I really enjoyed the tour. It gave me a taste of a number of countries. Tour guide was enthusiastic and knowlegeable. Felt safe with the driver at all times. Driver and tour guide worked together well.
Communication is way below standard. Not enough time at most of the stops, way to much time on bus, accommodations were ok, food excellent I disliked that additional tour had to be paid in cash in that country’s currency. Not being properly informed before of that additional cost. I would have preferred to have pick extra tours and had them charged to my account before I ever began the trip. Bus driver was excellent. Your guide was ok. But the most important issue was the lack of communication from Expat Explorer Will not travel with them again

Parts were very good, others were not good. Federica, our tour leader was terrific. Some hotels were not good & the hotel locations were too far outside of the city centers. I dislike the one night stays and felt very rushed in some locations. I would have preferred longer stays in several places.
We had a great group. Itinerary was just what I was looking for. Everyone could choose what they wanted to do during the day.

Europamundo

  • Good - 3,005 reviews for Europe tours
We absolutely loved "Raid/Reid" our tour guide. He was friendly, professional and always had answers to our many questions. The tour was a bit fast-paced for us "older" folks, but we saw so much of Italy during this relatively short tour. I'd have preferred hotels a little closer to the city(s) but would definitely take another tour with your company.
It was a great trip. I enjoyed it with my dad

Intrepid Travel

  • Excellent - 11,705 reviews for Europe tours
We were first-timers to hiking tours. We found the experience challenging and enjoyable. Cahit was flexible and patient to keep our group on schedule while giving us room to move at our pace. The views were spectacular. The food and accomodations were very nice - beds were comfortable (really important for tired hikers!) It would be nice to allow more time for rest for those that need it, but we recognize it is difficult to meet everyone’s wishes. Great job Cahit!! Thanks!!!
Overall, it was 6 days of diving into the rich culture and history of Turkey, scenic views and fun under the sun. Ata our guide, was very accomodating and flexible to our group's needs. A couple of non-attendees have hindered our prompt start and delayed our itinerary for the 1st day. The Istanbul part could have been planned more I believe, although most people stay a day or two after the group tour.

Contiki

  • Excellent - 5,452 reviews for Europe tours
Our tour guide, Rianna, was the heart and soul of our journey, effortlessly blending professionalism with a warm, approachable demeanor. Every day was perfectly organized, which allowed us all to soak in the sights and sounds of Europe without any stress. The itinerary was a fantastic mix of iconic landmarks and hidden gems, showing the depth of knowledge and planning from the Contiki team. What really stood out to me was Ri’s ability to connect with all of us, ensuring that each traveler felt included and special. Thanks to their dedication, not only did I leave with beautiful memories but also with new friends from around the world. I would highly recommend a Contiki trip to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized, and memorable travel experience. They truly go above and beyond!
My guide was Ri and she was so fantastic!!! She looked after everyone, was a great organiser and made the trip so enjoyable. I had the best trip of my life and everything we did was amazing

Intense as expected. The hotels were good and centrally located for the most part. Tour guides Dusan in Northern balkan countries and then Vasso for the last Greece part were young, knowledgeable, energetic, friendly, easy going and took care of every detail for us
It was overall a wonderful experience. Our Tour Guide, Dusan was amazing!

This trip is very nice and Jon very helpful Ginder we will come again everything clearly and good understanding
We had a fantastic experience with our Glimpse of Europe tour. Thanks to our tour director Steve and our driver who made our trip fun and recharge our memory with history. For a short tour, we were able to explore a good amount of places and fulfilled some of our dreams. We had a wonderful group as well who we were really nice even though we came from different countries and backgrounds and gaining friendships is a blessing. Overall we had a fantastic experience.

Avalon Waterways

Avalon Waterways

  • Excellent - 225 reviews for Europe tours
Festive Season on the Blue Danube by Avalon Waterways was an amazing. The intinerary, the service and the food was excellent. I highly recommend it.
When compared to other river cruises on which I have travelled, service on Avalon is less caring. Food is ok but not super. Worst of all, notwithstanding the prevalence of seasonal flu, they did nothing about guests talking avidly without mask while at the buffet table selecting food. Nor were coughing and sneezing customers asked to wear mask while in the bus, boat trips or at briefings. As a result, a number of passengers including my husband and I developed very bad flu towards the end of the trip.

