The Joy of Touring
Touring holidays offer an enjoyable and effortless way to experience multiple destinations in one trip.
Carefully planned itineraries are designed to show you the best of each region. Experienced guides enhance each journey with local insight and support throughout.
Accommodation, transport and excursions are all arranged on your behalf. You can relax and enjoy the journey without having to manage the details. Touring provides a sociable and stress-free way to travel, with lasting memories made along the way.
Two Ways to Tour: Escorted or Small Group
There are two main touring styles to choose from, each offering a unique approach to discovery.
Escorted Coach Tours
These tours are ideal for those who value comfort, structure and great value.
Larger groups travel together by luxury coach and stay in well-located 4-star hotels. With a professional tour leader, guests enjoy well-organised travel with included sightseeing and experiences.
Small Group Journeys
Travelling in a smaller group, often with fewer than 20 guests, allows for a more personalised experience.
There is more flexibility in each itinerary, with time to explore lesser-known locations and enjoy authentic local encounters. These tours are ideal for travellers seeking a more immersive and relaxed pace.
