What to Look for In a Europe Tour Company

With Travelstride's extensive resources, finding the perfect tour company to explore Europe's diverse landscapes, rich history, and vibrant cultures has never been easier. Here’s how to select the best Europe tour company using Travelstride’s features and resources.

How to Plan a Europe Trip

Whether you're dreaming of exploring ancient ruins, savoring world-renowned cuisine, or wandering through picturesque landscapes, perfect planning is essential for an enjoyable experience. Travelstride provides a comprehensive suite of tools and resources to assist you in planning your ultimate Europe trip.

Choosing the Best Europe Tour Companies

With Travelstride's extensive resources, finding the perfect tour company to explore Europe's diverse landscapes, rich history, and vibrant cultures has never been easier. Here’s how to select the best Europe tour company using Travelstride’s features and resources.

Expertise and Local Knowledge
Companies with extensive experience in Europe typically provide comprehensive tours led by knowledgeable local guides who are experts in European history, culture, and landmarks. These guides can offer valuable insights into iconic sites like Big Ben, the Acropolis, the Sagrada Família, and the Parthenon.

Travelstride’s reviews and detailed profiles help you find tour operators with strong local expertise and exceptional guides, ensuring a richer and more immersive experience.

Reputation and Reviews
When selecting a tour company, it’s crucial to consider reviews and past traveler experiences. Positive reviews often indicate high service levels, knowledgeable guides, and well-organized itineraries. 

Use Travelstride filters to find companies with consistently high ratings and strong testimonials to ensure a quality European experience. This will give you confidence in their ability to deliver a memorable trip.

Expert Itineraries and Flexibility
Look for companies that offer well-rounded itineraries covering major attractions in a country or region, such as the Colosseum and Vatican City, as well as hidden gems like the Appian Way and the charming Trastevere neighborhood, which showcase Europe’s unique charm. 

The best tour companies provide flexible itineraries, allowing you to customize your trip based on your interests and pace. Whether you prefer to spend more time exploring the romantic streets of Paris or enjoying a serene walk through the vineyards of Tuscany, a flexible itinerary can enhance your experience.

Quality of Accommodations and Transportation
Comfortable accommodations and reliable transportation are crucial for an enjoyable trip. Seek European tour companies that offer stays in comfortable hotels, charming boutique lodgings, or historic castles that blend comfort with local history. 

Ensure the transportation included in the packages is comfortable, whether private vehicles, coaches, or scenic train rides. Travelstride’s lodging scale and tour descriptions can help you understand the type of accommodations the tour company provides.

Health and Safety Protocols
Opt for tour companies with comprehensive safety measures, including emergency plans, secure transportation, and reliable accommodations. While Europe is generally safe, having first aid and emergency care available is crucial, especially in remote areas and during adventurous activities such as hiking in the Alps or exploring the countryside. 

Additionally, ensure that the tour company prioritizes safety in crowded tourist areas and during late-night outings, providing secure transportation and guidance to keep travelers safe at all times.

Value for Money
Look for companies that offer clear, transparent pricing without hidden costs. Tour packages typically include accommodations, meals, entrance fees, and transportation. Compare what’s included in the packages to ensure you get the best value. 

Some companies might provide added value with included excursions, such as a private guided tour of the Louvre, a traditional dinner in Florence, or a visit to a local brewery in Belgium. Use Travelstride filters to find companies offering tours within your price range and exclusive discounts to Travelstride users.

Personalized Services
Check if the company can accommodate special requests for room types, dietary restrictions, or mobility assistance. For example, travelers with specific dietary needs might appreciate meal plans catering to vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options during a local dining experience in Barcelona. 

Similarly, those who prefer a relaxed pace might benefit from alternative transportation options, like a private car to explore the scenic routes of the Amalfi Coast instead of a group bus. Personalized touches can significantly enhance the travel experience, and top tour companies are willing to go the extra mile to ensure your satisfaction.

Sustainability and Ethical Practices
Choose companies that prioritize eco-travel. This includes reducing carbon footprints, supporting local communities, paying fair wages, and promoting responsible tourism. Participating in a responsible travel program can add an extra layer of fulfillment to your travel experience, knowing that your journey supports local cultures and environments.

Planning a Europe Tour With Travelstride

Whether you're dreaming of exploring ancient ruins, savoring world-renowned cuisine, or wandering through picturesque landscapes, perfect planning is essential for an enjoyable experience. Travelstride provides a comprehensive suite of tools and resources to assist you in planning your ultimate Europe trip.

Assess Your Interests and Preferences
Start by identifying what you want to experience in Europe—exploring historic cities, touring iconic landmarks, or immersing yourself in the local culture. Knowing your interests will help you choose the countries and regions you should focus on and find expert tour operators that cater to your specific interests.

