How It Works
How Tailor-Made Tours Work
You tell us your preferred travel dates, the countries and cities you want to visit, your travel style (pace, type of experiences, hotel level), and your approximate budget. A Discovery Escapes travel specialist designs a detailed day-by-day itinerary within 24–48 hours — including specific hotels, guides, transport, and optional experiences.
You review the itinerary, request changes, and confirm with a €100 deposit per person. Your hotels, guides, trains, and all timed entry are then booked and confirmed. Discovery Escapes has designed tailor-made European itineraries for over 900 travelers — from a couple's first Europe trip to a 25-day circuit through 8 countries for a group of 12.

Traveler Reviews
What Tailor-Made Travelers Say
★★★★★
"We've never travelled this way before and we'll never travel any other way again. The Discovery Escapes team designed the exact Italy and Greece itinerary we'd been imagining for years and delivered it flawlessly. Every single guide was exceptional."
10-Day Tailor-Made Tour
★★★★★
"The consultation process was impressively fast — we described what we wanted, they came back with a detailed 12-day itinerary within 24 hours, and it was nearly perfect on the first revision. The Alhambra at dawn before the crowds was exactly what we'd hoped for."
12-Day Tailor-Made Tour
★★★★★
"We had a complex 14-day itinerary request — London, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Athens, Santorini — and Discovery Escapes designed and executed it without a single problem. The private guides throughout made it feel like we had a knowledgeable friend in every city."
14-Day Tailor-Made Tour
★★★★★
"My husband is an archaeologist and I was worried a standard tour would feel too superficial. Discovery Escapes found a specialist guide in Rome who was literally an expert in exactly the period my husband researches. That doesn't happen on a group tour."
9-Day Tailor-Made Tour
★★★★★
"Solo travel in Europe at 60 — Discovery Escapes designed the ideal tailor-made itinerary for one person: central hotels, a guide every day, and exactly the pace I wanted. I've now done four tailor-made tours with them."
Multiple Custom Tours
★★★★★
"The best thing about a tailor-made tour is that the itinerary is built around what you actually want to do, not what's convenient for a group. We wanted a private Tuscany wine day from Florence and an early morning Vatican — both happened perfectly."

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you design a tailor-made Europe itinerary?
Discovery Escapes responds to all tailor-made enquiries within 24–48 hours with a detailed day-by-day itinerary and price proposal. Most itineraries are finalised within 1–2 rounds of revisions. For travel within the next 30 days, a rush design service is available.
Can I mix countries in a tailor-made itinerary?
Yes — this is one of the primary reasons travelers choose a tailor-made tour. The most popular custom combinations include Italy and Greece, Spain and Portugal, France and Italy, the western Europe grand tour (London, Paris, Rome), and the Mediterranean arc (Barcelona, Nice, Rome, Athens, Santorini).
What is the difference between a tailor-made tour and a private tour?
In Discovery Escapes terminology, all tailor-made tours can be either small group tours when you only meet a guide on sightseeing tours or also private — designed for your group only, with no other travelers added. A tailor-made tour specifically refers to the design process: a custom itinerary built from scratch rather than a modification of an existing tour.
Can I upgrade hotels to 5-star on a tailor-made tour?
Yes — 5-star hotel upgrades are available for any city on any tailor-made tour. The most requested upgrades: the Hotel de Russie in Rome, the Hotel d'Angleterre in Paris, the Grande Bretagne in Athens, and a cliff-side suite in Santorini. Contact us for specific upgrade pricing.
