À la Carte

Don't need a full tour?
We can still help.

Already have your flights and hotel? We design standalone experiences — a single day, a private guide, a dinner reservation you can't get on your own. Same expertise, no package required.

Every service comes with the same planning quality and local knowledge as our full tours. Mix and match, or let us put something together.

"Amazing private tour in Spain"

We had a great trip in Spain, we booked a private tour, visited Barcelona, Madrid and Seville, it was amazing and thank you for planning it for us. I don't think there was anything bad we could say, we enjoyed the trip — we only wish it was a bit longer. Thank you.

"We booked 7 day Italy trip"

We booked a 7 day Italy trip, everything was great, the guide was actually super nice in Venice, very charismatic, we wish it was a bit longer trip. Oh well, next time. Thanks.

"A nice touch"

We only needed train tickets in Italy, we thought that this must be a wrong place for it but Hamilton and Chase helped with that, yet there was a twist, a good one. On the day of our trip to Venice one of their specialists even called us, reminded us about the time of departure and asked if we need directions to the platform. We thought that this was an amazing touch. Thank you.

"Excellent bespoke travel company"

Thomas helped us from Hamilton and Chase Tours. His communication and response times were impeccable. He set up a beautiful tour in the Douro Valley of Portugal for us. Arranged a great driver in a clean sleek Mercedes, English speaking, very professional and safe driver. We had a lovely day, everything was on time and went as planned. Thomas checked in with us a few days prior to make sure we had everything we needed, and there was already a follow up email in my inbox at the day's end. We will definitely use this company again for more European travel.

"Thank you for your help with our short Norway trip"

Thank you for your help with our short Norway trip, we were missing some services in Bergen and Flam, the guys helped us even with a short notice. The trip was great!

"My company had a great experience!"

My company used Hamilton and Chase for a company trip to Sintra in Portugal and we had a great experience! They did all the planning and organizing for us. They made it seem effortless and I know it's not easy to plan a trip for 40 people. The tour was great. The buses met us at our hotel and took us to one of the palaces in Sintra and then we had time to walk around with the guide. Sintra is such a pretty city! The drivers were very professional and the tour guide was great! Thank you for such a great experience!

About Hamilton & Chase

We don't sell packages.
We design journeys.

We may be newer to the scene, but our team is made up of seasoned travel professionals who've spent years working across Europe — for couples on anniversaries, families with young children, friends celebrating milestones, and travelers who simply want a little more from their time away.

Small team, big expertise. Every itinerary is built around you: the rooms you'll sleep in, the guides who'll meet you, the meals you'll remember. Nothing about it is off-the-shelf.
