Specialising in tailored, small group and individual tours,
including major cultural events, in Europe and Russia.

So, why choose Imperial Holidays to organize your next trip to Europe?

Small Groups: And we do mean small – the maximum number for each group is 12 and each holiday has a guaranteed departure providing there are at least two guests. The result is a much more up close exchange; you are always near to the action and can always hear what the guide is saying; there is much more flexibility with small numbers and often we can avoid long queues to enter the major sights. For groups of 10 – 12 there will be a tour leader accompanying the group. All our groups will have an experienced, English-speaking local guide and interpreter.

Your Comfort is Important: Imperial Holidays ensures that your experience will be just that - a holiday; so there are built in rest times for you to explore on your own, see that extra special place, sleep in, shop, or just relax and soak up the atmosphere. Our programs are designed to be hassle-free; unpack just once on most of our holidays and stay a while in central first class locations; there is private daily transport – pick up and drop off at the hotel lobby, including transfers to and from special evening performances. You will be spoilt as you holiday in style and comfort.

Meals: almost all are included: One of the great joys of holidaying in foreign countries is to indulge your taste buds with the local and international cuisine in world class restaurants. Whether it is lunch in the Tea Pavilion of the extraordinary Yussupov Palace; authentic fish dinner at a cliff top restaurant overlooking the Black Sea at Nesebar in Bulgaria; or dinner and folkloric show in Bucharest, elegant dining is a specialty on our programs. All breakfasts, special welcome and farewell dinners and several lunches are included in the costs.

Destinations: Imperial Holidays began with a focus on Russia and particularly St Petersburg, Finland and the Baltics. At this stage, exciting destinations also include the Black Sea; the Mediterranean; Ukraine and the Crimea, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey; and Europe’s Imperial capitals.

A feature of Imperial Holidays is its focus on major Cultural Events in Europe. These include the Budapest Opera Ball; the Imperial New Year’s Eve Ball in St Petersburg; the White Nights Festival in St Petersburg; and a tour of the great Art Galleries in Amsterdam, St Petersburg, Prague, Paris, London. Our itineraries include the standards and the must-sees but also add bonus stops of particular interest that other tour groups drive past as shown in the detailed itineraries which follow.

Imperial Holidays Inclusions: Check the itineraries to see just how much is included in our programs. Whether it is a Classical Performance of ballet, opera or symphony; a cruise along the city’s canals; a visit to a private castle in Prague; folkloric entertainment over dinner; the ‘Whirling Dervishes” in Istanbul; the Imperial Dinner Train in Vienna; Five Nightly Performances at the White Nights Festival; or just special dinners in remarkable settings; it is all included in the costs.

Personalised programs for individuals or groups can be arranged for whichever European destination you choose. Just let us know the places you want to visit and when you would like to travel. All holidays are guaranteed to go ahead provided there are at least two travellers.  

Flexibility: Prices quoted include only the land section of the holiday programs and you have the flexibility of arranging your own flights, so you can arrive earlier and settle in; stay a little longer; or arrange for extra stopovers in either direction. Of course we can offer group flight arrangements if required. We recommend Finnair as an ideal carrier for travellers using the services of Imperial Holidays.
