We organise tours to the European Parliaments in both Brussels & Strasbourg for 5 of the Irish M.E.P’s. We then organise a tour around this visit and usually take in another country with this. Examples of these tours are to The Rhineland & Brussels, which is a 5 day tour having 2 nights in Cologne and 2 nights in Brussels with tours of the cities, a cruise along the River Rhine and much more. An approximate cost of this tour is €450 per person sharing – this price is so low as they are subsidised by the European Parliament.
Another example is when travelling to Strasbourg, we take in Paris, Baden Baden, Strasbourg & Heidelberg. This is usually a 6 day tour with 2 nights in Paris, 2 nights in Baden Baden and 1 night in Heidelberg, with tours of the cities, a visit to the spas in Baden Baden, a cruise on the River Seine and much more. This tour usually costs approx €495 per person sharing.
All tours have 50 people travelling and are escorted by an experienced member of our staff. We use only 4 star hotels in central locations and our coaches are of an excellent standard which are with you for the duration of the tours.
