People don’t take trips, trips take people
John Steinbeck
Once considered the realm of senior citizens, escorted tours – usually by coach – are becoming more attractive to a more youthful audience. Many companies are offering smaller vehicles with groups as small as eight, making it a more intimate and pleasant experience for exploring destinations around the world. Whilst losing an element of independence – the knowledge shared by an experienced tour guide can definitely enhance the touring experience. With many tours including food and beverage (wine, beer or spirits) tasting, you can put your feet up and slumber or enjoy the scenery.

If you are keen to travel to a destination but the thought of trying to find your way around, or speaking the local language is putting you off; then an escorted tour is the solution. For destinations such as Japan, China, Korea or India for instance where the geography, language and culture can be challenging, having someone who can ‘hold-your-hand’ whilst you enjoy the spectacular scenery and cultural delights is a real benefit. So for a stress-free holiday, an escorted tour is the solution. For destinations like the USA, Canada, Australia and South Africa where there are fewer issues with the language, in particular, an escorted tour with an experienced tour director will ensure that you don’t miss any highlights and that you are relaxed and chilled whilst the driver and guide do their thing!
