70 EUROPE › MULTI-COUNTRY CLASSIC & G-PLUS TOURING Europe, your way We see travel as a way to get up-close and personal with the planet and the people who live there, wherever there is. That said, "up-close and personal" doesn't necessarily have to mean "sleeping in a haystack on the floor of a barn on a rustic Provençal farm." (Although, admittedly, that would be pretty awesome.) Expecting a little more than the bare bones from your European adventure shouldn't diminish the authenticity of the experience. We think it's important that you get the most out of your adventures in Europe. Our Classic and G-Plus programs offer every traveller a degree of coziness and convenience that fits with their budget. Just want the best adventure possible? Go Classic. Want the best adventure possible… with a softer landing? Go G-Plus. FIND YOUR FIT: CLASSIC VS G-PLUS Close-knit groups Our approach to group travel is a little different than other travel companies. We deliberately keep our group sizes small to keep things personal and eliminate the feeling that you're being herded around like cattle. Classic and G-Plus trips average roughly 12 travellers per departure. Top-flight accommodations We've always believed that a hotel is more than a place to rest your head for the night. On every trip, we seek out the most authentic and comfortable lodgings we can find that reflect the local character and spirit of your surroundings. Classic trips feature reasonably priced hotels and accommodations, while G-Plus trips are a little more upscale and can range from rural inns to accommodations with a few more amenities. Delectable edibles Great meals are an essential part of any complete trip to Europe. You can expect quality meals prepared with local flair and fresh ingredients on every Classic trip, as well as opportunities to explore the local flavours on your own. G-Plus trips offer more included meals at top tables with a few unscheduled mealtimes on your own. You can barely move on this continent without tripping over a restaurant or bistro, but if you're stuck, your CEO always has suggestions. Balanced itineraries Each itinerary has been meticulously designed to keep you occupied but never rushed. You'll hit all the must-visit highlights as well as secluded villages, idyllic vineyards and all manner of out-of-the-way secrets the locals keep to themselves. TOP Pictured: Santorini at sunrise.
