Castle tours

Strolling through manicured gardens. Sipping tea in a soaring hall. Sleeping beneath centuries-old beams. The daydream is good—but waking up in a castle is better. Let us transport you to a bygone era on one of our guided Castle Tours in Europe, complete with overnight stays in castles, manors, and estates.

Sleeping in grand castles

Most trips let you admire castles momentarily. On these, you’ll stay the night, settling in among the ramparts and elegant halls.

Lapping up leisurely days

Take your afternoon tea in a soaring hall, dine by firelight beneath portraits and chandeliers, and stroll manicured grounds.

Diving deep into stories

Your Tour Director and local guides share all the local lore, family histories, and enduring intrigue that make castles so alluring.

Kilkenny Castle with grey stone walls and circular towers stands behind a manicured green lawn with flower beds and a spraying fountain. Large trees flank both sides of the castle, and stone steps lead up to the central entrance.

Exploring private playgrounds

Relax in elegant gardens, cycle along sweeping coastlines, and wander through lush forests.

A true highlight was ending the trip at the stunning Cabra Castle in County Cavan. It felt like stepping into a fairy tale, and the atmosphere was magical.
