A perfectly woven itinerary of fascinating cities, charming countryside, and creative cuisine, this multi-country tour threads together the most memorable sights and experiences of Europe.Don’t miss a stitch after your European Tapestry tour as a high-speed train weaves its way to London. Walk down the aisle where the endless train on Princess Diana’s wedding gown followed her to the altar at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Raise a pint in a pub or lift your gaze on the lofty London Eye with free time to spare as Big Ben chimes. A jolly good time!

The tour cities and sites we visited were all great. The pace of the tour was good (not rushed with time to rest, shop or sight see on our own). Our tour director was fabulous (good communicator, knowledgeable, nice sense of humor). Our driver was a wonderful driver, I always felt safe. The extra excursions (I purchased all 4) were excellent and reasonably priced. I will use Globus again.
Globus Escapes are an economical way to travel during the off season. For me, I often prefer the off-season because there are fewer crowds. I especially appreciate the local tour guides in each area.
