Europe tours in October 2024

Autumn arrives in an explosion of colour in Europe

With lively festivals (hello, Oktoberfest), autumn foliage and mild temperatures, October makes for exceptional European travel. While autumnal weather may not always be suitable for every outdoor expedition, it does make the region less expensive than its summer counterparts. In October, you’ll be able to sit on beaches in Amalfi, explore ancient civilisations in Malta and maybe even see snow in Iceland, all without the high-season crowds.

This trip is exceptional for the beauty of the visited sites. The group leader makes everyone comfortable and the size of the group is perfect to develop a group spirit.

Highlights of Italy in Winter

Roz · Traveled October 2023
I’m a solo traveller, so please don’t be afraid, the tour group embraces all. Definitely try to think about booking the really busy tourist attractions in advance. Failing that skip the line tours are an easy way to get a ticket, but more expensive. However having the guide is quite invaluable and informative. I also recommend extra days at beginning and end.

To really appreciate Italy with its rich cultural history, delicious food, superb architecture and fascinating cities would take a lifetime. But, if you do the small group, 8 day ' Highlights of Italy in Winter' tour, you will certainly come away with a deep appreciation of this amazing country.
