Sightseeing Tours & Visits

No trip to Europe would be complete without checking the "must see" sights off your list.

Our extensive city sightseeing, visits and experiences are all included in your tour price and are detailed on every tour page. Sightseeing tours are included in every major city visited throughout your tour. Our sightseeing tours include walking, views of the most famous and interesting landmarks and entrances into major sites such as the Colosseum in Rome and the Acropolis in Athens. Most included sightseeing tours are guided by our resident local experts who bring not only the historical facts and information about a destination, but also add a local perspective and insight that only an 'insider' would know, truly bringing each destination to life!

We also include many bonus activities that, unlike many other companies who sell them as 'optional extras', are included in the cost of our tours. The bonus extras include an enchanting gondola ride through the canals of Venice; Edinburgh Castles' Military Tattoo - a stunning display of historic battles, military bands and marching drums; a Jaunting Car Ride through the lush Irish countryside and the world famous Accademia in Florence, home to Michelangelo's magnificent Statue of David.

Explore & Discover™

These are the hands-on, more in-depth experiences that make your trip unique. We take you beyond the expected locations to make your visit unforgettable. One of our most popular inclusions in recent years has been sharing meals with local families in their private homes. Other Explore & Discover™ events include a trip into the rural Scottish countryside for a farm visit and sheepdog demonstration and insightful lectures from local experts on the Normandy Landings.

See the Europe only the Locals Know

Travel quiet country roads to find hidden villages and undiscovered panoramas.

Every traveler wants to see the famous sights, but how do you find the secret places that only insiders know about? Grand European Tours answers that question by including hidden gems in many of our itineraries. Our local connections allow you to travel behind the scenes for an intimate look into Europe beyond the guidebooks.

A note on walking...

Walking is required on all of our itineraries. In some locations, you will be required to walk on uneven terrain and climb stairs without handrails. You should be in good health and be able to walk without assistance. In many areas motorcoaches are banned from entering city centers. In these instances you will be required to walk into and from the motorcoach and city centers for included sightseeing. If you have any concerns our Travel Specialists will be able to assist you.
