European Cultural Tours

Europe Cultural Holidays

Europe has a fascinating history and is home to some of the most architecturally impressive cities on the planet. Choosing where to go and what to see can be overwhelming when there’s so much choice, which is why we offer a wide range of Europe cultural tours that highlight the most interesting and beautiful places you need to experience.

From walking trips in Italy to discovering the gems of Dubrovnik, our Europe culture tours are packed with once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We also have amazing exploration trips in central and Eastern Europe, where you can go to the best diving hotspots in Turkey or enjoy a city tour of Russia.

Stretching along the vibrant coastline of southern Italy, the Amalfi Coast is a mesmerising destination renowned for its dramatic cliffs, colourful villages and crystal-clear waters. Explore characterful towns like Amalfi, Positano and Ravello and admire the magnificent views of the Mediterranean. Sicily is another of Italy’s cultural gems, combining ancient Greek ruins with Baroque towns.

Often overlooked on Europe culture tours, Albania is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. The country showcases a blend of Ottoman, Roman and Greek influences, along with breathtaking landscapes. Explore ancient cities like Butrint, an archaeological site that depicts the rise and fall of past civilisations, and explore the vibrant capital city, Tirana, known for its mix of Ottoman, socialist and modern architecture.

The Baltics are equally as enthralling with the medieval old towns of Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius, where cobblestone streets and Gothic spires exude a medieval charm. Soak up stunning coastal views, visit enchanting castles and immerse yourself in the cultural heritage of these Baltic gems.

Expert insight: Europe Cultural Trips

“As cheaper flights have opened up the farthest-flung corners of the world, it’s become easy to forget (or dismiss) what we have in our own backyard. But Europe is packed with the very ingredients we travel the globe for: romance, adventure, contrast, drama. My trip to Romania with Exodus involved only a three-hour flight, but it introduced me to landscapes and cultures I thought had long disappeared, as well as one of the most thrilling animal encounters I’ve ever had: watching a dozen brown bears from a hide deep in the Carpathian mountains. Now there’s a backyard worth exploring.”

Dan Linstead, Wanderlust Editor, travelled to Romania with Exodus

As an Exodus Staff member i thought this was a fantastic tour that perfectly balanced nature, history, and culture. One of the highlights was the variety of experiences, from exploring fascinating cities and learning about the region’s complex past to enjoying breathtaking landscapes across the Balkans.
A particularly memorable aspect was the opportunity to enjoy home-cooked meals with local families, which provided a genuine insight into daily life. These experiences felt incredibly authentic.

great little trip to Jordan rushed from place to place would habe like a little ore time to photograph certain areas. our guide Sami was adamant to take us to the expensive areas and specific shops rather than the back street locals where we could have saved some money. An item from the jeep collapsed on me whilst seated during a freak wind eruption. fortunately not injuring e but extremely unexpected. Food knowledge good however the rushed walk through the market nd some dwn time in between a tiny bt restricted for the type of break I like. It was a first group holiday like this. the whole group was lovely sami helpful. Huge issues when we checked in the last hotel where my friend didnt have her room. cross allegations between the hotel and our guide as to the error resulted in wastage of the ONLY free day we had at the end. Not impressed.

A brilliant trip as an introduction to an amazing, varied and vast country. Nearly 3 weeks of mostly off road driving with experienced drivers and our excellent guide Duuree.
Sleeping in Gers which were comfortable and relatively warm but a stove and extra blankets warmed up the coldest of nights. Waking up to snow in the Gobi provided extra excitement.
The Eagle Festival was the highlight of highlights. Watching the hunters from 10-72 proudly parade and fly their eagles was a true privilege. Their willingness to allow people to hold and stroke their precious birds and share their life was a lesson in humility.
Duuree was an excellent guide. She ensured that we were well taken care of in the Ger camps, kept us on track in her lovely gentle way and was by our side throughout to help us make the best of our trip.
Overall a highly recommended trip.
