Good food and wine help to make a good holiday great. Luckily, first-rate meals are par for the course on the luxury tours listed below, ideal for solo travellers from the UK.

France is a foodie destination par excellence. Cities such as Paris, Lyon, Nice and Bordeaux teem with world-class restaurants, while winery tours are offered in multiple regions from the Rhone Valley to the Champagne region, often as part of walking, cultural and historical trips. Food is an important element of many premium walking tours in France, such as the all-inclusive Tour du Mont Blanc Trek, on which hikers are rewarded for their exertions amid the resplendent Alpine scenery with stays in comfortable hotels serving top-quality local cuisine and wine.

You might also consider one of our 5-star river cruises on the Danube. Besides admiring the rich architectural heritage of cities along the river and the stunning scenery of the Iron Gates, Europe’s largest gorge, you can take culinary walking tours of Budapest and Vienna. Hotspots in the Hungarian capital include Central Market Hall, a cathedral of Hungarian food, and Strudel House, a family restaurant dedicated to traditional Hungarian cuisine and strudel-making.

Deluxe tours come with an assurance of comfort and excellent dining, whether as part of an all-inclusive package or at restaurants recommended by your experienced guide. Browse our full range of premium holidays today to treat yourself to the 5-star break you deserve.
