Our group tours cater for everyone from aged 18 to those over 70, but with 35% aged 21-40 you're sure to be in the company of like-minded people. Your fellow travellers will also be of a range of nationalities, travelling with partners, friends or as solo travellers.
Expert Guides
We employ passionate, local guides on our group tours, who help really bring each destination to life. In fact, for many of our travellers, the guide is one of the highlights of their trip. You'll learn all about the history and culture of a destination, as well as gain lots of useful local tips.
Accommodation
Alongside 3-5* hotels, our group tours include a range of authentic accommodation. From historic havelis in India, to Berber camps in Morocco and traditional ryokans in Japan. Most hotel information is available before you book, so you know where you'll be spending your nights.
Transportation Included
Airport arrival and departure transfers are often included on our tours. As well as travelling by comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles, we like to give our travellers a taste of local forms of transport too. These include tuk-tuks, rickshaws, boats, trains and much more.
Flexibility
All our group tours combine guided sightseeing with free time to explore at your own pace or simply relax on the beach. We also offer a range of add ons, perfect for if you have extra time at the start or end of your trip and want to experience more of what the destination has to offer.
Authentic Experiences
Whether it's a local school visit in India, cycling in Vietnam or sleeping under the stars in the Sahara, our tours are packed with authentic experiences. These allow you to truly immerse yourself in each destination you visit and give you some incredible memories too.
Great Group Sizes
All group sizes range by destination, however our tours have an average size of 16-18 travellers with many lasting friendships made on these trips. This small size means you'll really get to know the people you're travelling with while still enjoying a group experience.
Single rooms at a modest price
On all of our tours we offer the option to book a single room. Single rooms offer added comfort and privacy and are available on all of our holidays, aside from Overlanding in Africa, at an affordable price. If travelling solo you will be required to book a single room, others can also opt for a single room if they choose.

Frequently asked questionsHere we've answered the most common questions travellers over the age of 30 have about our tours.
What’s the average age of your travellers?
The average passenger age on our tours is in the 40s bracket. However, you'll find people from their 20s to their 70s travelling with us. 34% of our travellers are aged 21-40, so it’s likely you’ll be travelling with those of a similar age to you.
What’s the average group size?
On most of our tours the average group size is between 16-18 passengers, although this varies by destination and departure date. Groups can be as small as 4-6 travellers or up to 28 on our popular festival tours.
How fit do I have to be to join your tours?
Our tours offer a mix of active sightseeing, where you’ll be exploring on foot, with just enough free time to relax. A moderate level of fitness is required for most tours; however, if you’re considering joining one of our active tours, such as a trekking holiday, then a higher standard of fitness is needed. Speak to a member of our team if you’re questioning if a trip would be right for you.
Will I have to pay more as a solo traveller?
On our Signature tours, we offer a reasonably priced single room option, giving solo travellers the comfort and privacy of their own room. On selected Handpicked tours, it is possible for solo travellers to room share with another traveller of the same sex, though you are of course welcome to pay the single supplement for the privacy of your own room on these trips. Please speak to our Reservations team for details.
What sort of accommodation is included on your trips?
We use well-located 3-4* hotels on most of our group tours, with the occasional 5* property in destinations offering great value for money. Where possible we combine modern hotels with heritage properties such as traditional riads in Morocco and havelis in India. In places such as the Sahara or the Wadi Rum, we also offer the opportunity to stay at permanent desert camps.
I don't want to travel with a group. Do you offer private options?
If you like the look of our group tour itineraries but would prefer to travel without the group, then you can opt for our Private Tour Supplement. This means you'll be travelling in private transport with the services of our local English-speaking guides all to yourself.
I'd like to organise a trip with my own group of friends and family. Is this possible?
We offer tailor-made holidays to the majority of our destinations and our expert team can put together the perfect itinerary to suit you and whoever you are travelling with. You choose hotels to suit your budget, the sights you want to see and the pace of travel. Best of all, there’s no minimum or maximum numbers when it comes to private groups.

Here's a selection of destinations that have proven popular with our travellers in their 30s. This is by no means all that we offer, so do browse our full range of destinations for more holiday ideas.
Morocco
Capturing all that is so alluring about Morocco, the city of Marrakech is a must-visit. Top sights include the UNESCO-listed Djemaa el Fna square, which overflows with food stalls and street performers. Outside of Marrakech, the other imperial cities of Fes, Rabat and Meknes each have their own charms, as does the Blue City of Chefchaouen and coastal Essaouira. Stay in a Moroccan Riad for a truly authentic experience.
Botswana
A safari destination like no other, Botswana offers scenery ranging from the endless stretches of the Kalahari Desert to the lush waterways of the Okavango Delta. Choose between classic game drives on land or explore the delta on a mokoro, a traditional dug-out canoe pushed with a long pole. Botswana also boasts a variety of luxury lodges, so you can be sure to have a memorable stay in this beautiful country.
Turkey
An extraordinary holiday destination, Turkey is home to the stunning Blue Mosque in Istanbul, the Roman ruins of Ephesus and Pergamum and the 'cotton castles' of Pamukkale. Add to this the surreal landscape of Cappadocia, with its fairytale chimneys and rock-hewn dwellings, and you have more than enough reason to visit this Turkey in your 30s.
India
From the famous Golden Triangle in the north to the scenic Kerala backwaters in the south, India is a feast for the senses. Experience the colours of Holi and the lights of Diwali on our dedicated festival tours, or perhaps head to Ranthambore National Park in search of the elusive Bengal tiger on our wildlife tours. With so much to see and do, you could keep travelling to India again and again.