Globus

  • Excellent - 74,885 reviews for Europe tours
Full immersion into the culture and sights of Portugal! Great hotels with superb in town locations. Great restaurants and/or food recommendations. Driver and guide were highly accomplished and informative in a fun, story format. Guide did a great job of mixing us together and ease into making new friends. Good mix of lots of group activities and individual time.
The only thing that will keep me from considering or recomending Tour Radar with Hlobus is the lack or inability to talk to a real person I had to text TourRadar to ask globus for information only to be told many time one or the other is not answering. In the end it all worked out and the staff at the site was good but the early communication may cause me to shop around

Choose Balkans

Choose Balkans

  • Excellent - 290 reviews for Europe tours
The tour was a perfect blend of the historical, the wilderness and the gastronomic! Being able to learn so much knowledge about regional and urban Albania was a complete delight. Throw in having your own personal time to enjoy each day, by yourself, as well was great for me as well. The tour was extremely well structured with my guide, Daniel, being flexible and accommodating is what interested me the most. His encyclopedic knowledge of all subjects was amazing and made the journey so much more interesting. Special call out to all the accommodations along the trip which were so welcoming and first rate. I would certainly recommend this tour to others I meet wanting to travel to Albania. Cheers,
Juli was our tour guide and was fantastic! He knew the local history, architecture, culture, food, and current environment. We could not have found a more knowledgeable guide and competent driver on our own! And the Choose Balkans team that organizes and manages all the logistics are world class! I've traveled to more than 40 countries, and I'd match this tour group with any in the world I've used before. I'm grateful for a memorable experience and for making our time in Tirana worthwhile. It was a trip that we will not forget!

Trafalgar

  • Excellent - 1,893 reviews for Europe tours
well organized, and very well led by Mikael Martinho Mendes ,our tour dicector. Most local tour experts were good, however, others were weak.
Fine tour with a lot of nice people from almost all over the world. To us it was a disappointment that the optional tour in Edinburgh with Johnnie Walker experts, advertised in the program, wasn’t available.

Topdeck

  • Excellent - 632 reviews for Europe tours
My first Insight Tour and it was amazing. Scenic tour of the beautiful countryside, towns, and historic sites of England, Scotland, Wales, and Republic of Ireland. Our Travel Director, Greg, was very professional, knowledgeable of the history, culture, food, music, and local 'celebrities'. Greg and our driver (Arthur - the best) worked together as a team, making our trip enjoyable, memorable, and fun. Always courteous, respectful, and conscientious of our time, safety, and well-being. Good job!
What a wonderful way to experience my first tour. This 13 day highlight of the best that Britain an Ireland have to offer was full of amazing opportunities to taste the culture and meet locals that lovel and adore their country and the history that holds. Greg our tour guide was exceptionally in his organisation, knowledge and commitment to ensuring that we enjoyed our trip. His attention to details and the extras to make the group feel welcomed and special. My personal experience on my special day was made even more heart warming by Greg's kindness and effort in make sure that I felt loved and acknowledge with an celebration at the evening meal. Arthur our driver was amazing and his experience in driving showed in the professionalism he demonstrated in through the entire 13 days. Overall i would throughly recommend this trip to anyone especially if they are blessed with Greg and Arthur.

I had lovely holiday in the Baltics. The trip was well organised with knowledgeable guides. Highly recommend this company.

Total Current Assets / Total Current Liabilities

This ratio is a rough indication of a firm’s ability to service its current obligations. Generally, the higher the current ratio, the greater the "cushion" between current obligations and a firm’s ability to pay them. While a stronger ratio shows that the numbers for current assets exceed those for current liabilities, the composition and quality of current assets are critical factors in the analysis of an individual firm’s liquidity.

Total Revenue / Accounts Receivable

365 / Receivables Turnover Ratio

This figure expresses the average number of days that receivables are outstanding. Generally, the greater the number of days outstanding, the greater the probability of delinquencies in accounts receivable. A comparison of this ratio may indicate the extent of a company’s control over credit and collections. However, companies within the same industry may have different terms offered to customers, which must be considered.

Total Revenue / Closing Inventory

This is an efficiency ratio, which indicates the average liquidity of the inventory or whether a business has over or under stocked inventory. This ratio is also known as "inventory turnover" and is often calculated using "cost of sales" rather than "total revenue." This ratio is not very relevant for financial, construction and real estate industries.

