22 experiences and tours in Sightseeing & City Highlights

From the canals of Amsterdam and the boulevards of Paris to the Modernist streets of Barcelona, the Golden Age heart of Madrid, the fjord-side capital of Oslo and the Roman roots of Valencia and Segovia, each of our destinations has its own unmistakable character.

City highlights tours are designed to give you the lay of the land quickly: the must-see sights, the best neighbourhoods to return to, and the local context that turns a checklist of monuments into a place you understand.

Expect a guided walk through the historic heart of the city, with stops at the famous squares, palaces and viewpoints alongside the hidden corners and local stories most visitors miss. Guides share the history, culture and everyday life behind the landmarks and point you towards good food, cafés and places to explore afterwards.

Many departures are small-group for a more personal experience, and private highlights tours are available if you prefer to set your own pace. Some experiences add a special finale, from a flamenco show to a sit-down meal.

City highlights tours run all year. Late spring and early autumn offer the most comfortable walking weather and long daylight hours; summer is lively but warm and busy, so an earlier start helps. Winter is quieter and often atmospheric, with festive lights in December, though northern cities like Oslo have short days.
