European Travel Packages

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Discover the places you’ve always longed to see. Marvel at each country’s historic icons and scenic panoramas.  England, Ireland and Northern Ireland, while home to perhaps the most trend-setting and international of European cities, also have some of the most beautiful countryside on earth.  In Italy, you can see more than 2,000 years of history within one city, witness the genius of Michelangelo and DaVinci or visit an enchanting island city that defies reason.  France shares with us the pleasures of life: excellent wines, awe-inspiring art and sumptuous food. Germany zooms ahead along its Autobahn, but stops long enough to raise a stein, sing a song and welcome the world.  The Netherlands, with one wooden shoe in its charming past and the other in the innovative future, continues to enchant visitors with its iconic windmills, tulips and canals.

We welcome you to research European Travel Package by destination, or by clicking on our preferred travel partners. You’ll find a selection of tours, cruises, vacations and rail packages.

Trafalgar Tours 2010

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Trafalgar_TaglineTrafalgar has released a series of dates and preview pricing for many of their 2010 Europe tours, guaranteeing the lowest prices for clients that book early.

Here is how it works:

You place a $200 deposit per person, and this will guarantee you the best price. Then, should the prices increase in OCT 2009 when the actual 2010 brochure is released, Trafalgar will honor the preview price. Should the prices decrease, Trafalgar will honor the lower price vs. the preview one.

Bottom line is that by placing your deposit early, you are guaranteed the lowest price!
