The perfect holiday has different meanings for different people.  Some prefer to head off alone into the wilderness with just a backpack and travellers guidebook for company, while others prefer to join an organised tour where luxury hotels, quality ground transportation and all the activities you could possibly wish for are ready and waiting to be enjoyed.

Self-drive tours can be great fun and if you don’t mind following foreign signposts or driving on the “wrong side of the road” a self-drive tour could be one of the best holidays you have ever have. However, if your idea of the perfect holiday involves no stress, no maps and no wrong turns, then an escorted tour might be exactly the holiday you are looking for.

Ideal for singles, couples, families and groups, escorted tours remove any “what if” scenarios from your holiday, so you can simply sit back, relax and enjoy the best the country you are visiting has to offer.

Escorted tours based on smaller groups are much more personal than the larger groups offered, and while they may cost a little more, they are more comfortable, more flexible and provide more opportunities to make friends with the other travellers in your group.

Visiting foreign lands on an escorted tour is fun, stress free and you do not have to worry about language barriers or wandering off into unfamiliar surroundings as you have a personal guide with you every step of the way.  You do not have to search for the best restaurants, excursions, hotels and activities, and as you have a personal driver, you are free to taste those fine wines at local Vineyards or enjoy a bottle of wine at the beach!

If you would like to discover a whole new world but do not want to do it alone, consider an escorted tour for your next holiday and uncover the world with a group of like-minded people, who could soon be your new best friends!
