Family-owned escorted tour operator for the 50+ guest, One Traveller, is expanding its popular music-led travel programme with the launch of a new escorted tour for 2026, alongside a growing portfolio of concert and opera experiences across Europe and the USA.
The headlining music tour for 2026 is a four-night Lisbon break (27–31 October 2026, from £2,750pp), combining cultural sightseeing with a live performance by world-renowned violinist André Rieu. The itinerary includes guided visits to Lisbon’s historic Belém district, Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower, as well as an excursion to Sintra and the colourful Pena Palace. The tour includes return flights, four nights in a four-star hotel, nine meals, a dedicated tour manager, expert guides and a maximum group size of 30.
In addition to the new launch, One Traveller’s established music programme includes tours featuring André Rieu in Ljubljana and Vienna, Andrea Bocelli in Tuscany, a six-day tour to the Puccini Festival in Tuscany, a five-day tour to the Verona Opera Festival and a 16-day Deep South USA music and culture tour.
One Traveller’s Managing Director said: “Music-led travel continues to be a key area of demand for our clients, with strong interest in itineraries that combine live performances with well-structured cultural touring. Expanding our programme allows us to offer greater choice across different musical genres and destinations, while maintaining the high standards of service and small-group experience our customers expect.”
All tours operate in small groups and reflect One Traveller’s focus on high levels of service, expert-led touring and all accommodation offered in double rooms for single occupancy. For further information on One Traveller’s music tours visit: Music Tours.
