On top of that, budget for travel insurance, tips, spending money and a Schengen visa if you travel on an Indian passport.

Is airfare included? What the tour price covers
Every Akshar Travels Europe tour is a land package. You travel by coach with an Akshar tour manager and stay in hotels on a twin sharing basis. International flights, visa fees, travel insurance and personal expenses are not included on any of them, so the flight is always its own line in your budget.
Using Icons of Europe as the example, the tour price includes:
- Hotels for the whole tour, twin sharing, with hotel city taxes paid.
- Coach travel from Paris to Rome and an Akshar tour manager with the group.
- Continental breakfast every day.
- Lunches and dinners with the group at Indian restaurants where available along the route. Day 1 is dinner only and the departure day is breakfast only. There is a packed lunch on the coach day from Paris to Geneva and a mountain lunch at Glacier 3000.
- Entry fees for the sights in the day plan, with local English speaking guides at the main sights.
- One scheduled group arrival transfer in Paris and one departure transfer in Rome.
It does not include tips for the tour manager, guide and driver, drinks with meals, or optional tours. The main option on this tour is a Disneyland Paris day on day 3. The airport transfer is one scheduled group transfer at each end, so book flights that fit it, or ask us about the timing before you buy your tickets.

Icons of Europe, 11 days
Five countries: France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and Italy, with Venice reached by private boat. It is the only one of the three with an open price right now, and it has 19 departures listed. The next is 15 April 2027, followed by 28 April, 1 May, 15 May, 15 June and 30 June 2027, with more after that.
European Highlights, 10 days
This one goes north before it goes south. Paris includes the Eiffel Tower to the second level, a Seine cruise and Versailles. Then Brussels, Keukenhof (until 10 May) or Madurodam, and a canal cruise in Amsterdam. Mt. Titlis is included, and Jungfraujoch is an option on day 6. European Highlights shows no open departures on the site right now, so ask us for the next date and price.
Exclusive Europe, 11 days
France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. Paris includes the Eiffel Tower top level, Versailles, a Disneyland Paris day and a Seine cruise. In Switzerland you get Jungfraujoch, Mt. Titlis, a Lake Lucerne cruise and a boat ride at Rhine Falls. Then Swarovski, Innsbruck and a gondola in Venice. Hotels are 4 star, groups go up to 40 guests, and tips for the coach drivers are included. Exclusive Europe also shows no open departures right now, so ask us for the next date and price.
When you compare tours, compare the inclusions as well as the price. Disneyland Paris is an included day on Exclusive Europe and an option on Icons of Europe. Jungfraujoch is included on Exclusive Europe and optional on European Highlights. Those differences show up later as spending money.
What a Europe tour costs by trip length
Days alone do not set the price. Sound of Swiss runs 8 days and starts higher than the 11 day Icons of Europe. Its next departure is 10 April 2027. The 9 day Christmas departure covers Paris, Disneyland, Amsterdam, Jungfraujoch and Mt. Titlis, from $3,828.
Fascinating Europe is the shorter option if you only want Paris and Switzerland. In 8 days it covers the Eiffel Tower top level, Disneyland Paris, Jungfraujoch, Mt. Titlis, Lindt and Rhine Falls, with six Indian lunches and seven Indian dinners. Icons of Europe starts $31 higher and adds three days, Austria and Italy, with a different set of Swiss stops.
At 13 days, European Explorer covers eight countries from Paris to Rome, includes every meal on full touring days, and includes tips of 3 euros per person per day. A tour manager travels with groups of 35 or more. It has 18 departures listed, the next on 29 April 2027.
If you want more time in Paris, we also run a separate 3 day Paris City tour that includes the BAPS Mandir, from $1,099 per person. Ask how it fits around your Europe dates.
Flights, insurance, tips and other add-ons to budget for
Flights
Our Europe tours start in Paris and end in Rome, so the ticket to look for is a multi-city one: fly into Paris, fly home from Rome. In economy for spring travel, typical public fares run roughly $700 to $1,200 per person from the East Coast and $900 to $1,500 from the West Coast. Treat that as a starting point, not a quote. Fares move with the date, the airline and the number of stops. We book flights too, so you can ask us to price the flight alongside the tour.
Travel insurance
Insurance is not included on any of our Europe tours. It is priced on age, trip cost and how much cover you choose, so get a quote for each traveler. If you need a Schengen visa, the insurance is part of the application, so buy it before your appointment.
Tips
Icons of Europe does not include tips for the tour manager, local guides or driver. Exclusive Europe includes tips for the coach drivers. European Explorer includes tips of 3 euros per person per day. Ask us what is customary on your tour so you can carry the right amount of cash.
Spending money
Plan for drinks with meals, optional tours, souvenirs and any meal outside the tour plan, such as lunch on the day you land. You will need two currencies on most of these routes: euros in France, Austria and Italy, and Swiss francs in Switzerland.
Traveling alone
Every price on our Europe tours is per person on a twin sharing basis. If you want a room to yourself, there is a single supplement. It varies by tour, so ask us for the figure on yours.
Schengen visa for Indian passport holders
US passport holders do not need a visa for a short stay in the Schengen area, which covers every country on Icons of Europe. The EU has also announced an online travel authorization called ETIAS for visa-free visitors. It has been delayed more than once and had not started as of November 2026, with 2027 now expected, so check its status on the EU's ETIAS page before you fly.
Indian passport holders, including parents visiting from India, need a Schengen visa.
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| Traveler | Visa for the Schengen area | Fee, as of November 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| US passport holder | None for a short stay (up to 90 days in 180). ETIAS authorization to come, not yet in force. | None today |
| Indian passport holder, adult or child 12 and over | Schengen visa, applied for at the consulate of the country where you spend the most nights | 90 euros plus the visa center's service fee |
| Indian passport holder, child aged 6 to 12 | Schengen visa | 45 euros plus the service fee |
| Indian passport holder, child under 6 | Schengen visa | No visa fee; the service fee may apply |
The visa center adds its own service fee on top of the EU fee. You apply to the consulate of the country where you spend the most time on the trip, no earlier than six months and at least 15 days before you travel. The application also needs travel medical insurance. The current rules are on the European Commission's Schengen visa page. If anyone in your group needs one, tell us when you ask for a quote so the tour date leaves room for the appointment.
When to book a Europe group tour
The "from" price is the lowest price on a tour. Your exact date may price differently, so ask for the number on the date you want. For comparison, the 9 day Christmas tour starts at $3,828.
Prices can change until the booking is paid in full, so the price is fixed once you have paid, not when you place the deposit. A deposit confirms your seat. These are the cancellation terms on our tour pages.
| Cancellation received | Charge |
|---|---|
| 50 days or more before departure | 30% of the tour price |
| 21 to 49 days before departure | 50% |
| 20 days or less before departure | 100% |
Some seasonal stops also decide the date for you. On European Highlights, the Keukenhof tulip gardens are only open until 10 May. If anyone in your group needs a Schengen visa, work back from the visa as well: applications open six months before travel, close 15 days before, and you may need to book an appointment first.
Two of our three 10 and 11 day tours show no open departures right now. For spring 2027, Sound of Swiss starts 10 April, Icons of Europe 15 April and European Explorer 29 April.

Here is what each tour lists for meals.

The more meals a tour includes, the fewer you pay for on the road. Count them when you compare prices.
