About us
The Blue-Roads way
Crafted for the curious
Imagine turning down a narrow, cobbled lane, the soft glow of dawn illuminating your window, the well-trodden tourist trail disappearing into the distance. This is where your journey begins.
Our small-group tours of the UK and Europe are crafted for the curious; for those who want more than to simply see somewhere. With us, you'll go beyond the surface and become a part of local life instead.
Hear the echoes of Roman footsteps and feel the drama of the Renaissance in Florence. Learn the secrets behind tangy Beaufort cheese in the snow-crowned French Alps. And explore medieval castles in the spellbinding Scottish Highlands, where myths whisper from every stone. There’s adventure in the quieter corners – and this is your invitation to find it.
Crafted for connection
Designed to connect you deeply with people and places, Blue-Roads tours delve into local life in a way that larger tours simply cannot. The magic ingredient? Our devoted Tour Leaders who can't wait to share the stories (and secrets!) of the places they call home. Transforming your curiosity into something truly special, these local experts breathe life into the land with their personal touches and recommendations.
Whether it’s discovering Gothic tales of Dracula hidden within the cellars of Bran Castle, finding the best pub to join a lively Céilí in Galway or revealing a secluded spot to watch the sun set across a bronzed vineyard in Burgundy – our Tour Leaders turn moments into memories.
Crafted by the experts
Immersive small-group tours are our specialty – in fact, it’s all we do. We’ve been honing our craft for almost 40 years (we’ve got the smile lines to prove it!), weaving together thoughtful journeys that put you at the heart of every experience. Your personal tale of discovery is what drives us – that's why our tours unfold at a pace that allows you to uncover the soul of each and every place.
Your insider guide to Europe
When we explore the back roads, we reveal something different – experiencing Europe not as a spectator, but as an insider.
