Wondering how to book a Europamundo tour from South Africa? It is simpler than most travellers expect, and you can do the whole thing tonight. You choose a guided coach journey, you see one all-in price in Rands, you hold your seat with a R3,000 deposit per person, and then you arrange your own flights to the European starting city. Tour2gether is the South African company you book with, and this guide walks through every step in plain language so you know exactly what happens and when.
Who is who: Europamundo and Tour2gether
Europamundo is the operator on the ground. They run more than 1,000 guided coach journeys across Europe, Asia, Morocco and Egypt, all English-guided, with guaranteed departures from cities like Madrid, Rome, Paris and Lisbon. Tour2gether (Pty) Ltd is the South African travel company you book, contract and pay, with a small team in Cape Town who answer within a business day. In short: Europamundo runs the coach, and we are the people who sell you the seat, price it in Rands and stand behind it.

Does booking here cost more?
No. You pay one all-in Rand price, with the 3% online processing already inside the figure on screen. What you get for it is Rand pricing, an exchange rate locked the moment you book, and a local human who owns your booking from the first question to the day you land back home. The honest side-by-side is in why book your Europamundo journey with us.
Step 1, choose your journey
Start by browsing the catalogue. You can browse the full range priced in Rands, or narrow by region, for example journeys through Spain or journeys through Italy. If you want departures aimed at English-speaking travellers, filter to the GO English journeys. Use compare to put two or three itineraries side by side and weigh route, nights and inclusions before you commit.
Pay attention to three things: the start and end cities (this shapes your flights), the number of nights, and what is included. These journeys are land-only, so accommodation, coach travel and a guide are covered, while your international flights are arranged separately.
How do I see a Europamundo price in Rands?
You already are. Every journey page shows one all-in figure in Rands, no maths, no conversion, no waiting for a call back. And the important part: the exchange rate is locked the moment you book. We carry the currency risk between that day and your final payment, not you. If the Rand weakens against the Euro afterwards, your price does not move. That single feature removes the biggest unknown in paying for an overseas trip. We explain it in detail in Europamundo tours in Rands.
Step 2, pick your date and your room
Choose your departure date from the live calendar and your room type: single, twin, double or triple. Add any optional excursions you already know you want. Seats are checked live, so what you see is what is genuinely available. Nothing about the price is guesswork at this point. You are looking at a real, payable figure in Rands.
Step 3, hold your seat with a deposit
A R3,000 deposit per person secures the booking, paid locally in Rands. With the 3% online processing that every price here carries, that is charged as R3,090. Because you pay in Rands into a South African account, you also avoid the roughly 2 to 3% foreign-transaction fee SA banks add to card payments made in Euros. That saving is real, and it stacks on top of the rate lock. For a fuller walk-through of the money side, see how to pay for a Europamundo tour from South Africa.
Read the cancellation terms before you pay, because they are firm: more than 75 days before departure the deposit is forfeited, from 75 to 46 days 75% of the journey is charged, from 45 to 31 days 90%, and inside 30 days the full amount. The deposit is not returned in any of those cases. That is why comprehensive travel insurance from a South African provider belongs on top of every booking.
Step 4, give us your traveller details
Next we collect what the operator needs to issue your travel documents: full names exactly as they appear in each travel document, document numbers, nationalities and dates of birth. Take care here, because names must match your travel document precisely, they appear on hotel and coach manifests. If you are travelling with children, we will tell you what extra paperwork South African regulations require. This is also the moment to flag any dietary needs or mobility considerations so they reach the operator well before you travel.
Step 5, book your flights
These journeys are land-only and begin in a European city, so you arrange your own flights out and home. They do not depart from South Africa. Ask us and we will advise on sensible routing from Johannesburg or Cape Town: which European hub to fly into, and how much buffer to leave before your journey begins. A common-sense rule is to arrive at least a day early so a delayed flight never costs you the start of your trip, and to avoid booking your return flight for the exact morning the journey ends.
Step 6, pay the balance and get your documents
The balance is due 75 days before departure, again in Rands at the rate locked when you booked. Until then, there is no rush. Once it is settled we issue your final travel documents: your itinerary, vouchers and joining instructions telling you where and when to meet the coach. Keep them together with your travel document and flight details.
Step 7, travel
On the day, you make your own way to the published meeting point in the starting city, you meet your English-speaking guide, and the journey begins. Throughout, we remain your point of contact on South African time if anything needs attention.
A note on flexibility
There are three options worth knowing about while you plan. Stop Yes lets you pause a journey mid-route and rejoin later. Rotary Routes let you board at any city on a looping route. Sector Yes lets you book only part of a longer journey. If your dates or arrival city are awkward, mention it, one of these may fit beautifully.
