Luxury Europe Tours

Europe is a continent that sees a range of climates and the type of tour you have in mind will likely determine the destination you choose.

If you want to take a city break to one of the major European destinations, such as Paris or Rome, visiting in the quieter months of March to June and September to October is perfect. At these times of the year, the weather is pleasantly warm, making it easy to get the most out of your tour of Europe's most glamorous locations.

Should you seek an itinerary that takes you to the Mediterranean shores, spring and fall are the perfect seasons for exploring the coastline. However, if you crave the heat, July to September are peak months for summer sun.

The temperatures cool across Europe throughout winter, but this is the time to wrap up and visit the festive markets. You'll find wintry landscapes and snow-capped mountains in Scandinavia, while Iceland boasts a strikingly magical scenery and Finland is home to Santa Claus himself. Winter is also when the Alps come alive, with skiers seeking the perfect snow from December to April.

There are some key factors to consider before taking a Europe tour:

• Languages

  Five languages in Europe have more than 50 million native speakers: Russian, French, German, Italian and English. However, English is spoken by the largest number of people, with around 200 million having it as a second language.

  Although these are the most common, most countries across the continent have their own native language. Whether you're traveling to Sweden or Spain, it can be useful to learn some of the basic phrases. Your expert guide can also help you if you have difficulty with pronunciation.

• Healthcare

  It's advised that you purchase travel insurance to protect you against the costs of any medical treatment you require while on your tour of Europe. While the costs are often lower than those in the U.S. due to state funding, travel insurance can protect you from having to cover them.

  Check the terms of your existing U.S. health insurance policy to see what, if anything, it will cover while you're abroad.

• Currency

  The main currency in Europe is the euro - it's the official currency of 20 EU countries. However, it's important to note that some EU countries, such as Denmark and Sweden, have elected to retain their own currency. Before you travel, you should check the currency of the country you're visiting. However, ATMs are available across Europe and credit cards are widely accepted.
