Whilst we may be best known for taking the most discerning travellers to more exotic destinations, we also pride ourselves on bringing new perspectives to places you already know and love, and many of these are in Europe.
Discover the great cities of France and Italy; the soaring alpine peaks of Austria, Switzerland and the Caucasus; the bewitching islands of Greece and Croatia and the ancient landscapes of Turkey; the sundrenched villages of Spain and Portugal and the charming waterways of the Netherlands and Belgium. There are historic monuments around every corner, breathtaking landscapes and rich culinary secrets just waiting to be discovered.
A&K’s journeys in Europe, whether a tailor-made adventure or a small group itinerary, are designed at a leisurely and more authentic pace, where your encounters are more likely to be with locals than with other travellers, and where — if you’re lucky — you’ll have an adventure. With the benefit of A&K’s local knowledge and contacts, you can skirt the crowds and queues and enjoy exclusive and outside-hours access to palaces, museums and basilica, dining in splendid villas and ancient cellars, with private audiences and performances, all far from the madding crowd.
An A&K journey through Europe delivers authentic, inspiring experiences beyond the usual tourist haunts. While other tour operators subcontract their services from continents away, we have 8 offices throughout Europe staffed by individuals who live and work every day in the very areas you visit.
It is often said that a guide can make or break a special journey. We agree. A&K’s guides in Europe are world’s best, handpicked for their cultural and historical expertise ensuring you experience the continent’s best known, and also lesser known, areas in depth. In many European locations these guides are supported by our unique team of Guardian Angels who ensure your requirements are fully met.
When luxury is what you’re looking for, there’s no reason to settle for second-best. Our local experts in Europe choose only the very best city hotels, boutique inns, private hideaways and river cruisers to perfectly match your personal needs and expectations. Be it an undisputed local favourite, a feature on the Condé Nast Traveler Gold List or a whispered secret with locational advantages and abundant atmosphere, you’re guaranteed a memorable stay.
Conservation and philanthropy have been integral parts of A&K’s operations for decades, long before they became de rigueur for other operators. Working hand-in-hand with locals, Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy funds conservation and education projects which you are invited to visit during your European journey.
