What is Europe With Friends?
Europe With Friends is a small group travel company specializing in immersive, stress-free European experiences. With 20 years of exploration, adventure, and firsthand travel knowledge, we’ve designed trips that take the hassle out of planning while giving you the freedom to fully enjoy each moment. Maybe you’ve dreamed of traveling to Europe but find yourself stuck in the cycle of research, endless itineraries, and logistical headaches. We get it. We’ve always enjoyed the thrill of planning, but we also understand that not everyone has the time, energy, or confidence to put together a trip that feels effortless and immersive. That’s where we come in.
Our guided small group tours are perfect for first-time European travelers who want expert guidance and a smooth experience, as well as seasoned explorers who appreciate a thoughtfully curated itinerary without the stress of planning.
We don’t want you to come home with just a list of landmarks you managed to squeeze into a week. We want you to return with stories. Stories about the people you met in a lively pub, the meal you ate that you still can’t stop thinking about, the quiet moments where you simply stood still and took it all in. Because travel should change you. It should leave you refreshed, inspired, and ready for more.
This is our passion, and we invite you to be part of it. Come walk everywhere, talk to everyone, and eat everything. The world is waiting.
About Alex & Amy
Some people ease into travel. For us, it was all or nothing from the start. When I met Amy, it didn’t take long to see that I had found someone who was just as excited to see the world as I was. Just a month into dating, I asked her to join me on a trip to Florida. Three months in, I threw out an even bigger invitation—how about a wedding in Australia at the end of the year? It was an expensive leap of faith with someone I had only just met, but we took that leap together. And we haven’t stopped since.
Over the years, our journeys have been shaped by friendships—some lifelong, some formed in the most unexpected places. Friends have inspired so many of my travels. Not to mimic their trips, but to capture that same thrill of discovering new cultures, tasting unfamiliar foods, and connecting with as many of the 8 billion people on this planet as I possibly can. Travel, at its best, isn’t about checking off landmarks. It’s about the moments that stick with you forever—the conversations in a tucked-away café, the way the light hits a centuries-old street at sunset, the unexpected kindness of strangers.
