordingly, safe in the knowledge there are no hidden extras.

You can choose from our pre-planned itineraries or we can tailor make your trip for you. 

If there are 6 or more of you in your party you can benefit from savings on your holiday costs.

What’s more you will be able to enjoy excursions to some fascinating and unique destinations and experiences, sometimes at a reduced cost.

We can cater for groups of any size so if you are a local association or organisation we can take the hassle out of organising a trip for you and your friends. You will also benefit from valuable savings, including free places*, which will make your planned trip more affordable. 

We also include the services of a professional tour manager * on some tours

Medieval Bruges is a perfectly preserved gem as befits one of northern Europe’s richest cities of the Middle Ages. The ‘Venice of the North’ is criss-crossed with attractive waterways and boasts some of the finest examples of Flemish and European art, including the richly detailed canvasses by Van Eyck and Memling and Michelangelo’s beautiful Madonna with Child. The heart of the city is dominated by the Markt Square and imposing Basilica of the Holy Blood, whilst step-gabled Merchants’ buildings line the pretty canals. All around cobbled streets, guild houses, palaces and stone bridges lead to tempting shops, historic cafés and indulgent restaurants.
