Travel France, Italy and Spain your way
Take in the picturesque landscapes and remarkable sights on a guided Coach / Bus adventure of France, Italy And Spain. There are 36 vacation packages to choose from, that range in length from 9 days up to 25 days. The most popular month for these tours is July.
The Mediterranean explorer tours really shine when you've got 13 to 15 days to work with - that's enough time to actually get under the skin of these places. Our customers tell us they love how these trips mix things up: one day you're walking through old Gothic streets with a local guide, the next you're getting your hands dirty making Venetian masks or spreading out a picnic in the French countryside. There's this great tour where you learn perfume-making secrets on the French Riviera, and another where you'll jump into proper pizza-making classes in Florence. What works so well is how you get expert guidance at major sites like Rome's Colosseum but also plenty of free time to explore - maybe finding your own path through Venice's back canals or discovering little tapas spots in Barcelona.
Select from our extensive range of 87 fully guided tours to enjoy a worry-free experience through France, Italy and Spain with our expert guides leading the way.
Our Mediterranean tours offer authentic cultural experiences that take you deeper than typical sightseeing. Travelers can cook traditional tapas alongside migrant students in Barcelona's bustling markets, discover the art of Venetian mask-making, and join welcoming Italian families for cooking lessons in their homes. A comprehensive 15-day journey weaves together guided walks through Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, perfume workshops along the French Riviera and hands-on pasta making in rustic Tuscan farmhouses. Another favorite takes you through Rome's Trastevere neighborhood with expert local guides who reveal hidden spots after the crowds disperse, then winds through Venice's quiet canals before exploring Barcelona's vibrant market culture. Our tours balance guided experiences with independent discovery - you might spend one day hiking between the pastel-hued villages of Cinque Terre, and dedicate the next to learning wine-making techniques in centuries-old cellars. These cultural journeys stand out for their authentic local connections, from participating in seasonal food festivals to visiting artisans' workshops and exploring medieval districts with resident guides who share stories passed down through generations.
Discover France, Italy and Spain tours for every budget
Budget travelers can find great Mediterranean tours that pack in the essentials without high costs.

Another well-rated budget option lets you cook tapas with Barcelona locals and wander Rome's old streets after dark.

Another high-end option explores the Italian Riviera, with private access to Porto Cervo's marina and guided tours of Calvi's historical spots. These voyages can slip into smaller ports like Mahón in Menorca, and customers love exploring places like Marseille's Le Panier district with expert local guides who know every hidden corner.

How long should I plan to really experience these countries?
Two weeks gives you a good taste of the major spots but three weeks? That's when you can really breathe and explore. Some travelers go for a full month to really get into local life. Our Mediterranean Flavors tour runs 14 days and hits that sweet spot balancing Spain France and Italy without feeling rushed. You get to see everything important while still having time to actually enjoy it.
Where can I find real local experiences away from tourist crowds?
You'll love Girona which we feature in our Magical Barcelona France and Italy tour - it's got this incredible authentic Catalan vibe. Then there's Arles where Van Gogh found his inspiration it really shows you true Provençal life. Collioure's this gorgeous artistic town right on the French-Spanish border that most tourists miss. These places still have all the culture but without the crowds you get at major attractions.
What local food absolutely can't I miss and where do I find it?
In Spain you've got to try authentic paella in Valencia - the saffron rice is incredible. Barcelona's tapas scene is amazing for trying lots of small dishes especially at local bars. Our London to Rome tour folks loved learning to make tapas themselves in Barcelona. Italy's all about regional pasta - try Roman carbonara or Cinque Terre's pesto trofie. And France? Get ready for amazing cheese boards and regional wines that'll blow your mind.
