Tour combinations for 2027
Some of our tours are better taken together. One picks up where the other leaves off, in history, in place or in subject.
Think of the Roman world from Rome to the Bay of Naples, or the Habsburg capitals of Vienna and Budapest. Consider two of Spain’s great modernists, Picasso and Gaudí, with the same lecturer, or a festival on the Danube followed by Wagner in Munich.
Each pairing below is scheduled with no more than a night or two in between, so the two tours form one continuous journey. Our team is happy to advise on extra nights and on travel from one tour to the next.
