EuroVista's small group touring is the new way to see Europe. Firstly, the overriding commitment is to their guests. All efforts and planning are aimed at ensuring guests have a very enjoyable and memorable adventure. A holiday of a lifetime that leaves you feeling fulfilled - not exhausted. The policy is to limit guest numbers to a maximum of 18, thereby ensuring a higher level of comfort and personal attention. The appeal lies in the meticulously crafted itineraries, exceptional quality accommodation, superb cuisine, relaxed pace, a no tipping policy, inclusive sightseeing and private transfers. And, equally important for discerning travellers, each tour is designed to provide the perfect balance between organised sightseeing and the freedom to pursue your own interests. Sightseeing and Entrance Fees Included EuroVista has no "optional sightseeing excursions" attached to its itineraries - Unlike most mainstream tour operators who can charge thousands of dollars extra for sightseeing and excursions. If something is worth doing, seeing or visiting EuroVista includes it in the original price of your tour. Memorable Dining EuroVista includes in its itineraries many special dining and entertainment occasions that would otherwise be considered optional extras, such as enjoying a meal with a local family on the Amalfi Coast and Turkish hinterland, savouring regional cuisine at a restaurant on Burano Island and joining a master chef for a private cooking demonstration and gastronomic dinner at our manor house in Normandy. Quality Accommodation - Delightfully Different We've carefully chosen unique and stylish hotels located in the true historic centres of Europe's great cities and many charming family-run establishments located in quiet countryside or small town settings. And most days are civilised 9.30 starts! Eurovista covers Italy, Spain, France, Eastern Europe, Croatia & Slovenia, Turkey and Oberammergau...
