Tour The World!

The growing popularity of escorted touring holidays

Do you find yourself spending increasingly more time researching and organising your holidays? It is estimated that we all spend nearly 10 hours deciding between hotels, looking for the cheapest flights, and cherry picking the best excursions, which is more time then we spend researching personal finances or insurance. However the hassle can be taking out of planning your travels as a touring holiday allows you to see the best sites, stay in trusted hotels and relax knowing your travels (and luggage) are taken care of!

It is the unique atmosphere of touring holidays that brings people back year after year. Each day brings new sights, sounds and flavours. In as little as a fortnight you could explore New York, Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, see the Niagara Falls and take a photo of The White House in Washington DC in the company of an experienced guide and new found friends.

Touring holidays are carefully planned to include plenty of leisure time for you to explore each destination at your own pace. Whether you decide to book an optional excursion, relax at the hotel or take the opportunity to buy souvenirs, plenty of time is left for you to make the holiday your own.

It is the social side of touring holidays that makes them a very popular choice for single travellers. Sharing experiences with others is a great way to make lifelong friendships and boost your overall enjoyment of the touring experience. You’ll stay with the same tour group throughout the trip, and all stay in the same hotels. Most evenings you’ll find your new travel companions meet for drinks, exchanging contact details to swap photos when back home.

A popular tour is Wonders of the Golden West with Jetsave Holidays. Starting in Los Angeles, you can soak up the real Hollywood atmosphere, and see where the stars live. It is then on to see the Grand Canyon before the dazzling lights and casinos of Las Vegas. Wild West fans can then see the ghost town of Calico before moving on to Yosemite National Park, Senora and then Lake Tahoe. The tour then takes in San Francisco, home to the infamous Alcatraz, 16 days later.

Most touring holidays will include flights within the price, and companies such as Jetsave also include national express travel from your hometown to the airport.

There are so many choices of tours available, from following Route 66 to a cruise down the Nile, seeing the Canadian Rockies by rail or a grand tour of China. Some tours can be added on as part of a longer holiday, or you may opt to only take part in a part of the tour. The hardest part of booking a touring holiday is deciding where to go!
