Blue-Roads Touring…the small group touring experts!

Small-group tours of the UK and Europe is Blue-Road’s specialty. They have spent almost 40 years carefully crafting tours that take you deeper into a destination – putting you at the center of local life, wherever your journey leads.

Connect with a small group – Designed for up to 18 guests, our intimate tours invite you to experience Europe in a deeply personal way – carefully considered and always put first. Connecting with a small group will come easily, and all the stories and scrumptious local dishes you’ll share along the way are what makes it so special.

Thoughtfully selected accommodation – Where you stay isn’t just a cosy spot to count sheep; it’s a gateway to the spirit of a destination. From drifting off to sleep beneath the ancient stone arches of a castle to waking to the distant chimes of a village church bell, we make sure you’re fully immersed in the essence of every place – from start to finish.

Be guided by the best – Here’s our secret: supremely passionate, entirely unflappable and truly thoughtful Tour Leaders. These local experts own precious golden keys for each destination, unlocking unique and unexpected experiences. Warm and welcoming, their insider know-how, stirring stories and personal touches ensure your tour is genuinely and distinctively yours.

Soak up every moment – Slow it down and soak it up. When you explore the scenic back roads, you’re fully immersed. Hear the gentle hum of village life, feel the crisp coastal air on your cheeks, feast your eyes on a field of wildflowers. Traveling in luxury minicoaches, each twist and turn of the journey will widen your eyes with wonder – and every moment’s a memory you’ll want to pack in your suitcase and bring home.

Feel like a local – It’s not always about what you see; it’s how you feel. That’s why our enriching experiences connect you to the personal stories beyond the sights. From hands-on cookery classes to traditional crafts, you’ll delve into the heart of each destination with the warmth and wit of the community beside you. With us, you won’t just discover a local way of life – you’ll become a part of it.

Go beyond the surface – A pace carefully designed for discovery means you’ll uncover the deeper layers of every location. Unearth the mysteries of the past. Reveal a region’s true culture. And indulge in flavors that tell the rich tapestry of the land and its people. Blue-Roads tours are created for the curious – but where your journey will take you is another tale entirely.

Book with confidence – Sometimes your travel plans might change. That’s why we give you the flexibility to make adjustments, meaning you can book your UK or European escape with confidence. Read about our Booking Flexibility here.
