Just five days of PTO can take you very far on our expertly crafted Weeklong Tours—and we’re here to help you pick the right one for you. Want to choose from our new Unpack Once Collection and use one city as your home base for a week of slower exploration? Or prefer to sweep through a selection of bucket-listers on our Multi-City Tours? You don’t need much time to see it all on a one-week trip—you just need the right itinerary led by the right people. (That’s us!)

What makes weeklong travel different

Why one-week trips work for today’s traveler

A dream trip isn’t defined by how many travel days you have—it’s about how fully you live each moment. Cue: our intentionally crafted Weeklong Tours. These maximized trips fit within nine days or fewer, meaning you only need a week of PTO, pet care, or postponed play dates with your grandkids to check off your dream destination. Whether you explore one city deeply with our Unpack Once Collection or hop between a few on our Multi-City Tours, your week away will be one for the books.

Settle in and explore one city deeply for a week

Spend a week in your dream city with our Unpack Once Collection

On these new itineraries, you’ll unpack once and turn iconic cities like Paris, Rome, or Amsterdam into your home base for a week of slower, more regional exploration—more free time included. Settle in to discover that sometimes, going further starts by staying put (especially when our local experts are there to lead the way in their home cities).

  • One hotel as your home base: Staying in one hotel for the duration of your trip (in the city center, no less!) means less packing and unpacking—and more time soaking in each moment. Unpack only once on your eight-day Paris vacation or your one-week trip to Rome, and then visit like you live there.
  • Time to get into a routine: Staying put in one city gives you the chance to settle into the daily rhythm. By the time you leave, you’ll have a favorite local spot and your hotel’s neighborhood will feel like home.
  • Deeper cultural connections: Even the most iconic cities have corners that only locals know about, and settling into one dream city with an expert who lives there means digging into those insider moments. They know the best things to do during a week in Dublin or a week in Barcelona, for example, and can help you make the most of your time.
  • The option to easily go beyond the city: Looking for things to do in London during a weeklong visit, for example? Use your ample free time to discover deeper pockets of the English capital—or add optional excursions to go beyond the city limits to places like Stonehenge and Salisbury with our experts.
  • Freedom to explore at your own pace: Having the perfect balance of guided and free time means you can check off the bucket list sites with us, and then follow your own interests during free days. So, that might mean being moved by the Anne Frank House on our A Week in Amsterdam tour, and then strolling through Vondelpark during a free afternoon.

See a handful of bucket list spots in a week—without the stress

Stay on the go for a week on our Multi-City Tours

Think of our weeklong Multi-City Tours as nine-day city samplers, where you experience the best of a few iconic spots (like Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville). Soak up the bucket list sites—and be back to work the following week with the best travel stories ever.

  • A faster-paced journey for more discovery: Staying on the go on trips like our A Week in Egypt: Giza, Nile River Cruise & Cairo tour means hitting more must-see highlights as you take a broad sweep through an entire country, a few countries, or a whole region.
  • The chance to compare iconic cites: Multi-city trips (like our A Week in Italy: Venice, Florence & Rome tour) bring you to a handful of unforgettable spots in a week—and trust us, it’ll be hard to pick a favorite.
  • Seamless logistics handled by our experts: Maximizing a short-and-sweet trip takes plenty of careful planning. We’ve designed the perfect trip flow (and will whisk you from place to place on a private motor coach) so that you can get the most out of your one-week trip.
  • Insider access to easily see the highlights: We know about the iconic spots and hidden gems, take care of tickets, and bring you to the front of the line—which means you won’t miss a trick as you explore. Discover just how much you can see with us on our A Week in Switzerland: Lake Geneva, Swiss Alps & Ticino tour, for example.
