Some parts of the world reward a guide. China's imperial cities, India's golden triangle, Jordan's ancient stones, the Canadian Rockies: places where a brilliant tour leader turns sightseeing into storytelling, and where having every hotel, transfer and ticket arranged lets you simply look up and take it in.
That is the promise of an escorted tour, and it is why they remain some of the most loved holidays we book. We arrange escorted tours and group holidays across the world, from classic coach itineraries to luxury small group journeys with a dozen travellers and hotels to match.
Because we deal with all the major touring operators as well as the specialists, we can be honest about which tours suit which travellers: the pacing, the group size, the age mix, the amount of free time. Escorted holidays for single travellers, tours without single supplements, group holidays for over 50s, faster small group adventures: we know the difference and we will match you carefully.
Every escorted holiday comes with full ATOL protection, and with us on the end of the phone at home while your tour leader looks after you on the road.
For Inspiration
Some journeys are simply better with an expert leading the way. Three favourites:
Beijing to the Yangtze
The Great Wall, the Terracotta Army and a Yangtze cruise, all arranged.
Vancouver, Banff and beyond
Escorted Rockies tours with the scenery doing the hard work.
The Middle East
Escorted tours through Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea.
Your Questions
A holiday where an experienced tour leader travels with you, and every hotel, transfer and excursion is arranged in advance. You see more, carry less, and never have to work out a foreign railway timetable at 7am. Fully escorted tours include almost everything; we will talk you through exactly what is covered.
They are one of the best ways to travel solo. You have instant company at dinner, safety in numbers, and shared memories. Many operators offer solo escorted tours and departures without a single supplement, and we know which ones they are.
Not any more. There are escorted holidays for over 50s that are wonderful, and there are also faster-paced small group escorted tours full of travellers in their 30s and 40s. The trick is matching the operator to you, which is exactly what we do.
Anything from a full coach to a small group of 12 or fewer. Luxury small group journeys with a dozen travellers feel completely different from a large group tour; tell us your preference and we will book accordingly.
