Rayburn Tours — one, two or even four stop tours!

Rayburn Tours has some brilliant ways to ensure your band has a great European tour...

Rhineland
 

Rayburn Tours is making sure you have plenty of choices as you contemplate your next band tour.

Torn between two destinations? Maybe half of the band favours Belgium and the other half favours Germany?

If that's the case, Rayburn Tours has just the thing!

'Pick 'n' Mix' tour

On a 'Pick 'n' Mix' tour, your band can hop between two, three or even four countries, opening up an even greater choice of exciting performance opportunities.

Four Countries Tour

The Four Counties tour offers bands a fully-rounded experience with the opportunity to travel and perform in Germany, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg all in one go!

So why settle for one when you can have four?

Base your band in one of these countries and choose from a range of venues in all four, experiencing different cultures and traditions as you go!

Brilliant from start to finish

Trentham Brass Band embarked on a Four Countries Tour last summer and the tour went down with a big brass bang, with band spokesperson Mike Caveney, commenting that it was, '...complete five star package...absolutely brilliant from start to finish.'

Our top 'Two Countries Tour' recommendations...

Belgium and the Rhineland

On a 'two-stop' tour to Belgium and the Rhineland, bands can perform in Belgium's coastal town of De Panne or take part in the Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate before journeying on to the Rhineland's charming hillside villages and old-world cities to perform in the region's beautiful spa-town venues and market squares, from Rudesheim Market Square, to Bad Ems' Bandstand.

Paris and Noordwijk

A concert tour with a concert contrast, vibrant city life meets coastal retreat on a tour to Paris and Noordiwjk. Choose from Paris' plethora of park performance options, from Parc du Champe de Mars to Jardin du Luxembourg, before cherry-picking the best venues in Nordwijk, including Delft's Market Square and the tourist spot of Stadhuisplein in Leiden.
