Themed tours are our speciality and we relish the opportunity to operate these trips.

We offer a totally flexible service that is geared around the tour you want to offer your customers. Almost anything is possible.

Even if you just have the germ of an idea, no matter how wild and wacky, we may have already had a tour on that theme, if not our tour designers can research it and turn it into a reality for you.

A Client's Perspective:

Here’s what David Barwell of Discovery Tours has to say about his experience with Operation Europe:

‘Myself and my business partner have been bringing American metal detecting enthusiasts over to Norfolk to search for historical artefacts for over twenty years. Operation Europe have been with us from day one and without them we wouldn’t have the successful tour we have today.

They organise on our behalf:

• The accommodation including dinners, menus and function rooms; all with excellent price reductions
• Coach collection drop offs; they liaise with the drivers, reservation managers etc…
• Sightseeing itineraries; including obtaining special rates on entrance fees, guides, lunches and stop off points
• Specialist guides for a variety of venues
• Airport transfers
• Currency exchange at commercial rates
• Payment to hotels, the coach company our staff etc… on our behalf
• Public liability insurance
• VAT payments

Essentially they make delivering a professional tour a possibility for a small, niche operator like Discovery Tours.’
