Rabbie's (www.rabbies.com), a company believing in responsible tourism, is offering bespoke tours throughout Europe this summer.

Stuck at home, we are all dreaming of European sunshine and culture and nowhere exemplifies this more than the romance of the Mediterranean.

Scottish-based Rabbie's is well-known for showcasing the varied beauty of the UK and Ireland and is looking forward to providing its guests with the same local knowledge throughout Europe.

While the scheduled tour program offers space with a maximum of 16 passengers, the tour operator can cater for any group size – from 2 to 200 - with its private itineraries. A private tour becomes a viable and affordable option surprisingly fast - so, gather up the family or your bubble of friends!

A tour personally tailored for each guest's interests offers a unique blend of well-known highlights and hidden gems away from the hustle and bustle. Visit Spain, Portugal, Switzerland or Italy – or any other destination in Europe - and hear fascinating stories, savour the excellent food and drink and take in the fabulous views with an expert-led private tour.

Let the Rabbie's team work its magic to create the perfect itinerary for you. From staying in a castle, to tasting local food in a little trattoria, staying in the heart of a historical city, or strolling on a deserted beach - Rabbie's has your dream trip covered.

Grab your passport and discover the best Europe has to offer. Rabbie's runs all its tours with excellent green credentials.

For inspiration, here are just some of Rabbie's private tour itineraries:

Indulge in history and charm on the Iberian Peninsula

The Portuguese and Spanish differ on many things but what unites them is their deep passion for their nations and the vivid connections to their ancestors. On a tour of the Iberian Peninsula, soak up the beauty and tradition of ancient Europe, explore the cities of Salamanca and Porto or the vistas of Las Médulas and Costa de Morte. After a long day of walking down the Portuguese white-washed cobbled streets of Óbidos, indulge in a drink of Ginjinha d'Óbidos - a sweet liqueur served in a chocolate cup. Likewise, once you reach Cape Finisterre, sample the local seafood as you look out at the furthermost edge of ancient Europe. At the end of this tour, the humdrum of modern-day life will feel a million miles away from the culture, cuisine and hospitality experienced throughout Portugal and Spain.

From unforgettable beaches to awe-inspiring volcanos: Italy has something for everyone.

Each region in Italy has its own distinctive charm and beauty and a Rabbie's tour will allow you to fall in love with all of them. Working your way down the boot-shaped country, swim next to the pastel-hued villages perched on the rugged coast of Cinque Terre and sunbathe alongside celebrities on the luxurious Amalfi Coast. Before you enjoy an Aperol Spritz in Florence, be sure to catch the world-renowned renaissance art or picture the ancient civilisations of Pompeii in this country full to the brim with history and culture. By the end of the tour, you are sure to be living La Dolce Vita and will have fallen in love with the luscious coastlines and mountain-studded landscapes awash with folklore and myths.

With increased cleaning measures, Rabbie's offers worry-free journeys so you can enjoy a European road trip without concerns.  To enquire about a private tour, email Rabbie's on explore@rabbies.com.