365 / Inventory Turnover Ratio

Dividing the inventory turnover ratio into 365 days yields the average length of time units are in inventory.

Total Revenue / Net Working Capital

Because it reflects the ability to finance current operations, working capital is a measure of the margin of protection for current creditors. When you relate the level of sales resulting from operations to the underlying working capital, you can measure how efficiently working capital is being used. *Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

(Net Profit + Interest & Bank Charges) / Interest & Bank Charges)

This ratio calculates the average number of times that interest owing is earned and, therefore, indicates the debt risk of a business. The larger the ratio, the more able a firm is to cover its interest obligations on debt. This ratio is not very relevant for financial industries. This ratio is also known as "times interest earned."

Total Liabilities / Total Equity

This is a solvency ratio, which indicates a firm's ability to pay its long-term debts. The lower the positive ratio is, the more solvent the business. The debt to equity ratio also provides information on the capital structure of a business, the extent to which a firm's capital is financed through debt. This ratio is relevant for all industries.

Total Liabilities / Total Assets

This is a solvency ratio indicating a firm's ability to pay its long-term debts, the amount of debt outstanding in relation to the amount of capital. The lower the ratio, the more solvent the business is.

(Net Fixed Assets * 100) / Equity

Net fixed assets represent long-term investment, so this percentage indicates relative capital investment structure.

Total Revenue / Equity

It indicates the profitability of a business, relating the total business revenue to the amount of investment committed to earning that income. This ratio provides an indication of the economic productivity of capital.

(Net Profit * 100) / Equity

This percentage indicates the profitability of a business, relating the business income to the amount of investment committed to earning that income. This percentage is also known as "return on investment" or "return on equity." The higher the percentage, the relatively better profitability is.

(Net Profit + Interest and Bank Charges) * 100 / Total Assets

This percentage, also known as "return on total investment," is a relative measure of profitability and represents the rate of return earned on the investment of total assets by a business. It reflects the combined effect of both the operating and the financing/investing activities of a business. The higher the percentage, the better profitability is.

(Total Current Assets * 100) / Total Assets

This percentage represents the total of cash and other resources that are expected to be realized in cash, or sold or consumed within one year or the normal operating cycle of the business, whichever is longer.

(Accounts Receivable * 100) / Total Assets

This percentage represents all claims against debtors arising from the sale of goods and services and any other miscellaneous claims with respect to non-trade transaction. It excludes loan receivables and some receivables from related parties.

(Closing Inventory * 100) / Total Assets

This percentage represents tangible assets held for sale in the ordinary course of business, or goods in the process of production for such sale, or materials to be consumed in the production of goods and services for sale. It excludes assets held for rental purposes.

(Other Current Assets * 100) / Total Assets

This percentage represents all current assets not accounted for in accounts receivable and closing inventory.

(Net Tangible & Intangible Assets * 100) / Total Assets

This percentage represents tangible or intangible property held by businesses for use in the production or supply of goods and services or for rental to others in the regular operations of the business. It excludes those assets intended for sale. Examples of such items are plant, equipment, patents, goodwill, etc. Valuation of net fixed assets is the recorded net value of accumulated depreciation, amortization and depletion.

(All Other Assets & Adjustments * 100) / Total Assets

This percentage represents all other assets not elsewhere recorded, such as long-term bonds.

Average Total Assets

This figure represents the average value of all resources controlled by an enterprise as a result of past transactions or events from which future economic benefits may be obtained.

(Total Current Liabilities * 100) / Total Assets

This percentage represents obligations that are expected to be paid within one year, or within the normal operating cycle, whichever is longer. Current liabilities are generally paid out of current assets or through creation of other current liabilities. Examples of such liabilities include accounts payable, customer advances, etc.

(Current Bank Loans * 100) / Total Assets

This percentage represents all current loans and notes payable to Canadian chartered banks and foreign bank subsidiaries, with the exception of loans from a foreign bank, loans secured by real estate mortgages, bankers acceptances, bank mortgages and the current portion of long-term bank loans.

(Other Current Liabilities * 100) / Total Assets

(Long-Term Liabilities * 100) / Total Assets

This percentage represents obligations that are not reasonably expected to be liquidated within the normal operating cycle of the business but, instead, are payable at some date beyond that time. It includes obligations such as long-term bank loans and notes payable to Canadian chartered banks and foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of loans secured by real estate mortgages, loans from foreign banks and bank mortgages and other long-term liabilities.

