Ultimate European + Greek Island Hopping

Duration:

This is THE Ultimate European experience. Covering 16 countries in 45 days, this is definitely one for the intrepid traveler. Travel through the major European destinations in the first half of the tour before spending some quality time on a Greek island with a cocktail. The second half of the tour is all about unchartered territory...Gallipoli, Troy, Istanbul, Belgrade and Budapest before making your way back to London via Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Your hardest decision will be finding somewhere for your next holiday that you haven't been!

21 Days Europe Camping

Duration:

As a rule, camping is a relaxing holiday but the 21 day Europe Camping tour takes relaxation to another level. All the big cities are covered with two night stops, giving you time to get there and have a free day in the actual city rather than just drive past it. There really is something for everyone on this tour; swim in the Mediterranean on the French Riviera, visit the medieval town of Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic on your way to Prague and drink beer with Germans in Munich, home of the Oktoberfest.