For instance, if you're captivated by historic architecture and vibrant city life, you might choose tours focusing on Western Europe. Using Travelstride filters, you can find tours that include visits to landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or the Colosseum and more. This approach ensures you get the most out of your preferred regions and interests.

Choose the Right Itinerary
Once you’ve shortlisted some tours, review their itineraries. Choose an itinerary that aligns with your interests and vacation duration. Travelstride provides detailed itineraries that cover major attractions and unique experiences.

Look for tours that include visits to iconic sites like the Alhambra, the Brandenburg Gate, or the Neuschwanstein Castle, as well as lesser-known treasures like the Cinque Terre in Italy or the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. An ideal itinerary might feature a blend of city exploration and natural beauty, offering a comprehensive European experience.

Budget and Value for Money
Consider your budget and the value offered by different tours. Travelstride groups tours according to their price range so you can explore European vacation packages according to your pocket. Pricing is transparent, with details on what’s included in each tour package. Compare these inclusions to ensure you get the best value for your money.

Consider the Group Size and Tour Type
Travelstride allows you to filter tours based on group size, ensuring you find the perfect fit. Smaller groups often provide a more intimate experience, while larger groups can be more cost-effective.

Additionally, consider whether you prefer a guided group tour, a private tour, or a self-guided adventure. For example, a guided group tour might visit major attractions across several cities, a private tour may offer exclusive access to sites like the Vatican Museums, and a self-guided adventure allows you to explore cities like Vienna and Prague at your own pace.

Choose Service Level
You can filter tour companies by service level—luxury, standard, or budget—to choose tours that suit your desired comfort level. While all tours offer comfortable accommodations and transportation, the specifics can vary.

Each tour on Travelstride has a lodging scale, indicating the kind of lodging you can expect, from luxurious hotels and historic castles to shared hostels and tourist camps. Similarly, transportation options can include private transfers, scenic train rides, or tour buses. 

For example, a luxury Europe tour might include stays at five-star hotels in Paris, Rome, and London, with private transfers and scenic train journeys connecting the destinations.

Check Reviews and Ratings
Use the filter for most reviewed tours to choose tours frequently rated by fellow travelers. Reading reviews can provide valuable insights into what you can expect from a tour.

For instance, a review might praise the tour guide on a tour of the Vatican Museums or the comfortable accommodations in a boutique hotel in Lisbon. Additionally, you might read about some unforgettable experiences, such as a private wine tasting in Tuscany or a gondola ride in Venice.

Assess Your Fitness Level
Physically demanding activities such as hiking in the Swiss Alps or exploring the rugged terrain of the Scottish Highlands can be taxing. It’s best to check the Physical Level scale of the tours or use appropriate filters to find tours that match your fitness level.

Understanding the physical requirements can help you prepare for the trip and manage expectations, particularly for travelers with health considerations like limited mobility.

On Travelstride, tours are categorized into five primary physical levels:

  • Very Easy: These tours include minimal changes in transportation, comfortable lodging, and a very relaxed pace, such as scenic train trips or leisurely city tours.
  • Easy: These tours may include walking tours with ample time for rest and activities focusing on hobbies and cultural experiences.
  • Moderate: These tours suit active travelers and involve walking, cycling, hiking, kayaking, and similar pursuits.
  • Strenuous: This level includes more demanding adventures that still offer some rest between activities, such as longer hikes or more intense cycling trips.
  • Extreme: These tours involve highly challenging activities such as intense hiking, mountain climbing, or other physically demanding adventures that require excellent fitness levels.
Get Travel Insurance
Obtain comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and other unforeseen events. Travelstride can assist you in finding appropriate insurance options to ensure peace of mind throughout your journey. Explore top travel insurance options and understand what to consider before purchasing a plan for your trip.

Prepare Necessary Documents
Ensure your passport is current and determine if a visa is required for your destination. Travelstride offers handy visa reference links to provide reliable information and streamline your preparation process. 

Make copies of important documents and keep digital copies for easy accessibility. Additionally, include any vaccination records or medical certificates needed for travel. Carry a list of medications, allergies, emergency contact information, and a letter from your doctor detailing any medical conditions.

Custom Guided Tours
Travelstride enables you to find and customize guided tours to meet your needs and preferences. Whether you require a private guide, special accommodations, or a tailor-made itinerary, custom-guided tours offer a more personalized travel experience.

  • Private Guides: Request a private guide who caters to your interests and pace.
  • Tailor-made Itineraries: Customize the itinerary to include your preferred activities and destinations.
  • Special Accommodations: Ensure all your specific needs, such as dietary restrictions or mobility aids, are met.