(Total Liabilities * 100) / Total Assets

This percentage represents the obligations of an enterprise arising from past transactions or events, the settlements of which may result in the transfer of assets, provision of services or other yielding of economic benefits in the future.

(Total Equity * 100) / Total Assets

This percentage represents the net worth of businesses and includes elements such as the value of common and preferred shares, as well as earned, contributed and other surpluses.

Average Total Liabilities + Average Total Equity

This figure represents the sum of two separate line items, which are added together and checked against a company’s total assets. This figure must match total assets to ensure a balance sheet is properly balanced.

In recent years, the rise in the number of online travel intermediaries was aided by the growth in the number of internet users along with the demand for convenience among travelers further supported the rise in the market for online travel Intermediaries.

The travel and tourism market in Europe grew by 16% in 2021 as the sector witnessed a recovery in the demand after easing the restrictions which were placed on account of the Outbreak of the pandemic COVID-19 and online travel intermediaries’ sharp rise in travel products as the consumers planned their travel activities after the gap of close to two years.

5 Top Tour Operators to Book on Your Next Trip to Europe

Keep the trip-planning process hassle-free with top-rated tour operators across the pond.

Guide explaining to tourists the Coliseum of Rome

A reputable tour operator can help minimize headaches and maximize value.

Europe offers a treasure trove of museums, archeological sites and historic monuments. But, unless you're an art historian or medieval scholar, in order to fully appreciate these cherished attractions – and make the most of your limited vacation time – you'll want to book day tours with local tour operators. Reserving tours with a reputable tour company can ensure a richer (and more stress-free) experience, especially when traveling with kids in tow. Plus, booking reservations with a trusted guide far in advance can not only ensure availability but can also help you secure discounts and maximize savings. Here's who to go with on your next trip across the pond.

Fat Tire Tours

This English-speaking, British-headquartered tour operator has branches in Paris, Berlin, Barcelona and London, and offers 'skip the line' tours for major tourist attractions as well as unique city tours by bike. Opting for the latter and exploring iconic sights such as the Eiffel Tower  and the Tuileries Gardens from behind handlebars holds more appeal for kids than walking and makes for a more memorable and pleasant experience. Apart from benefitting from a knowledgeable guide as you navigate the city by bike, you'll also have the added element of keeping teens and preteens enthralled. Book a Fat Tire Tour online in advance of your trip, as the operator is very popular, but also look for deals offered by the company after your tour. There are often discounts available for booking second tours, and given the variety of offerings in each city, families could easily spend another day exploring with the Fat Tire crew.

Overome  

Focused solely on the Eternal City , Overome is a highly specialized tour company that offers small group and private tours at major Roman sites, such as the Vatican and Colosseum. While Overome primarily covers the can't-miss points of interest across Rome, their greatest strength lies in their tour guides. Their reputable guides are known for their enthusiasm and friendly demeanors, which help make it easy for families to unwind and enjoy in-depth tours of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, without hordes of tourists at their side during prime visiting seasons. In a city known for crushing crowds at tourist attractions, having a guided tour with a small group can easily transform your trip from stressful and hassle-prone to headache-free.

Viator tours are offered in multiple countries across Europe and beyond, making this tour company the most expansive on this list. Travelers booking a tour through Viator can look forward to a range of offerings from daytrips from Paris to Normandy or Mont Saint-Michel to tours of Belgian Christmas markets to walks through Turkish bazaars . How does Viator offer such an extensive list of tours? They act as a middleman, pairing travelers in need of tours with local tour operations in European cities. First, travelers book the tour of their choice through Viator. Then, a subsequent email confirmation lists the local meeting point for the tour and includes information on the local tour company used. While Viator users do have to deal with two companies rather than one, they can count on the process to be streamlined and user-friendly. Best of all, Viator rigorously vets their local operators, so travelers don't have to worry about whether they're in good hands.

Walks of Italy

With tours offered in Venice, Rome, Florence, Pompeii, Tuscany, Milan and the Almalfi Coast, Walks of Italy is a standout pick for specialty tours across Italy. The company is known to tap visitors into the local culture with treks to off-the-beaten-path sites and hidden gems across the country. In other words, after you've seen the major landmarks, or think you know all there is to know about an Italian destination, take a Walks of Italy tour to discover lesser-known places. Their Rome as a Local Tour takes visitors across the city and into the suburbs to hit all the attractions guidebooks tend to gloss over, from chariot tracks on the Appian Way to aqueducts to the secret keyhole to St. Peter's Basilica. As your Walks of Italy tour guide takes you to less-trodden local points of interest, you're bound to feel more like an insider than a tourist.

