European Tours in Spring

Explore

There's something special about Europe in the spring, discover it for yourself on a European tour.

After the winter chill, spring brings milder weather to mainland Europe and landscapes are transformed into picturesque scenes. Lush meadows burst into life with vibrant colours as flowers bloom across the continent, snow-capped mountains glistening in the spring sun and waterfalls cascade down cliffsides - Europe is alive again and there's so much to see!

Nature lovers could witness the waterlilies bloom in Monet's garden on a tour in France or explore Madeira, Pearl of the Atlantic, and as close to a natural paradise as we've ever seen! If you like quaint towns and villages, you could watch the sunshine on the colourful houses that cling to the rugged coastline of Cinque Terre or see the whitewashed trulli of Alberabello - both are UNESCO World Heritage Site and truly unique Italian towns.

Perhaps history is more your thing? You could explore ancient sites in Greece, visit Granada's Alhambra or wander the almost-perfectly preserved streets of Pompeii. And these are just a few of our favourite experiences - our European tours really do have something for everybody.

Our tours include everything you need within the price you pay. Like expertly crafted itineraries (made by our expert explorers), insightful excursions with local guides, hand-picked accommodation in the best locations, direct flights from your local airport at no extra cost, transfers and the services of a wonderful Riviera Tour Manager who’ll look after you throughout. You can relax knowing that you’ll get unbeatable value for money.

Plus for 2025, we've added our Grand Tours. This incredible selection of a 9-13-day European adventure - for when one week away is just not enough.
