Heading to Europe and soaking up the sun on a beach or touring a capital city are popular ways to spend some time abroad and can be done pretty easily. However, there's much more to Europe than that!

To give you an idea of what you could be doing this summer, we've put together a few of our favourite tours here, all of which are uniquely Explore and won't be found anywhere else!
