The long tradition of British leisure travellers started with the Grand Tour which encompassed much of Europe in one journey. For today’s traveller who is more familiar with Europe, the Grand Tour concept works best to experience the wonders of more distant countries during one visit on a ‘Jules Verne’ style small group tour. With so many countries to explore, what better way to experience the maximum on a truly Grand Tour!
