Worldwide Tours

Where is your next adventure taking you?

From the Australia’s Blue Mountains, the breath-taking views of Rio de Janeiro or the extraordinary Taj Mahal, worldwide tours are the perfect opportunity to jump out of your comfort zone and journey to the farthest reaches of the Earth.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to venture across the plains of Botswana’s wilderness, where animals roam freely in their natural habitat, or how about an extravagant open-side ‘jungle train’ to the head of South America’s Iguazu Falls – you might want to zip up your waterproof. 

Whether you’re a keen solo traveller who prefers their own company or someone looking to meet new faces, worldwide tours are an extraordinary way to experience the unknown. From floating on the Dead Sea in Jordan’s ancient world or heading in search of kangaroos across Australia, you will have the opportunity to meet like-minded travellers and say, “G’day” to new friends. Sri Lanka will offer you something else – voyage to one big island where you will face the Sigiriya Rock (nicknamed ‘Lion Rock’ if you’re feeling a little fierce) and for a different kind of cat, Yala National Park’s famous leopards are a photo treat. You'll travel in the company of our expert Tour Manager, who will fill you in on all the facts, knowledge of local culture and history to make your holiday an unforgettable experience. Think of the lifelong memories you will make.
