RELAXED PACE:
We aim to provide tours that are of a slower pace – not to see 12 countries in 8 days through the windows of a coach! More three night stopovers, shorter drives and more free time to truly explore and savor the tastes of the places visited.
With our “Dalmatian Rhapsody” tour and cruise traversing only five countries in 24 days, we truly get to visit and explore in far greater depth the areas that most other tours will just “see” through the windows of the coach as they are driving past on to the next destination. This trip also includes an incredibly relaxing 7-night mini cruise thorough the Croatia islands!
On our 24-day “Splendours of Scandinavia” trip, instead of shortening the trip and having longer drives, we decided to stretch out the trip and include three internal flights. This reduces a lot of the long drive days that usually tire out the guests whee they say more-or-less the same scenery day after day.
MORE INCLUSIONS:
In our experience many people arrive on the first day of their tour not realising there are many other things they need to pay for. Unlike most other operators we also include all tips in your tour price for hotels porteage, the Tour Driver and the Tour Director.
At Quo Vadis Holidays our aim is to include many unique experiences as included in your tour price so you’re not constantly reaching into your pockets and purses to pay for hidden extra activities whilst on your holiday!
4 STAR:
Many tour operators use 3 star tourist class hotels that are on the outskirts of the cities and sometimes nowhere near the cities visited at all. At Quo Vadis Holidays our aim is to provide truly European 4 star plus hotels that are located IN the cities we visit wherever possible. We have chosen what we consider to be the best hotels with the best locations so that as much as possible you can make your way easily back to your hotel in your free-time at your own leisure without having to worry about coach pick-ups, taxis or public transport.
In the larger cities where it is physically impossible to be close to everything at the same time we carefully consider all elements of that city to choose the best of sightseeing, shopping, hotel quality and nearby local dining possibilities.
In some cases we choose higher quality over location as to be too central can sometimes also mean older hotels and noisier locations. It’s all about finding the best option in each city. In some cases we will do the reverse and choose location over quality to keep you in amongst “the action”!
At times we choose absolutely unique accommodation such as the famed and iconic glass igloos and log cabins of Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort in northern Finland or the northernmost and largest ice hotel in the world located at 70ºnorth in Alta, Norway. These are all part of our bucket-list ticking Northern Lights Trip.
