The grand European tour, sorted from start to Schengen
For so many Bangalore families and couples, Europe is the once-in-a-lifetime trip — the Eiffel Tower at dusk, a cog-train climbing into the snow-dusted Swiss Alps, a gondola gliding through a Venetian canal, Rome's ancient streets warm underfoot. A classic multi-country tour stitches France, Switzerland and Italy (and often the Netherlands or Austria) into one seamless journey, so you wake up in a different postcard every few days.
What makes it feel effortless is the planning behind it. From the Schengen visa paperwork to airport transfers, comfortable coaches, hand-picked hotels and a tour manager who speaks your language, we handle the moving parts so you simply soak it all in. Since 2015 we have sent Bangalore travellers across Europe and back with stories they still tell.

Paris evenings, a Swiss mountaintop with snow in June and a Venetian gondola at golden hour — we can weave in upgraded hotels and quieter, couple-paced days.

An escorted group tour with fixed coaches, a tour manager, Indian meals and a steady pace that suits parents, children and grandparents.

End-to-end handling — visa guidance, transfers, hotels and on-ground support — so you only have to enjoy the view.
Travel tips from our team
- Apply for your Schengen visa early — at least 3–4 weeks ahead, sooner for summer travel
- Pack one warm jacket even in summer for the alpine excursions
- Carry a mix of Euros in cash and a forex card; small cafés and toilets want coins
- Wear broken-in walking shoes — European sightseeing means a lot of cobblestones
- Keep digital and printed copies of your passport, visa, insurance and hotel vouchers
- Indian vegetarians and Jain travellers are well looked after — we arrange Indian meals most days
Europe, answered
Do Indians need a visa for a Europe tour?
Yes — a short-stay Schengen Type C visa, applied through VFS Global for the embassy of your main destination, with in-person biometrics. We guide you through the documents and the application.
How much does a Schengen visa cost in 2026?
The embassy fee is €90 per adult (about ₹9,000), plus a VFS service charge of roughly ₹1,900–3,100. Children 6–11 pay €45 and under-6 are free. You also need travel insurance with at least €30,000 medical cover.
What are EES and ETIAS, and do they affect my 2026 trip?
EES is the EU's new digital Entry/Exit System, now live — it records your biometrics instead of stamping your passport. ETIAS is a separate online travel authorisation expected late 2026 and still coming, not yet required. For now, your Schengen visa is the one approval you need.
When is the best time to visit Europe?
May to September gives long, warm days with full access to the Swiss high-altitude excursions. April and October are pleasant shoulder months with milder crowds and softer prices.
How long is the flight from Bangalore to Europe?
Most travellers fly one-stop via a Gulf hub like Doha, Dubai or Abu Dhabi, reaching Paris or Zurich in roughly 11–13 hours of flying time. We arrange the most comfortable, well-timed connections.
