European coach tours from £249*

Soak up the sunshine on European coach tours to Spain where you can relax on the stunning beaches of the Costa del Sol, explore historic sites such as the La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona or take in the scenic beauty of Basque Country. The romantics among you may wish to join a touring holiday city break to Paris , known by many as the 'city of romance' where you can climb to the very top of the Eiffel Tower, follow the Da Vinci Trail or take a gentle stroll along the Champs-Élysées. Disneyland Paris is the perfect option should you wish to entertain the children during school holidays with our fabulous Kids Go Free offer on the Magical Disney Breakaway. Venture a little further and you can experience a relaxing cruise along the canals of Amsterdam with a great selection of city breaks. You could even choose to sail down the Danube, Rhine or explore The Fjords of Norway? Enjoy a sleigh ride pulled by reindeer or huskies in Scandinavia and don't miss the opportunity to see a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

We also have a great range of dedicated European tours for  single travellers if you're planning to travel solo.

On coach breaks to Europe you can experience luxury coach travel from your local departure point, search by country to find your nearest pickup points. Browse the various holiday types available including inclusive packages, events and tours.  

Europe is a magnificent continent that's so versatile in what it offers visitors to see and do. Here is just a fraction of the types of places you can visit during your holidays here:

Italy:  A blend of good food, good wine and stunning sights - that's what Italy is famous for and is a must for anyone visiting Europe. There's possibly nowhere else on earth where you will find gelato, pizzas and pastas as delectable as what is available on holidays in Italy. Take a break from eating and visit the sinking city of Venice with its criss-crossing waterways or the ancient city of  Rome  with its world famous Colosseum and Pantheon or perhaps the famous leaning tower of Pisa.

Germany:  Located in the heart of Europe, Germany has become a popular tourist destination for people visiting from across the world. The country combines stunning scenery with a vibrant culture and cities, to create an exciting destination for everyone to visit.  The Black Forest  and Christmas Markets are a particular highlight for people visiting this fascinating country.

France:  Having delighted tourists for decades, France has become a popular destination for anyone holidaying in Europe. With its quaint coffee-shops, patisseries and bistros, France has truly become one of the culinary centres of Europe.  Paris  is one of the many cities within France that features high on every tourists 'to visit list' with famous sights such as the Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. The South Coast of France is a hotspot for beach holidays in places such as  St Tropez .

Belgium:  A destination steeped in history, fantastic food and culture, Belgium has become a fascinating place to visit for anyone who happens to find themselves in Europe. With strong connections to the conflicts of World War 1,  Ypres  has thousands of visitors each year who come to see the  Menin Gate . Or perhaps pay a visit to Brussels, Belgium's capital city, steeped in history and full to the brim of cosmopolitan bars and restaurants to relax in.

To help you have an enjoyable holiday in Europe, take a look at these useful tips and advice provided by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO):

Health and Travel Insurance When travelling to countries within Europe you should always be sure you have applied for a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before leaving. Should you fall ill whilst on holiday, this card will entitle you to basic medical treatment as long as you present it whilst staying in countries within the European Economic Area. However, the card will only entitle you to state provided medical treatment. It is not valid for non-urgent or on-going treatment. Therefore, it is recommended that you always check you have the correct travel insurance which will cover the cost of treatment and repatriation as well should you need it. It is advisable that you have access to additional funds in case you have to pay for treatment whilst you're away.

Crime As with every country you visit it is important that you always remain alert to the risks of crime. In some European destinations, tourists are seen as easy targets, so where possible keep your valuables in the hotel safe and avoid carrying large quantities of cash.

Always buy your own drinks and never leave them unattended. Alcoholic beverages in foreign countries tend to be much stronger than in the UK, so it is wise to know your limits.

It would also be advisable to check the individual country pages before you leave to get a better idea of crime levels for where you are visiting.

Local Laws and Customs Countries across Europe will have different laws and customs so it is best to check the individual country before you travel.

Entry Requirements When British Citizens are travelling to most European Countries, no visa is needed for entry, however when entering Turkey you will need one. Therefore, it is best to check each individual country before travelling.

Passport validity also varies and some countries require a period of validity beyond the date you leave so it is best to check if this applies to the country you are visiting.

Any other nationality looking to visit countries in Europe must contact their local embassy to check visa and passport requirements. 

Europe is the second smallest continent in the world and consists of just 4 million square miles.

What people love about Europe Tours from London

Ashleigh was absolutely amazing as a tour guide, very knowledgeable, fun and overall great personality

Well organised with plenty of thought put into the briefing of each location!

