Our Story


Considering a global environment that is continuously changing, booking and travelling with a reputable company is now more important than ever


Welcome to our world

While we now happily call Australia home, we are both European-born. Our journey started 34 years ago when we met in Portugal and ran regional day tours. 

We have lived in, travelled extensively and thoroughly researched every one of our destinations. Peter is an avid traveller who spent a wonderful nine years in Italy and five in Portugal.

TIKI TOURS has enviable local knowledge of everything from cosmopolitan cities to rustic rural towns. You are in good hands with our European tour directors and local city guides who have worked with us for many years. 

Our itineraries entertain, inform and delight: fascinating history, art and culture, the beauty of nature, good food and wine, stimulating conversation and the company of like-minded adults.

We are passionate about creating high-quality travel experiences and savouring the best things in life.

Many have travelled the roads of Europe. Not many have done with such relaxed style. We would love you to join us.

Our Team

Our long-standing team in Europe is no doubt our best asset. Anyone who enjoys small group touring knows that a successful tour is usually the result of the unique skill set, experience and personality of the tour director in charge. The importance of their sense of humour, ability to prioritise and improvise as well as their in-depth local knowledge is crucial to a successful tour. In addition we work with many local expert guides. You can relax and will be in good hands!
