Over 50s tours

Some may wonder what the best age to travel is – we think all of them

The best thing about travel is it’s not a one-and-done. You can see the same sights at 18 and 58 but in completely different ways. Maybe the last time you travelled you did it all on your own – a mighty effort, but with a small group tour you can ease up and hand the reins to a local leader who knows their destination inside out. With transport, logistics and day-to-day titbits all taken care of, you can get the most out of your trip. Whatever your ideal trip looks like – whether it’s a wildlife trek through Alaska's Denali National Park, an unforgettable cruise down the Nile, or sipping margaritas with new amigos in Mexico – your next adventure is waiting for you.

Why choose us

A traveller dancing to a band playing local folk music in Bursa, Turkey
Authentic experiences with a local leader

Stuffy coaches, flag-touting tour guides and ‘seeing the sights’ isn’t our vibe. We prefer culturally rich experiences – led by a local – that take you behind the scenes of a destination. Our itineraries are packed with unique insights into local life. We're talking hands-on pastry-making classes with local Macedonian women, watching a traditional dance performance on the dunes in Pushkar or sleeping in a lush eco-resort in the Amazon.

We’ve found that it’s not always about the places you go but the people you meet along the way. Our trips are designed for people of all ages and with all sorts of life stories. With an average group size of 10, you'll get to know each other beyond the pleasantries over long dinner conversations and shared experiences. With a little luck, the friendships you make on your trip may last long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase at home.

Safety, logistics and convenience

As exciting as travelling is, it often involves a fair bit of planning. While we're sure you're well equipped to handle any situation, the beauty of travelling with us means we'll do the heavy lifting and take care of the nitty-gritty details so you can focus on what you're here to do: travel! From navigating border crossings to booking bus tickets, bridging language barriers to cultural dos and don'ts, sit back and enjoy yourself while your leader takes care of everything.
