Choices for Your Group

Any group of 8 or more people travelling together can book through our dedicated Groups Department. If you’re a larger group we can look at operating your preferred holiday as a private one for just your members only. Smaller groups can travel together on any of our regular tours with other like-minded Riviera guests.

All our customers pay the same price but when you book as a group through our dedicated groups department, you will also receive free places or money back after you’ve travelled, as a thank you from us and to share or use as you wish. See our Group terms and conditions here.

Whatever you decide, whether to travel by air or Eurostar, on a touring holiday or single/multi-centred break, all of our tours are fully escorted throughout by an experienced Riviera Travel Tour Manager.

Testimonials from recent groups

From our original booking for the Medieval Germany River Cruise we have received efficient, friendly and excellent service. The cleanliness of the ship, the lovely meals and ever smiling crew make this a holiday to remember.

- Dixon Group Tours, Swindon

Incidentally, some of the group have told me that they have been so impressed with Riviera from our group holidays that they have since been on their own Riviera holidays!

- Stephen Owen, Holy Name, Esher

One word to describe the holiday. 'Fantastic'.  We had lovely hotels, great excursions and were made very welcome by everyone plus the weather was also on our side. The staff were lovely and really took care of us. The guide was excellent, loved her subject and we all enjoyed our free time. We had waited two years for this holiday and loved every minute.  We all had a very enjoyable holiday and have some wonderful memories.  I'm already being asked 'where are we going next time??"  I'm  already looking  forward to the next holiday !

- Christine Gardner, Christine's Charity Challenge
