Private, custom Europe trips designed around you — your dates, your pace, your cities — in hand-picked 4 and 5-star stays. IATA-certified, 15 years, 345+ five-star reviews. Planned end to end by Ms. Vipasha and our Europe desk.
Most Europe tour packages from India put you on a fixed-date coach with forty strangers and a schedule someone else chose. We don’t work that way. IMAD Travel builds private, customized Europe trips for couples, families, and friends travelling together — you pick the countries, the dates, and the comfort level, and we design the itinerary, book the deluxe-to-luxury hotels, and arrange every transfer, guide, and reservation. We plan trips from Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune and any city in India. Want a fixed-date small group with Indian food instead? We run those too.

Almost every Europe package sold in India is a fixed-date group coach tour. It’s cheaper per head, but you travel on the operator’s dates, share a bus with 40 people, and get rushed through each city. An IMAD Travel’s Europe trip is private and built for your group only. Here’s what that changes:
Couples & honeymooners.
A large share of our Europe couples are newlyweds, and we design around the two of you — slower mornings, scenic train legs, a private dinner or two. If you’re planning a honeymoon specifically, start on our dedicated Europe honeymoon packages from India page, which is built for it.
Families (including multi-generation).
We plan a lot of family Europe trips with kids and grandparents in the same group. That means walkable hotel locations, shorter daily driving, lifts not just stairs where elders are travelling, and food everyone will eat — including reliable Indian and vegetarian options (see below).
Private friends & family groups.
Travelling as a group of friends or an extended family? We keep it private to your group — your own vehicle, your own guide, your own pace — rather than mixing you with strangers. Group sizes from a couple up to 20+ handled.
Every package below is a starting point — we tailor the route, hotels, and dates to your group. Prices are land-only per person (flights arranged separately so we can serve every Indian city; more on that below).
| Europe Package | Duration | From (land-only, p.p.) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-Inclusive 19 Days Europe Travel Package | 19 days, 7 countries | ₹433,433.00 | First grand tour |
| 9 Days Scenic Switzerland by Train | 9 days | ₹248,949.00 | Couples, one-country deep |
| 9 Days London Paris Switzerland Package | 9 days | ₹162,000.00 | First-time Europe |
| 7 Days Eastern Europe - Prague – Salzburg – Vienna – Budapest | 7 days | ₹71,000.00 | Value, fewer crowds |
| 7 Days Spain - Barcelona - Ibiza Package | 7 days | ₹84,000.00 | Food, coast & Nightlife |
| Iceland Northern Lights Tour Package | 5 Days | ₹160,300.00 | Aurora season |
Yes — we plan Europe trips around Indian, vegetarian, and Jain food, and it’s one of the most common requests we get. On a custom trip we route you near trusted Indian kitchens and book them ahead: places like GourmIndia in Lucerne, Welcome India in Paris, and well-known Indian restaurants in London, Rome, Interlaken, and Amsterdam. Where a city has no good Indian option, we arrange vegetarian-friendly stays and pack-ahead meals. On our fixed-date small-group departures, Indian and Jain meals are included throughout. Tell Ms. Vipasha your food needs and we build the route to match.
Our Europe prices are quoted land-only — hotels, transfers, sightseeing, guides, and Indian-food arrangements — with flights arranged separately. That’s deliberate, and it’s good for you. Airfares from Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Kochi, or any Indian city differ a lot, and a flight-inclusive “fixed price” usually hides which city it’s built for. By keeping the land cost transparent and adding the best real fare from your airport, we plan Europe trips for travellers across India at a fair, honest price — not just the metro departure cities. We hold the same hotels and routes whether you fly from Hyderabad or Hubli.
Travelling from a specific city? We coordinate everything remotely — documents over WhatsApp, video consultations, and your Schengen file. Popular: Europe tour packages from Hyderabad.
Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa for almost every European country, and getting it right is the difference between a confirmed trip and a lost deposit. We handle the entire file in-house — we don’t outsource it. Our Schengen team prepares your document checklist, books the VFS appointment, drafts a consular-grade day-wise itinerary, arranges the mandatory travel insurance, and writes the cover letter the consulate expects. Because we also plan your trip, the hotel and flight bookings on your application are real, consistent, and approval-friendly — not throwaway dummy bookings. And if we spot a weak case before you pay, we tell you. One team, visa to homecoming.
