What is an Expert Local Guide? It goes without saying, but we think a true local guide knows the region from experience—not a guidebook.

They love to share their corner of the world with you, so you walk away with a true feeling and understanding for newly discovered destinations.

Discovery Excursions
FOR THE DOER.
An awakening for the senses, Avalon’s Discovery excursions present heartwarming, brain-tingling, hands-on adventure. Pull up a chair to hear a Viennese waltz, roll up your sleeves to paint like Van Gogh, or grab an apron to whip up a local delicacy.
Classic Excursions
FOR THE DREAMER.
Nothing beats the classics! Avalon’s Classic excursions put you in the story with timeless tales on guided tours in iconic cities, capitals, and castles. Skip the lines while your heart skips a beat in the rooms where history happened.
