Trafalgar Tours

With Trafalgar Tours’ guided holidays, guests experience an authentic insight into local cultures with a plethora of hand-picked Insider Experiences, such as dining with local families in their homes, meeting interesting local characters (historians, artisans, dancers, and archaeologists), and staying in unusual hotels that capture local culture — like a castle in Ireland, a cave hotel in Turkey, or a traditional junk boat on Halong Bay! 

Tours with this award-winning company include 4 or 5-star accommodations, VIP entry to sights, expert Tour Directors, luxury coaches with wi-fi, optional excursions, breakfast and at least half of other meals.

Insider Experiences include VIP access to special sights such as the Vatican’s Bramante staircase in Italy, usually out of bounds to the general public. A unique double-helix staircase built in 1505; the spiral of carved stone once bore the weight of horses. It’s a great way to see the papal conclave behind-the-scenes. And they’ll arrange your tickets beforehand so you won’t have to wait in line.

Trafalgar distinguishes itself from other large tour companies with a variety of different trip styles, including Regional Explorer (two or more countries of a popular region); Country Explorer (a single country); At Leisure (a slower pace with two or more nights in each destination); Family Experiences (appropriate for all ages); Hidden Journeys (smaller groups that visit less traveled to places); Discoveries (iconic sights of an entire continent); Cruise, Rail & Combinations; Special Interests (food & wine, history, and garden tours).
