Our Story

Founded in 2020, Best Europe Tour Companies was born from a simple observation: choosing the right tour operator can make or break your European vacation. Our founders, experienced travelers who had explored every corner of Europe, recognized the need for honest, comprehensive reviews of tour companies.

What started as a small blog has grown into a trusted resource for thousands of travelers planning their European adventures. We've personally reviewed over 150 tour operators, visited countless destinations, and spoken with hundreds of travelers to bring you the most accurate and helpful information.

Our mission is to empower travelers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. We believe that everyone deserves an unforgettable European experience, whether you're traveling on a tight budget or splurging on luxury accommodations.
