Evan Evans Tours — London & European Sightseeing

Evan Evans Tours is one of the world’s leading sightseeing tour operators, specialising in guided tours of London and day trips to the UK’s most famous destinations — Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, Oxford, Cambridge, the Cotswolds and more. They also offer European sightseeing tours and are particularly popular with visitors to the UK who want to make the most of their time here with an expert guide.

If you’re visiting the UK from abroad, or if you want a guided tour experience of London and the surrounding sights, Evan Evans is a brilliant and very well-regarded option.

Sun, Sea & Sand

Sometimes you just want guaranteed sunshine, a beautiful beach and a pool to lie beside. The most popular beach holiday destinations for UK travellers include Spain, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, Turkey and Southern France — all offering warm weather, great food and a wonderful range of accommodation from budget apartments to luxury all-inclusive resorts.

For beach holidays abroad we recommend searching through a reputable UK travel agent or tour operator who can package flights, transfers and accommodation together — often the best value way to book.

Explore Europe’s Great Cities

A European city break is one of the most rewarding short holiday experiences you can have — and from the UK they’re often surprisingly quick and easy to reach. Two or three nights in Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Prague, Lisbon, Vienna, Budapest or Berlin can feel like a proper adventure without needing a long journey or lots of time off work. Great food, world-class museums, stunning architecture, brilliant shopping and that wonderful feeling of being completely immersed in a different culture.

Escape the Grey — Winter Sun Destinations

When the UK weather is at its most grey and miserable — usually between November and March — the appeal of winter sun is hard to resist. The Canary Islands are the classic choice, offering warm temperatures year-round within a four-hour flight. Madeira, Cyprus, Southern Spain, Portugal, Egypt and Morocco are also popular winter escapes that offer sunshine without needing to travel too far.

Family Holidays — Things to Consider

Family holidays abroad need a bit more planning than adult breaks — but get the planning right and they can be the most wonderful and memorable experiences your family will share. Key things to think about include flight time (shorter is better for young children), transfer time from the airport, pool safety, children’s clubs and activities, beach proximity and food options. Travel insurance is absolutely essential for family holidays — don’t travel without it.

Cruise Holidays

Cruising has become one of the most popular forms of holiday for UK travellers — and it’s easy to see why. You unpack once, visit multiple destinations, have all your meals and entertainment included and wake up somewhere new each morning. Mediterranean cruises are particularly popular from UK ports, but river cruises through Europe, Caribbean cruises and world cruises all have dedicated followings. If you’ve never tried a cruise before, many people who try it once become hooked.
