Why choose a EuroVista tour

Small Groups = Special Benefits

Our tours operate with an average of 10-14 guests and a maximum of 18. Small group travel ensures a higher degree of comfort, security and personal attention. Guests will enjoy benefits not available to mainstream tour groups, such as confirmed reservations, private tours and special activities: visit the Scrovegni Chapel in Padova to marvel at the Giotto frescoes, view the matchless art at the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia in Florence and use our reserved tickets to venture up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Our small to mid-size vehicles allow us to venture into areas not accessible to large tour coaches, such as in the centre of Rome and many small villages with their ancient and narrow streets. Enjoy too the relaxing ambience and personal service of some of our 'limited occupancy' boutique hotels and manor houses.

Quality Accommodation - Delightfully Different

We choose only premium hotels located in the historic centres of Europe's great cities including some boutique hotels, manor houses and charming family-run establishments located in quiet countryside or small town settings. (Click here for a preview of some of our special lodgings).

Easy Paced and Meticulously Crafted Itineraries

Itineraries are carefully crafted to provide a more leisurely pace including shorter travelling days, mostly 2 to 4-night stays and daily excursions. Each day's itinerary will include as many 'must-see, must-do' sights and activities as possible whilst limiting the time guests have to spend on the road. Our guests have adequate leisure time for private sightseeing, shopping, relaxing or pursuing their own interests.

Sightseeing and Entrance Fees Included

No expensive 'Optionals'. Sightseeing, entrance fees and excursions are all included in the price of your tour. EuroVista has no "optional sightseeing excursions" attached to its itineraries - unlike most mainstream tour operators who can charge hundreds of Euros extra for sightseeing and excursions once you reach Europe. If something is worth doing, seeing or visiting we've included it. In fact, except for lunches and a few dinners there is nothing extra to pay.

Wonderful Cuisine and Memorable Dining

Savour wonderful food and local delicacies at our included special lunches and dinners. Enjoy a meal with a local family on the Amalfi Coast, delight in the taste of regional cuisine at a restaurant on Burano Island and join a master chef for a private cooking demonstration and gastronomic dinner at our manor house in Normandy.

We endeavour to make every meal an occasion whether it's in a traditional restaurant in our hotel or at a favourite local restaurant. Each day begins with a full buffet breakfast, and in the evening you choose from a variety of succulent dishes offered on a-la-carte menus, table d'hôte menus and even the occasional smorgasbord.

No Tipping on Tour

There's no need to tip the waiters or guides on tour - "We've taken care of it" The payment of gratuities or 'tips' is an accepted part of everyday working life in European countries. EuroVista has removed the potential embarrassment by covering all gratuities whilst on tour for Tour Director, driver, local guides, and hotel and restaurant staff.

Private Transfers - Anywhere, Anytime

We'll be waiting to transfer you in a private vehicle to and from the airport and railway station regardless of the time. If you plan to arrive a few days early or leave a few days later, and choose to stay at our EuroVista hotel, we'll still take care of your transfer requirements.

Single Room Supplement

Single rooms in European hotels are very often smaller than you'll be used to. That's why we endeavour to provide 'Double Rooms for Single Use' for single guests who pay the single supplement.

U.N.E.S.C.O World Heritage Sites

Identified by UNESCO as places of unique and outstanding value to mankind, we visit as many of these locations as possible. We have listed on the individual tour pages all the UNESCO sites we'll visit on the tour.

The Small Group Special Touches

At EuroVista we provide bottled water on the coach, complimentary tea and coffee with dinner and personal audio head-sets at busy historical sites so that you can hear the commentary of your "English speaking" local guides.
