No better way to experience the sights, tastes and stunning natural beauty of Europe than a guided tour. Central Europe is a photographers paradise. 



What our members have to say;


If you've ever dreamed of visiting the natural beauties of central Europe then this is the tour for you.  A 29-day fully-escorted tour includes the UAE, Switzerland, Southern Germany, Austria and culminates with a seven day cruise down the Danube. There is an option of cycling down the side or relaxing on board from Passau in Germany to Budapest.

After a stopover in the United Arab Emirates the European tour begins in the medieval village of Rheinfelden in Switzerland. Walk down the cobbled streets, cross the Rhein and visit the Black Forest. Try the traditional black forest cake in Staufen and stroll across the famous Chapel Bridge in Luzern.

Experience the revolving cable car at Mt.Titlis and view the giant peaks carved out of rock or ice and the unique panorama of the Alps. Feast in the fairytale Grand Hotel Giessbach on the shores of Lake Brienz.

See some of the most memorable scenery in the world - truly picture postcard. Explore villages surrounded by steep mountains, cliffs and crags, alpine forests and waterfalls. Venture to the Schilthorn for a panoramic view of the Jungfrau
Massif.


Tease the taste buds with some Gruyere cheese and walk through eight centuries of architecture in the nearby castle. Run rampant in Murten and
cycle from Steim am Rhien to Konstanz of just relax on the riverside promonade with some Swiss rosti. Hike around the winter sports village of Seefeld in the Tirol and enter the world of opulence at Linderhof Castle - one of King Ludwig 11 castles.

More sobering is the Dachau concentration camp, near Munich. Lunch at The Eagle's Nest offering spectacular views and then rest in Salzburg's Old Town.

Discover the birthplace of the famous composer Wolfgang Mozart and the setting of the musical and film The Sound of Music. Cruise from Passau to Budapest to Vienna along the Danube - you can experience pure nature, wild and untamed whilst you cycle beside this famous waterway.

The appeal of central Europe is the breath-taking views and scenery, gourmet food and fresh delights at every twist and turn.
