Chauffeur-driven tours of Europe customized to suit your party's exact needs.

For those who want a very personalized service for their European tour, we offer our Elegant Journeys programme.

 Cities and Countryside of Italy

The perfect introduction to this fascinating country. Our itinerary includes city-stays in Rome, Florence and Venice, with private guides in attendance to ensure that you see the best of each place. The itinerary also takes you to the delightful countryside of Umbria, Tuscany and the Italian Lakes with a personal driver to act as your guide, interpreter, travel companion and concierge throughout. Our tour includes visits to private wineries, special shopping tours in the cities, private museum visits, and some 'off the tourist track' locations which will make this a unique travel experience.

Trains and Tracks of Switzerland

Enjoy the delights of Switzerland's magnificent railway system in this charming tour. The train will take you from city to city, and also to some of the mountain-towns and villages such as Zermatt, Grindelwald and St-Moritz. Between train-rides, you are driven by one of our professional guides who will give you a special insight into this unique country at the heart of Europe. Hikes into the mountains can also be arranged and customised to meet your needs and abilities.

Chateaux of France

A three-centre stay in Normandy, the Loire and Paris, which highlights the magnificent chateaux and palaces of the north of France. In Normandy you are in rural areas away from the normal tourist itineraries, and, as well as the chateaux, you may also choose to visit local markets, horse-breeders, gardens, spa towns and craftsmen's workshops. In the Loire, the chateaux are, of course, very well-known, but there are also gourmet restaurants, vineyards, garden festivals, ancient abbeys and historic towns to see. Enhance your countryside stay at a chateau-hotel. Your sojourn in Paris may be customised to suit your particular interests; we suggest a private tour of Versailles, Fontainebleau and Vaux-le-Vicomte to continue the Chateaux theme. Enhance your countryside stay at a chateau-hotel.

Treasures of England's West Country

One of the most popular holiday region for the British people, but little-known to most overseas tourists. The West Country is another name for the counties of Devon and Cornwall, renowned for their stunning seascapes, charming villages and mild climate. Your driver-guide will take you to explore artists' colonies, exquisite gardens and literary sites. The legends of King Arthur and the Holy Grail give the region an air of myth and mystery.

Our itineraries with private driver-guide can be themed around particular areas of interest; gardens, antiques, art or music itineraries work well on this type of programme. Tours can be customised to suit your party's budget and time-frame; please note however that the tours, with private driver-guide, are priced at around USD 500/ GBP 300 per person per day including First-Class accommodation.

These are just a few examples of our personalised European programmes for parties of all sizes. We offer tours in every part of Western Europe, and specialise in including unusual features and 'off the beaten path' locations. For further details and ideas, please contact us direct.

This is the only type of programme which we offer for individual travellers, families and small groups.
