Discover France was among the first tour operators to introduce self-guided cycling tours and later expanded to offer self-guided walking tours in France and Europe. These tours were designed with the goal of providing seamless travel experiences without the constraints of a guide or rigid schedules. This innovative approach has proven highly successful, as evidenced by the satisfaction of over 40,000 travelers who have enjoyed these tours over the past 30 years.
Our self-guided European tours are perfect for independent travelers seeking the freedom to explore at their own pace. These tours provide detailed itineraries, including carefully chosen routes, accommodations, and points of interest, so you can focus on enjoying your adventure. Whether you’re cycling through the vineyards of Burgundy, walking along the cliffs of Amalfi, or exploring the historic towns of Portugal, our tours allow you to discover Europe on your own terms.
The beauty of self-guided tours of Europe lies in the balance they offer between independence and organization. You’re free to linger at a café, take a detour to explore a hidden gem, or spend extra time at a site that captures your interest. At the same time, our thorough planning ensures that your trip runs smoothly, with detailed maps, recommendations, and local support to assist you when needed.
These tours cater to a variety of interests and activity levels, making them ideal for solo travelers, couples, and small groups. Whether you prefer leisurely walking tours, challenging bike rides, or a mix of activities, our self-guided options offer something for everyone. From the sunlit trails of Provence to the scenic coastlines of Ireland, every journey is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the unique culture, history, and landscapes of Europe.
Discover why our self-guided European tours have been a favorite among travelers for decades. Experience the joy of exploring Europe with the freedom to create your own adventure, supported by expert planning and local knowledge.