We wanted to leave this review for Adam, our tour guide and Florin, our bus driver. They were absolutely amazing on our tour. We felt very fortunate to have them right from the moment the tour started. Adam is kind, knowledgeable and made us feel safe every step of the way. This was our very first overseas trip and we came from Australia. For us, it was a big moment in our life. We felt very grateful to be in the hands of Adam and Florin. Adam ran the tour with expertise and fun. He had everything organised, our itinerary for each day was set out and everything was explained very well. We have met life long friends, saw so many amazing places, ate some delicious food and overall had the most wonderful time. Loved every part of our experience. Thank you so much Adam.

Europe Escorted Tours & Guided Holidays

Escorted tours & guided holidays to europe.

Scenic beauty, a fascinating artistic heritage and an epic history, all of this and more makes Europe a dream destination for curious travellers wanting a Europe guided tour. Lovely landscapes offer a diverse feast for the eyes, whether you head south to Spain and Italy ,  or east to Croatia and Romania or explore some of it's most beautiful islands such as Sicily, Sardinia or Malta . Alternatively, stay closer to home as you explore the French Riviera .

There are so many options and variety on our European tours. Discover the rich historical sites of Turkey - such as the legendary city of Troy or head to warmer climes to find beaches in all shapes and sizes, from dramatic and rugged to golden and idyllic. Then there’s Italy’s Tuscan hills , which are dotted with Cypress trees, while pastel-shaded houses cling precariously to the glorious  coastline of Amalfi . And if you want to reach really dizzy heights, a holiday to the Swiss Alps offers jaw-dropping views in every direction. There’s a long list of man-made wonders to consider when choosing your European tour, too. Italy is crammed with treasures from top to toe, with Rome’s Colosseum, the  Leaning Tower of Pisa and Florence’s Duomo for starters. The romance of France , and the magnificent Spain’s Alhambra Palace  will leave you utterly spellbound. And you’ll wonder how on earth Greece’s Meteora Monasteries were built on towering rocks in the 11th century. The chance to step back in time is never too far away wherever your travels take you, with well-preserved historic treasures around every corner. Delve into the seemingly endless alleyways in Malta , where the Knights of St John would have roamed in the 14th century. Or stroll through Italy’s myriad medieval villages, which stand to this day untouched by time. Ponder life back in 79AD when the well-to-do  city of Pompeii was smothered in hot ash by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. And you can walk in gladiators’ footsteps in Roman amphitheatres scattered right across the land. Sightseeing aside, a wonderful way to experience your chosen European holiday hot spot is through its cuisine. A cheese fondue, Kalamata olives, nutty olive oil, sun-ripened tomatoes, fish freshly plucked from the sea, earthy truffles – each country, and each region boasts its own specialities. And nothing quite beats breaking bread with the locals, or drinking a glass of wine in the very vineyard where the grapes were grown.

What our customers say...

Another great travel sphere holiday..

My wife and I spend a week at Hotel Aequa in Vico Equense in May 2024. Firstly a big shout out to our superb holiday director Dr Karina, she worked extremely hard and looked after us all superbly. She has a world class knowledge about archeology and a very detailed understanding of the area which is exactly what we needed. She seemed to know everyone and everyone seemed to know Karina! A special mention to our amazing hotel staff who did an amazing job. The manager, together with Karina and my wife arranged for a cake to celebrate my 55th birthday and even a bottle of champagne, which was left in our room. This is my fifth holiday with Travel Sphere and we can’t recommend them highly enough.

Travelsphere ~ 10 out of 10

I would certainly recommend a Travelsphere holiday to anyone who was considering a coach tour. They are very well organised and the tours are well thought out, the attention to detail is second to none. Our Tour Manager, Aideen was fabulous, she helped to make our holiday really special. She has a genuine passion for what she does and really cares about her clients having the best possible holiday.

Excursions well organised with experienced guide.Roses is a delightful resort, so relaxed and a relief from the hurly burly of other resorts further south.Be prepared for 1 to 2 hour coach journeys to reach the little trains, but well worth it.Travelsphere have got this one well organised and value for money. Appreciated free wines by the bottle and not the glass with evening meal!

With a beguiling blend of nature and history, you're guaranteed an unforgettable adventure in Bulgaria. The keen explorer simply cannot resist being helplessly drawn to the freshening sea breeze and miles of turquoise water characteristic of Bulgaria’s coast, and many cities feel the benefits of this refreshing ambiance.

An escorted tour to Croatia offers the opportunity to discover a country that has, in recent times, become one of the most popular destinations in Europe thanks to a rewarding mix of sublime scenery and towns and cities that are positively brimming with history.

A country where medieval architecture meets the modernity of today’s world, Germany is where fairy-tales come to life. Here treats and temptations are abounding in the form of soul-stirring scenery, spirit-lifting culture and much more.

