Escorted touring for mature travellers · ATIA accredited
We want every traveller to have a safe, comfortable and enjoyable trip.
Every tour carries one of three fitness ratings, so you know how much walking, standing and climbing is involved before you book.
The ratings are not there to exclude anyone. They help you choose the tour that suits you, and our team is always happy to talk it through.
Each rating takes these five things into account.
How far you walk in a day
Level paths, cobblestones, sand or slopes
Steps, hills and steep sections
How long you stand without a seat
Coach steps, luggage and moving about independently
