Our escorted tours are led by expert local guides who know the ins and outs of their destinations. They’re passionate about their countries, bringing a wealth of knowledge, culture, and history to each trip. These dedicated leaders provide you with insider insights, share hidden stories, and ensure you make the most of every moment while also keeping you safe and well looked after.
Escorted tours with us offer a wide variety of activities, from scenic hikes and cultural site visits to wildlife spotting and culinary experiences. We tailor each itinerary to highlight the best local experiences—whether it’s trekking the mountains, exploring ancient ruins, or relaxing on a beautiful beach. Our trips strike the perfect balance between exploration and relaxation, ensuring you return home with memories that last a lifetime.
Accommodation on our escorted tours is carefully selected to offer comfort, quality, and authenticity. You’ll stay in a range of places, from charming hotels and boutique guesthouses to traditional lodges and unique stays that provide a true sense of place. Where possible, we aim to reach out to local businesses and family-run accommodations to help stimulate the local economy in the places we visit. Rest assured, wherever you stay, we ensure it’s a welcoming and convenient base for your adventure.
Absolutely! Over 50% of our travellers choose to travel solo, making it one of our most popular ways to travel. Escorted tours are perfect for solo travellers looking for a safe, sociable, and structured way to explore the world. You’ll meet like-minded adventurers from all over who share your passion for travel, and our group sizes are small enough to make everyone feel included. Our escorted holidays offer the perfect opportunity to bond with others while immersing yourself in the heart of the destination you’re travelling through.
Our tours attract a wide variety of travellers, with the average age ranging from mid-30s to mid-60s. That said, age is just a number—our trips appeal to anyone with a sense of adventure and curiosity about the world. It’s the perfect setting to meet people of all backgrounds and walks of life, and many stay in touch long after the adventure is over.
Our escorted tours are graded to suit different fitness levels, ranging from easy walks and relaxing cycles to more challenging treks and rides with steeper inclines. Some trips involve more physically demanding activities, while others focus on sightseeing and cultural immersion. Each trip’s difficulty level is clearly marked on our site and in our brochures, so you can choose one that matches your comfort level and activity preference. We aim to offer adventures for everyone, so there’s a great range of trips depending on what you’re looking for.
What you pack depends on your destination, the time of year you’re travelling in, and the activities planned for your trip. For most tours, we recommend lightweight, comfortable clothing suitable for a range of temperatures, durable walking shoes, a hat, a waterproof jacket, and essentials like sunscreen and a camera. If you’re unsure about what to bring, our trip notes will provide detailed packing lists based on your specific tour, ensuring you’re fully prepared to get the most out of your experience.
While our escorted tours are designed to maximise your time exploring, we always ensure there’s plenty of free time built into our itineraries so you can unwind, make use of your accommodation’s facilities or explore further. You’ll have time to stroll through local markets, enjoy a meal with new friends, or discover hidden gems at the beat of your own drum. The balance between structured activities and free time gives you that perfect balance of both guided exploration and personal discovery.
