What people love about Luxury Tours in Europe
Overall the trip was very good. It gave us a thorough insight into the region, the history and culture of the various countries visited. Since we were the only 2 people booked, we benefited from a private tour with the guide who was knowledgeable, flexible and friendly, and effectively handled all the driving and arrangements (which was great for us not to have to worry about). We enjoyed everywhere we visited however the highlights were definitely Dubrovnik, Split, Kotor (where I wish we had stayed overnight and had more time to climb the fortress), Ohrid, and Zagreb. Some of the hotels were good, but some were not what I would expect from 4* and should be reviewed. (esp Belgrade). Also the location of the hotels was mostly not ideal to the city centers so it was not convenient to walk back and forth eg after a tour and before going for dinner (esp Zagreb, Ohrid, Dubrovnik, Split….). Besides more time in Kotor, I might have liked to add Slovenia to the trip and reduced time in Belgrade and Sarajevo although I realize that would have added to the intensity of the driving. Overall a very insightful and enjoyable trip.

What our customers ask about Luxury Tours to Europe
What type of accommodations can I expect on a luxury European tour?
Luxury European tours provide 4-5 star hotels set in prime locations that combine comfort with exceptional service. You'll find properties like the Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet and the Rosa Grand hotel in Milan. River cruises offer riverview staterooms furnished with Savoir® Beds of England along with Egyptian cotton sheets and European duvets. A TourRadar traveler shared about their Uniworld experience: "The accommodations were absolutely first-class, from the marble bathrooms to the French balconies with panoramic views of Europe's most iconic cities."
How much should I budget for a luxury tour in Europe?
Expect to spend between 4,000 USD and 23,000 USD per person based on your chosen itinerary and duration. A 14-day luxury river cruise from Paris to Istanbul costs around 22,500 USD per person while a 12-day land tour through Italy and Switzerland runs about 6,700 USD. These prices cover premium accommodations most meals exclusive experiences and expert guides. According to a TourRadar traveler on their Uniworld cruise: "While expensive, the all-inclusive nature and level of luxury made it worth every penny."
What kind of dining experiences are included on luxury European tours?
The dining program ranges from Michelin-starred restaurants to local gems and private venues. Guests might enjoy sunset drinks at Venice's Café Florian dine at a family-owned vineyard in Tuscany or taste special pastries at a traditional Viennese coffeehouse. One TourRadar traveler shared about their Insight Vacations tour: "The included dinners were exceptional - from a private dinner at a Tuscan villa to a gourmet feast at a historic Viennese palace. Each meal was carefully curated to showcase the best of local cuisine."
What is the best time of year to take a luxury tour in Europe?
May through September offers the most reliable weather especially in Mediterranean and Alpine regions. Each season brings unique experiences such as December's Christmas markets in Vienna and Budapest or September's grape harvest in French wine regions. A guest from an Insight Vacations tour noted: "We chose May for our luxury tour and found it perfect - warm enough for outdoor dining in Venice and Rome but not too crowded to enjoy exclusive evening access to museums."
What unique experiences are included in luxury European tours?
These tours open doors to experiences beyond regular tourist access. Guests enjoy private after-hours visits to the Vatican Museums exclusive tastings at noble estates and cultural encounters not available to the public. Uniworld's cruises for example arrange private evening lighting ceremonies at St. Mark's Basilica and special access to Rhineland castles. As one TourRadar traveler described: "The exclusive experiences were incredible - from a private concert at Rouen Cathedral to making traditional strudel with a local family in Vienna. These moments really set luxury travel apart."
How much free time is typically included in luxury European tours?
Tours generally provide 2-3 free afternoons weekly balancing guided activities with personal exploration time. A typical day might start with a guided tour of Venice's St. Mark's Basilica followed by free time to explore or a morning at the Louvre with afternoon shopping on the Champs-Élysées. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The schedule was perfect - enough organized activities to feel we weren't missing anything but plenty of free time to explore on our own or simply relax at our luxury hotel."
