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."
Explore tours to Australia & 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.

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.

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?

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.
