Special Event tours

Festival tours are such a unique way to see the world—celebrating a cultural event or historical milestone brings a destination to life.

Here are just a few favorites:

Christmas Market tours in Europe

St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin

Japan’s cherry blossom season

Oktoberfest in Munich

Albuquerque Balloon Festival

Keukenhof Gardens in Amsterdam

… and more! One of our expert Tour Consultants can help pick the trip that’s right for you.

Our special events tours get you in on the excitement of seasonal celebrations and cultural happenings the world over. So, choosing where to go just depends on what kind of experience you’re hoping to enjoy.

Feeling festive? Our Christmas market and New Year’s Eve [/travel-types/new-years-eve] tours take you to some of the world’s biggest and best holiday events in Europe. If fall fun is more up your alley, you may want to travel on event tours to Oktoberfest in Munich or spend Halloween in Edinburgh. Springtime brings cherry blossoms to Japan and bright blooms to the gardens of Keukenhof outside Amsterdam—as well as plenty of revelers to the streets of Dublin for St. Patrick’s Day.

Our special event guided tours also cover cultural and historical events, such as the Passion Play in Oberammergau or World War remembrance journeys in Northern Europe. Whatever your interest, one of our expert Tour Consultants can help you narrow in on your perfect trip.
