What senior travelers are saying about our tours

Australia and New Zealand....trip of a lifetime

Sharon, 5-time traveler

"Australia and New Zealand brought me new friends and acquaintances, and new experiences and knowledge of other cultures I've never really known before. ...at age 78 I decided to try the bungee chair swing over the Nevis Canyon in Queenstown, New Zealand."

Breathtaking experience

Cathy M., 2-time traveler

What a wonderful and inspiring experience! Stevyn, our tour director, was without a doubt the most experienced of directors. He made sure we captured every majestic view at every turn. Too much to see to nap on a 2,000 + mile tour. The hotels, food, rest stops were great.

Senior travel FAQ

Who travels on your guided tours?

At EF Go Ahead Tours, it’s our mission to help as many people as possible see the world, which means welcoming people of all backgrounds and ages on our trips. The majority of our travelers are in their 50s to 60s, but adults of all ages join our tours! You’ll meet like-minded adventurers who share a curiosity about exploring the world. It’s not uncommon for travelers in their late 20s to be on the same tour as travelers in their 70s, and every age in-between.

What’s included on your senior tours?

Our tours are for travelers who want to see the world, but don't want to worry about logistics. Our prices include accommodations, on-tour transportation, breakfast daily, select lunches and dinners, your Tour Director, sightseeing tours with local guides, and entrance tickets. We've been creating great travel experiences for over 55 years, so we've got planning covered and can’t wait to show you the best of your destination.

Where are the best places to travel for seniors?

The best place to go on tour completely depends on your preferences! We offer trips that visit each continent, from Europe to Asia, and Africa to Australia. If you’d prefer to stay closer to home, we also offer escorted tours for seniors right here in North America. No matter which destination you decide to visit on tour, rest assured we’ll plan all the details and be sure you skip the lines at popular landmarks.

What are some recommended tours for seniors traveling alone?

We understand that traveling on your own can be intimidating, which is why going solo on a group tour is such a wonderful way to see the world! Many solo travelers join our tours to enjoy the safety and company of going with a group, and they have an amazing experience.

We offer more than 175 adventures around the world. Some of our popular tours for seniors traveling alone are:

How active are your senior tours?

Whether you want an active Walking Tour or are looking for something a little more laid-back, like a Food & Wine Tour, we can point you toward a trip with a pace that might work for you.

We offer a range of different types of tours, depending on how long you want to travel for, which destinations you’d like to visit, and how much walking you’d like to do each day. For all of our senior group tours, you should be comfortable managing your own baggage at times, getting on and off buses, and being on your feet during included sightseeing tours. Check out the tour pace information when considering which of our senior travel tours is right for you.