The crowning jewel of Central Europe, Hungary is a truly awe-inspiring place to visit; studded with a mixture of architectural landmarks and grand neoclassical buildings, this is the place to be when it comes to enjoying a unique, enriching travel experience. There’s a prominent Turkish and Roman influence in the country’s culture – evident in the popularity of mineral spas – which only serves to make holidaymakers fall in love with it even more.

Defined by its dramatic landscape with volcanoes, geysers, hot springs and lava fields, Iceland is one of the world's most spectacular places. If you're a nature lover, there's no better place on the planet to admire breathtaking views and dramatic backdrops.

Europe Touring Holidays Frequently Asked Questions

Europe has an array of exciting destinations from Italy to Turkey to Croatia and many more, here's some good tours for you to choose from.

Italy has so much to offer from the colosseum to Pompeii to Venice – all locations you definitely won’t want to miss! To cover all these you will need to take the Grand Tour of Italy . 15 days exploring the country from Venice to Catania, Rome, Sorrento and Sicily on route!

Turkey tantalises the senses on our Treasures of Turkey holiday . You’ll go from the hustle and bustle of the grand bazaar to watching the sunset with wine in hand at Love valley, enjoying archaeological sites, mosques and hot springs along the way.

If the medieval era is your thing then our Discover Romania and enchanting Transylvania tour will be right up your street. You’ll visit Sibiu, with its 14th century Lutheran Cathedral. Go to Sighisoara, the birthplace of one of Transylvania's most notorious sons, Vlad the Impaler – the real-life inspiration for Dracula and of course you’ll stop off at Bran’s Castle itself! (better known as Dracula’s Castle) and visit a 300-year-old monastery – still home to several monks in Bucharest.

If island hopping is more your dream holiday then our Croatian Island hopping tour may float your boat. Travelling from Split to Solta and back again, on our luxury ship solely for our group! You’ll enjoy kayaking around the walls of Dubrovnik, swimming in secluded coves, bobbing around in an inflatable, and discovering interesting facts like ancient methods of air-conditioning, all accompanied by laughter and cheerful chatter of your shipmates!

There is so much to see and enjoy across Europe from Germany’s architecture, to Frances artistic attractions and an array of historical sites in Italy.

Key attractions not to be missed on your tours are:

Italy – The Colosseum, built in AD 70-80 using travertine, limestone and volcanic rock, seating over 80,000 spectators, it was most famously known for its gladiator fights but it was also the arena for re-enactments of famous battles and executions. More remarkably, it was also the set for simulated sea battles! The arena would be filled with water so vessels could float in during the shows and drained rapidly afterwards. Equally as interesting is the engineering behind this theatre. It had a retractable awning to protect its spectators from the bad weather! Also hidden beneath the colosseum was a warren of tunnels and cells which held the gladiators and animals captive before they were sent to fight.

Another site not to miss in Italy is Pompeii – a 440,000 square meter town that was tragically engulfed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79. Approximately 10 percent of the population died and the city was buried under lava and volcanic ash. The lava preserved the town which means you can walk the streets and see the well-preserved buildings such as the Lupanare (brothel), and thermopolium (the Roman equivalent of fast food).

France - The famous Eiffel Tower, at the centre of Champ de Mars in Paris, built to be the entrance to the World's Fair in1889.This world famous structure has not always been admired though, in fact Engineer Gustave Eiffel was greatly criticised by locals, calling it a monstrosity! Never did he or they imagine quite how successful and important a structure it would be today, with its 81 floors of exhibits, viewing decks, cafes and gift shops.

Venice – The floating city. A romantic location with over 118 islands connected by the canals that run through Venice. Grab a gondola and sit back, relax and take in the scenery.

Romania – Dracula’s Castle - Bram Stoker’s 1897 Gothic, horror novel Dracula may be imaginary, but the castle isn’t. It was the real life setting of the sinister novel and is located just outside of Brasov in Romania. Officially known as Bran Castle it includes all the weapons and armour that is mentioned in Bram’s book. As for the blood-sucker himself, Bram used Vlad the Impaler as his muse. A ruler who was notorious for brutal torture and demise of in excess of 10,000 people during his reign.

Turkey – Turkey has an array of wonders to offer from Mosques to palaces, to hot springs and the famous bazaars

There is so much delicious food to be tasted across Europe and such a variety from one country to another. From delightful seafood in Portugal , Greece and Croatia to perfect pasta dishes in Italy and world-famous desserts in Austria.

While in Romania you can try stuffed cabbage rolls and in Turkey , anyone with a sweet tooth must try the ancient, traditional pastry dessert of baklava.

There really is something for everyone.
