Experience Europe’s Most Beautiful Places
Are you dreaming of a different kind of European vacation?
- A beautiful setting in the countryside?
- An immersion in a different culture and way of life?
- The opportunity to get to know local people?
- A focus on simple pleasures?
- A leisurely and relaxed pace?
If this type of vacation appeals to you, you’ll enjoy our European Experiences trips! We offer small group tours in the most beautiful areas of Europe, special places that have captured our hearts in almost 20 years of European travel.
Each year we offer several weeks of The Luberon Experience in Provence, France, based in the village of Bonnieux (shown above). Our family lived in Bonnieux a few years ago, and we consider this almost our second home. Our other trips vary each year, as we share other wonderful places in Europe that we’ve know well and love with travelers looking for an indepth experience.
European Experiences in 2010
We’ve just announced our 2010 schedule!
- We’ll return to the Luberon for five weeks in 2010: three weeks in May and two weeks in September. Visit our Luberon Experience website for detailed information about our week in Provence.
- In June 2010 we’re delighted to offer two weeks in the beautiful Cotswolds in England.
- We’re also looking forward to a return trip to the Salzkammergut in early July, a wonderful time to enjoy the Austrian Alps.
See the details of our 2010 schedule here.
European Experiences in 2009
In addition to five weeks in the Luberon, in 2009 we’re experiencing two areas that are also very special to us: the Salzkammergut lake district of Austria (just outside Salzburg) and the Bavarian Alps of southern Germany. Our 2009 trips are full, but we do have a waiting list in case of cancellations. See here for information on our 2009 schedule.
In future years we’ll visit other special places in Europe that we love: Alsace in France; the Italian Lakes, and Chianti (Tuscany) in Italy.
Take a few minutes to learn more about our approach to travel and a typical week on one of our “Experience” trips. Other travelers visit Europe. With us you will experience it!