What’s included (short list):
Travelling in 2026? Two EU border updates, and what they mean for you. The EU’s new EES (biometric entry/exit — a face and fingerprint scan replacing the passport stamp) is now in place at Schengen borders. In practice there’s nothing to do before you travel — it’s a quick formality on arrival, and your visa application process is completely unchanged. The separate ETIAS authorisation expected later in 2026 applies only to visa-exempt nationalities (US, UK, etc.) — it does not apply to Indian travellers, who continue to apply for a Schengen visa as normal. We keep a full, up-to-date explainer here: Schengen visa rules 2026 for Indian travellers.
Beyond the classic Europe circuit, we specialise in two things the big operators treat as an afterthought: Northern Lights trips and Arctic cruises. We plan aurora-season trips to Tromsø and the Norwegian Arctic, Rovaniemi and Finnish Lapland, and Reykjavik in Iceland, and we book Norwegian coastal voyages with Havila and Hurtigruten as land + cruise combinations. The 2024–2026 solar maximum has made aurora displays unusually strong, so this is a good window. These trips work as private family departures or quiet couple escapes.
Pick a country to see itineraries, hotels, and sample pricing — or combine several into one custom multi-country trip. These are the destinations we plan most for Indian travellers.
Western & Central: Switzerland · Paris / France · Italy · Amsterdam / Netherlands · Germany · Austria · Spain
UK & Ireland: London · Scotland · Ireland
Nordics & Arctic: Iceland · Norway · Finland · Sweden · Denmark
Eastern & Mediterranean: Czech Republic / Prague · Hungary · Croatia · Greece · Georgia
For most Indian travellers, April–June and September–October are the sweet spot — good weather, fewer crowds than peak summer, and easier Schengen slots. Here’s the season-by-season view.
As winter fades and flowers bloom, spring is arguably one of the best times to visit Europe. The pleasant weather invites outdoor exploration and sightseeing. Iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower in Paris bask in the gentle sunshine, while tulip fields in Amsterdam packages, burst into color. Additionally, popular attractions are less crowded compared to summer, allowing you to enjoy a more intimate experience at places like the Colosseum in Rome or the Sagrada Família in Barcelona.
Experience Europe at its vibrant best during summer, when festivals and events come alive. While temperatures can rise, cities like Berlin and Lisbon offer plenty of open-air activities. Don’t miss the chance to visit the stunning beaches of the Mediterranean or explore historic sites such as Stonehenge in England or the Acropolis in Greece. Just be sure to book Europe Tour Packages early, as this is peak tourist season!
Autumn offers a picturesque backdrop with colorful foliage painting landscapes across Europe. This season is perfect for wine enthusiasts, especially during the grape harvest festivals in regions like Tuscany and Bordeaux. Landmark visits, such as the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany or Prague Castle, are particularly enchanting against the backdrop of fall colors. Plus, cooler weather makes long walks through charming towns like Bruges or along the Danube River delightful.
For those who adore festive atmospheres, winter is a magical time to visit Europe. Experience the enchanting Christmas markets in cities like Vienna, Munich, and Strasbourg, where you can savor mulled wine and local delicacies. Iconic landmarks like the Big Ben in London and the Piazza San Marco in Venice look stunning under a blanket of snow. Winter sports enthusiasts can also hit the slopes in the Swiss Alps or French Pyrenees.
If you want to avoid both crowds and extreme weather, consider visiting during shoulder seasons. These months provide a sweet spot for travelers looking to enjoy popular landmarks like the Louvre Museum on Paris trip or the Acropolis Museum in Athens without the long lines typical of peak seasons. The mild climate makes it ideal for walking tours and leisurely explorations of cities like Barcelona or Budapest, where history and culture abound.
Plan your visit around unique festivals or events for a truly unforgettable experience! For example, witness the breathtaking Venetian Carnival in February, celebrate Oktoberfest in Munich during late September, or enjoy La Tomatina in Spain every August. Visiting during these times not only gives you access to vibrant celebrations but also allows you to see landmarks like the Canals of Venice or the Neuschwanstein Castle come alive with cultural significance.
No matter the season, Europe beckons travelers from India with its enchanting allure. Whether you’re drawn to the vibrant blooms of spring or the cozy ambiance of winter, there’s a perfect moment waiting for you to embark on your journey. Imagine standing before iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, or the picturesque canals of Venice — all just a flight away.
Don’t miss out on the chance to create lasting memories! Explore our Europe tour packages from IMAD Travel and discover the best times to visit this magnificent continent. Pack your bags for an unforgettable adventure filled with history, culture, and stunning sights!
