Adventure & Escorted Tours: See more, experience more

Some holidays are all about the journey

There are holidays where you find a lovely hotel, unpack your suitcase and settle in for a week.

And then there are holidays where you want to see what's around the next corner.

Perhaps you've dreamed of exploring the temples of Japan, watching elephants on an African safari or discovering the ancient cities and landscapes of South America.

These are the holidays where the experiences, people and places you encounter become the real attraction.

And you don't necessarily need to plan every detail yourself.

What exactly is an escorted tour?

An escorted tour is an organised journey where much of the itinerary and travel between destinations is arranged for you, often with a tour manager or local guide.

That might mean travelling through several cities, visiting historic landmarks, exploring national parks or discovering places you might not have considered visiting independently.

Some tours follow a fairly full programme, while others allow plenty of free time to explore at your own pace.

Group sizes vary too. You might enjoy travelling with a small group of like-minded people, or prefer a larger organised tour with everything clearly planned.

The important thing is finding the experience and pace that suit you.

Adventure doesn't have to mean roughing it

The word adventure can conjure up images of trekking through jungles or sleeping somewhere miles from civilisation.

And if that's what you're looking for, there are certainly holidays that offer it!

But an adventure can also mean discovering a new culture, taking a wildlife safari, travelling along a spectacular railway or visiting somewhere that's always been on your wish list.

You could enjoy comfortable hotels, organised transport and knowledgeable guides while still experiencing something completely different from your usual holiday.

Adventure is about what you discover, not how uncomfortable you have to be along the way.

The world is waiting to be explored

There are some incredible destinations for touring holidays.

Japan offers a fascinating mixture of ancient traditions and modern cities. Italy has history, landscapes and wonderful food around practically every corner. And across Africa, guided journeys can introduce you to remarkable wildlife and scenery.

Closer to home, escorted tours can take you through the Scottish Highlands, around Ireland or across some of Europe's most interesting regions.

Some journeys concentrate on one destination, while others combine several countries into a longer adventure.

Whatever interests you, there's often a way to explore it with much of the planning already taken care of.
