FUTURE TOURS IN THE WORKS...
Spain's Classics (including Lisbon, Portugal) -
Coming October 2027
From the sun‑kissed plazas of Madrid to the tiled streets of Lisbon, this future journey will blend iconic sights, local flavors, and time to wander on your own. We’re still crafting the perfect itinerary, but if Spain (with a glimpse of Portugal) are on your wish list, this is your chance to be among the first to know when dates and pricing are released.
The Passion Play - Oberammergau, Germany – Returning in 2030
Only performed once every ten years, the Passion Play is a truly once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. We’re in the early planning stages for a special Vix Tours departure in 2030 that will combine this historic performance with memorable European sightseeing. If you’d like to be on the early‑interest list, let us know so you don’t miss your seat when details are announced.
Glimpses of the Extraordinary
I have enjoyed many trips with Vix Tours, and each one was thoughtfully and seamlessly coordinated. Vicki works closely with her travelers in every aspect of planning and execution. Traveling with Vix Tours is both effortless and enjoyable, a rare combination.

Vicki is great to work with! I have traveled with her on numerous trips and they have always been well-organized from beginning to end. Booking through Vix Tours has made my life so much easier. I would not trust my travel to anyone else!

We have been traveling the world with Vicki and Harold for almost twenty years and were delighted when they started their own agency, Vix Tours. Vix Tours includes round trip airport transfers to the airport regardless of the group size. Additionally, Vix always starts their trips a day before the tour begins, giving you time to get acclimated to time changes and start your tour rested and ready to go. Vix uses Collette Travels out of Rhode Island, which is an established, first-class tour operator. Tour guides are true professionals and Vix makes sure your every need is accommodated while travelling, particularly if unforeseen issues arise. We couldn't be happier to recommend Vix Tours to our friends.

I am a satisfied customer of Vicki's going on 14 years. I trust her professionalism, reliability, dedication and friendliness. One example of this was when I was at the airport trying to check in for an overseas trip and had an issue with my Visa. Vicki immediately stepped in to remedy the situation, and soon after, I was off for my trip. This is only one example of the many reasons I have chosen Vicki for my travels.

We have traveled with Vix Tours on several occasions and every experience has been consistently excellent. The trips are well-organized, the guides are knowledgeable, and everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Vicki handles each tour with attention to detail and a cheerful attitude. She strives to give attention to each individual's personal needs. We always feel taken care of, and that is why we keep coming back.

Vix Tours made my very first trip to Europe absolutely unforgettable. Our northern Italy itinerary was packed with charming towns and hidden gems I never would have found on my own. Vicki, the owner, went above and beyond to make sure every single person in our group was taken care of at all times. She even tracked down a ‘normal’ hair dryer for me—which is no small feat in Italy! I felt completely supported from start to finish.

I have traveled with Vicki as my travel guide to over 25 countries. She has made travel enjoyable, easy and taught me to be a better traveler. For me, Vix Tours is the only way to travel!

I highly recommend traveling with Vix Tours and Vicki Vander Veen! I have booked many trips with Vicki. She is SO organized, thorough and makes travel very easy, both domestic and international. As a traveler, I know everything is taken care of, from departure to landing at my destination. I have found tour guides to be excellent and wonderful hotels in central locations. Experiences are meaningful and I always appreciate some free time to explore on my own. Vicki is extremely easy to work with; she is so personable and fun!!! She truly wants you to get the most for your travel dollar and have a very enjoyable experience.
