Escorted Tours
View all hotelsOur varied array of escorted land tours will appeal to those looking for something a little different from the usual collection of tours offered in mainstream brochures. Our repertoire of Escorted Tours features both independent hotel stays, organised tours, and journeys staying in a range of beautiful accommodation in multiple destinations. Excursions will be expertly guided by local specialists and well located and superior hotels, or best available, will await you at all your destinations. A selection of our escorted tours are special interest based and will explore themes such as music, history, culture or gastronomy. To further enhance your trip you may be joined by a specialist in the theme of your tour who will complement your local guides with a series of informal talks or lectures. Whether you choose to join one of our journeys by private plane or train or spend a week in a carefully selected property, our escorted land based tours are planned to achieve the most comfortable, convenient and interesting journey.