Brit Movie Tours

Offering a fun way to explore London and the United Kingdom, Brit Movie Tours specializes – as you may have guessed – in movie locations for fans of series shown on both the big and small screen. Families will be most interested in their Harry Potter tour, which takes fans across the capital for three hours via motor coach to locations such as Kings Cross station and 12 Grimmauld Place, but there are also tours for fans of Doctor Who, the Beatles, Sherlock and more. Tours range in size, so look closely at tour descriptions. Also, consider private tours if a top priority is exploring top locations without heavy crowds.

Before You Book

All the tour operators on this list specialize in half-day and full-day tours in major European cities and all companies offer both small and large group tour sizes, ranging in price from approximately 30-200 euros per person. When possible, book your reservations in advance and opt for a small group size of 10 or fewer participants for the most value.

The Economic Impact of Online Travel Agencies in Europe 2019 – 2021

OTAs generate additional travel demand for accommodations in Europe boosting GDP and job creation. In particular independent accommodations benefit from OTAs by accruing a larger share of bookings than the market average. OTAs support more equitable development across Europe by orienting consumers towards rural areas. Consumers in Europe also benefit from OTAs through more affordable rates offered to travellers.

This study below quantifies the incremental impact of online travel agencies (OTAs) on the tourism industry and broader economy of Europe. The number of travellers organising travel through OTAs increased steadily from 2012 to 2019 to 1.2 billion nights which represented almost 1 in 3 nights booked in Europe – a proportion of these nights, and associated economic benefits would not have happened without the trusted information, transparency and choice provided by OTAs. All travel bookings fell sharply during the pandemic, including some shifts in OTA use resulting in a lower impact on the tourism market and the broader economy in 2020 and 2021. OTAs still play an important role in matching evolving consumer demand with available supply.

Europe Online Travel Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

The Report Covers Europe Online Travel Market Statistics and is Segmented by Service Type (Transportation, Travel Accommodation, Vacation Packages, and Others), By Booking Type (Online Travel Agencies, Direct Travel Suppliers), By Platform (Desktop, Mobile), and By Country (United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Rest of Europe). The report offers market size and forecast values for the European Online Travel Market in USD billion for the above segments.

  • Europe Online Travel Market Size

Europe Online Travel Market Summary

Need a report that reflects how COVID-19 has impacted this market and its growth?

Europe Online Travel Market Analysis

The Europe Online Travel Market size is estimated at USD 89.22 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 131.94 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.14% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Online bookings are advancing faster than the overall market, with most of the growth coming from suppliers' and OTAs' mobile platforms. In Europe, a focus on tourism is seen as one of the key pillars for job growth and inclusive growth. Social media platforms have emerged as a prominent marketing opportunity for online travel companies in recent years. Given the large-scale use of social media by consumers, their preferences and interests are easily tracked, which helps travel companies target those that are likely to opt for travel experiences and who can also afford travel packages. These factors offer online travel companies highly comprehensive insights into customer wants and behaviours.

With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, Europe's online travel industry experienced a sharp fall in demand, especially in 2020. The worldwide spread of the coronavirus resulted in complete lockdown and border closures in a number of countries. Moreover, the shutdown of the airline industry and the increasing fear of catching the coronavirus while traveling pushed people to stay at home. All these factors negatively impacted the growth of the market. However, the market bounced back in 2021 while growing at a significant rate from 2022 onward.

  • Europe Online Travel Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Europe Online Travel Market according to our research experts:

Shift towards Mobile Phones for Travel Booking

Over the last few years, it has been observed that an increasing number of consumers are moving away from using desktop computers and instead using their mobile devices to research and book travel. Booking via smartphones is gaining more traction in the market as smartphone penetration rises and customers get more used to paying online. The industry has undergone a number of changes over the past decade due to advances in technology. Online travel agents' service models offer a variety of services through a single platform. The travel booking process has undergone a dramatic shift from physical booking to web booking and is now a mobile platform.

