Europe Adventure Tours, Travel & Holidays

Europe truly offers something for everyone, from its well-known attractions to its newly emerging destinations. By day, you can visit sophisticated cities and quiet villages, art galleries and museums, cathedrals and castles, Roman ruins, historic monuments, varied architecture and street cafés. By night, you can enjoy lively bars and excellent restaurants, then dance the night away in vibrant nightclubs. For those who can’t resist the lure of nature, the idyllic sunlit coastline of Croatia or the breathtaking scenery of Macedonia will not disappoint. Not only can you visit iconic cities like Paris or Dubrovnik, but you can also cruise down the Danube in picturesque Budapest. To say nothing of exploring tiny villages in the Romanian countryside, sampling pierogis in Poland or even roaming the cobbled streets of Prague.

There is a group tour in Europe for everyone, each one packed with included activities, breathtaking UNESCO sights and history and culture galore.

Why Travel Europe with Tucan Travel

Local Transport

Travelling Europe using local transport is simple, cost effective and generally pretty reliable. City buses are clean, provide a regular service and are easy to navigate. Budget airlines frequently fly between countries and cities, however trains are often the preferred option for crossing borders.

A train journey in Europe is an experience in itself! Chugging through rugged highlands, passing through picturesque towns and carving into glorious alpine landscapes, your train seat can be one of the best spots for appreciating the natural beauty of Europe as it passes by your window.
