Europe Express’s Most Sustainable Tours

Extraordinary travel experiences can be sustainable!


At Europe Express, we believe that extraordinary travel experiences and sustainability go hand in hand. If your clients are looking to explore Europe while minimizing their environmental impact, these tours are a perfect fit. From electric tuk-tuks to catamaran clean-ups, here’s a look at some of the most eco-friendly experiences we offer! 

Spain: Eco Adventures by Sea and Land


Set sail on the sparkling Mediterranean with two eco-conscious options: 

Not only are catamarans inherently eco-friendly—thanks to their fuel efficiency, renewable energy use, and low environmental impact—but a percentage of each booking helps fund Mediterranean Sea clean-up projects and coral planting efforts. Right now, these initiatives are removing about 2.2 pounds of plastic from the sea every single day. 

For a fresh way to explore Spain’s cities, hop aboard one of our 100% electric Tuk Tuks, available in Seville, Madrid, Barcelona, and Malaga. Choose from Welcome, Express, or Expert-level tours depending on your interests: 

With zero carbon emissions and a lot of charm, these rides offer a greener, quieter alternative to traditional sightseeing. 

Italy: Sustainable by Rail 


You can experience the stunning Amalfi Coast sustainably with our Shared Tour: Positano and Amalfi Coast by High-Speed Train. Rail travel is one of the greenest ways to explore Europe, producing 80% fewer greenhouse gas emissions per kilometer compared to cars.  

Coming soon, we’ll have Eco Tuk-Tuk Tours across Italy as well! 

Finland: Eco Luxury at the Arctic Circle


Recognized as a top five sustainability leader by the Environmental Performance Index (EPI), Finland is a dream for eco-conscious travelers. We recommend a stay at Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, where family-owned operations and advanced energy systems lead the way in sustainability. 

Top experiences include: 

Paris: Pedal and Stroll Sustainably 


Trade four wheels for two and see Paris the green way: 

Our bike tour partner is family-owned, and cycling through the City of Light drastically reduces CO2 emissions compared to traditional minivan tours.

The Small Group Vintage Paris and The Flea Market St. Ouen Walking Tour supports local artisans, encourages recycling and resale shopping, and keeps economic impact dollars in the community.

Another Environmental Performance Index top-ranked country, Switzerland is a model for sustainable tourism. Travelers can experience the breathtaking Alps while keeping their carbon footprint low: 

We also offer the Swiss Pass, making eco-friendly rail travel throughout the country simple and convenient.
