We are very proud of this evolution, which is based on many years of practical experience, on a profound know-how of the travel sector and on our motivated employees.
In the future, we would like to become even more service-orientated towards our clients. Optimum cooperation and support, combined with a broad yet flexible product offering are the key ingredients to continuously grow and improve. Look and see!
Our philosophy
"Booked centrally – attended on site"
Travel Europe creates your successful group travel tours all over Europe
High-quality offers, a good quality-price ratio and the best service are the cornerstones of our constantly growing company. Satisfied customers and a variety of individually customizable programs make Travel Europe one of the most successful tour operators in Europe. We constantly strive to provide our clients with a perfect service and, thanks to our 15 branch offices, we can also act on site and thus guarantee the quality of our offers. Flexibility, friendliness and well thought-out offers from charter to coach tours are the strengths of our company.
As a company that is highly interested in contributing to sustainability issues, we have been rounding out our portfolio for years with a range of train tours (especially in Scotland), as well as hiking and e-bike tours (especially in Austria). The focus on CO2-neutral mobility and soft tourism is also becoming increasingly important for group tours.
