Ultimate European (Plus Greek Islands, Start London)

Start & end in London 45 days Up to 50

About this trip

This is a proper continental sweep for anyone who wants to see the lot rather than pick and choose. Forty-five days takes you from London right across Europe and down into the Greek Islands, covering countries and cities that most trips would need to split into three or four separate holidays.

Expect a lot of ground covered — Romania, Switzerland, Istanbul and Amsterdam all feature, with ferries included to link up the legs. It's a fully guided group trip throughout, so someone else is handling the logistics while you focus on the places.

The Greek Islands section at the end gives you a proper change of pace after weeks of cities and borders, swapping museums and old towns for beaches and boats.

What you'll do

  • Travel overland and by ferry across a wide stretch of Europe, from Romania to Switzerland
  • Spend time in Istanbul, straddling Europe and Asia
  • Explore Amsterdam's canals and old city
  • Island-hop through the Greek Islands by ferry
  • Fully guided throughout, with a group covering the whole route together
Good to know
  • At 45 days this is a long commitment — you're moving through multiple countries and climates, not settling in one place
  • Shared rooms throughout, so you'll want to be comfortable with communal group living for the duration
  • Fully guided pace means transport and logistics are handled, but expect busy days covering a lot of destinations
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want a properly guided 45-day European sprint with genuinely brilliant group chemistry. Think twice if you need flexibility or dislike regimented coach tours.

  • Guide Greg was exceptional—knowledgeable all day, partying all night, answered every question, became genuine mates with the group.
  • Strangers bonded into family across 45 days; group vibe and shared experiences were consistently cited as trip-defining.
  • Logistical execution was smooth and professional; Athens, Greek Islands and major European cities covered without reported hitches.
  • No reviews mention costs, free time balance, accommodation quality or daily pace—suggest asking about those specifics directly.
