Discover the Albatross Difference
Our tours are designed with a more leisurely pace to suit the travel needs of Australian and New Zealanders
Albatross Tours have created tours specifically for people like you travelling to the far side of the world, and wanting more from their escorted coach tour than a few hurried, all too brief visits and repetitive, long intercity drives. That is why we ensure the touring pace is always so much more sensible! Longer stays in each destination provide you with far more time for sightseeing, and a more fulfilling overall touring experience. That is also why we make sure each tour is genuinely inclusive, with no hidden, later charged extras. We know Australians and New Zealanders can be uneasy with tipping, so we have included all ‘on tour’ gratuities and end of tour tips.
We include two, three, four and even five night stays in each captivating city and region. One night stops are avoided where possible, and some days are left completely free – for the simple pleasure of it!
Our programmes are always packed with numerous included sightseeing excursions and extras, but we still ensure you have quality leisure time to relax and savour your surroundings.
Less Travelling Time – More Sightseeing and Relaxing
Everybody hates unpacking their bags every evening, and then having to re-pack them again early the next morning. That is why, apart from possibly the first or last night of the tour, there are no ‘one night stops’ on any of our programmes. None! Instead, we make sure our tours always have a much more sensible pace by including two, three, four and even five night stays in each captivating city or region.
Yes, our programmes are always packed with numerous included sightseeing excursions and extras, but we still ensure you have quality leisure time to relax and savour your surroundings. We have even left some days completely free – for the simple pleasure of it!
We strongly urge you to compare our average daily driving distances with those of any other similar tours on the market! You will be amazed at the significant difference, and that difference equates to your valuable time not being wasted!
Albatross Tours offer genuinely inclusive tours!
You will never receive an “optional excursions” list, and therefore you will not have to pay your Tour Manager, at the start of your tour, for these ‘extras’. Unlike most escorted tour companies, we have already included all those special excursions and visits, sightseeing tours and feature dinners. We believe these expensive, hidden extras (usually costing well over $100 per person per day) are entirely predictable, so we have included them in our upfront tour price. This means you will find it far easier to budget for your daily holiday expenses, and you will have complete transparency on where your money goes!
We even include ‘end of tour’ tips to your Tour Manager and Driver, so there are no awkward moments at the end of the tour.
There is complete clarity in all of our itineraries. We urge you to compare our tour prices on a cost per day basis, and take into consideration that Albatross Tours have NO hidden, locally paid extras.
Albatross Tours offer exceptional VALUE FOR MONEY!
Smaller group sizes - a maximum of 30 passengers on our European Summer Tours!*
Our smaller, more personal group sizes mean less time wasted getting on and off the coach and there are always a noticeable number of extra spare seats. Plus, a more manageable group size leads to a higher level of personal service. Above all, you can enjoy a much more authentic European travel experience because, with much smaller groups we can select hotels for their style, character and location – hotels that larger tour groups often cannot consider staying in.
In fact our average group size is only around 24 passengers! Our smaller, more personal group sizes mean less time wasted getting on and off the coach, there are always a number of extra spare seats, plus a more manageable group size leads to a higher level of personal service.
* Christmas and ANZAC tours are limited to 40 passengers.
