There are basically two ways to travel; rushing
around seeing as many places as possible
with a busy and set travel programme, or
travelling at a slower pace and experience to
the full the places of your interest.
Discovering Europe creates individual tour
packages through Europe allowing you to
experience Europe at your own leisurely pace.
No mass group travelling but independent
travelling which gives a more in-depth
experience and free time to get loose in
Europe´s fantastic cities, explore the culture
and meet the locals. Spending more than 2
nights at one location takes away the burden 
of moving your luggage every single day and
gives you great options for activities and
countryside day excursions of your preference.
Private activities with genuine local people  
offer an unique and personal way to discover
hidden gems and local life. What better way   
is there than to learn from a local himself. Let  
a knowledgeable local show you the highlights
and take you off the beaten track!

private houseboat in the city’s canals? With

information, we can help you organize
accommodation ranging from traditional and
authentic to the most luxurious to create a
once in a life time local experience.