Europe Online Travel Market - Ranking of Smartphone Penetration in Europe by Selected Countries, In %, 2021

Online Travel Market in Germany Growing Steadily

Germany, with its strong economy and high consumer confidence, is Europe's largest travel market. While the majority of Germans still book travel offline, online and mobile bookings are growing quickly. Germany's online travel market has grown more slowly than some other European countries due to the popularity of offline distribution and the leading role of tour operators. The growth of digital booking, now fueled by mobile, will continue to outpace the overall market. Despite relatively low online travel penetration, German travellers have been quick to adopt mobile technology. High smartphone penetration and the growing availability of 5G devices will drive the adoption of new types of customer interactions throughout the travel journey, including emerging features such as voice-based services and augmented reality.

Verified review.

Georgia planned a great vacation for my family (parents plus two 20-ish daughters). We went to Athens (4nts), Naxos (4nts) and Santorini (3nts). It took a couple of iterations to finalize the itinerary (which I took as a positive because it showed Georgia was really listening and working to customize the trip what my family was looking for rather than offering a canned tour). And I may be just a *wee* picky :) The guides she secured were all wonderful. Our guide in Athens was absolutely lovely. She was knowledgeable and friendly. We were chatting like friends before too long. She also took great care of our daughter when she got a little ill during our Acropolis tour. Naxos was the favorite part of our trip. We loved what the island has: great beaches, food, restaurants, cultural sights, nature/hiking and water activities and what it did NOT have: high prices, crowds. Santorini..since it was our 1st visit, we couldn't *not* stop. It's beautiful for sure but it was also expensive and crowded. One and done for us. The transfers in all three locations were impeccable.Overall, our trip was seamless and the communication with Georgia was great throughout.

Zicasso’s travel operator planned a fantastic trip. They had timed plans for us at the beginning, with suggestions for the afternoons so we wouldn’t feel rushed. We also found one of our spots was closed, and they worked with us to find a new time to make it work. The hotels and hikes were very well planned and we got to see and do all we dreamed of!

The trip was wonderful and the support from the travel agency was unstinting. From the first day, they were quickly responsive and continually exceeded our expectations. We had no hiccups along the way, so we didn't need to call on them during the trip, but I am confident they would have sorted any issue that arose.  Their reputation was reinforced by our guide in Bath, who said they were a great company to work with and emphasized that anybody who "picked up the phone" would provide the high level of service we'd experienced.

Travel agent Lisa in France

Lisa's Travel Agency

Our Zicasso travel agent was fantastic. She planned a great trip that matched what we were looking for, then helped to figure out last-minute changes because of bad weather during the trip. It was comforting knowing someone else cared about the success of our trip as much as we did, and was willing to work to make things run smoothly.

Travel agent Stéphane in France

Stéphane's Travel Agency

Zicasso’s travel agent was there for us when we landed and throughout our stay. We had a wonderful and memorable family trip to France. Our agent was very thoughtful. The tour guides he organized were all knowledgeable and great with our children. The driver was also kind and a total professional.

Travel agent Jorge in Spain

Jorge's Travel Agency

 Based on  28  reviews

I worked with our travel agent for my trip to Spain. He prepared an itinerary for us which was perfect, with all the places we intended to travel. I loved that he was flexible in working with us on a final itinerary that met our expectations. Our travel agent was available every step of the way, advising of any changes by tour agencies or in transportation, which gave us peace of mind during our entire trip. The tour agencies were exceptional and knowledgeable about all the places we visited. The private transportation worked out well. All drivers were accommodating and helpful with our luggage. The hotels were all central and within our budget. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend our travel company to anyone looking for a special experience in Spain. I know that when the opportunity comes I will use our travel company again. I have already recommended his services to friends and family planning to visit Spain.

Travel agent Bjoern in Switzerland

Bjoern's Travel Agency

 Based on  33  reviews

We had a wonderful family vacation. Zicasso's travel specialist took time to understand our needs and work with us over several months to provide us with his views and suggestions. He was patient in listening to us and made an effort to refine the itineraries to meet our needs. Throughout the trip, he stayed in touch to provide the support needed. For example, the connecting train from Visp to Zermatt was stopped due to weather. He was with us all the way to provide assurance and guidance in reaching Zermatt safely. Everything was well organized. When we reached our hotel room, a lovely pouch with all the necessary travel vouchers and tickets was on our desk.
