Music Tours & Holidays

Music trips

Our music escorted holidays take you to places where music isn’t just a soundtrack – it’s part of the story. Travel to cities with rich musical roots, from Vienna to Memphis. Visit iconic venues and museums. Enjoy hand-picked live performances, often in unforgettable settings.

These tours are thoughtfully designed and led by expert tour managers, making them ideal for anyone who wants to experience the world through a different lens – and a different rhythm.

Discover the joy of music on tour

There’s nothing quite like hearing music performed live in the place it was made famous. On a music tour, the destination becomes part of the show – whether you’re hearing an orchestra in a grand European concert hall or stepping inside the studio where rock ’n’ roll history was made.

Travelling with fellow music lovers adds something special, too. You’ll share the experience with people who understand why this kind of holiday matters. It’s about the memories, the atmosphere, the emotion – not just ticking off sights.

And because everything’s taken care of by our expert tour managers – travel, tickets, accommodation – you can simply enjoy the music.

Kelsie Tune, Trustpilot review

“We have just returned from a 4 day trip to see Andre Rieu - a 90th birthday present from my sister and I for my Mum. We had a great time. The organisation, the itinerary, the Pullman hotel in Eindhoven were all excellent. A special mention should go to our tour manager, Tony who looked after us extremely well.”
