Our Pace Guide

Helping you Travel with Confidence

Everyone travels differently. That’s why we’ve created our Pace Guide – a simple way to understand how active each of our holidays are, so you can choose a tour that feels right for you. Whether you prefer gentle sightseeing or enjoy a more energetic itinerary, there’s a pace to suit you.

Leisurely

Ideal if you prefer to take things nice and easy

These holidays are designed with relaxation in mind. Days are unhurried and plenty of time to enjoy each destination at a comfortable pace.

  • Staying in one location for the duration

  • Although walking is required during included or optional excursions, sometimes over uneven or cobbled stone ground it is generally gentle and no more than 1 mile

  • Plenty of free time with the choice of optional excursions

Perfect for travellers who enjoy scenic drives, guided visits and soaking up the atmosphere without feeling rushed.

Easy going

A comfortable balance of sightseeing and relaxation with stays between one and three locations, usually with multiple nights in each location. Including a mix of included activities and free time to relax or explore at your leisure. These holidays are perfect for those who want to take it easy but also enjoy longer-day, more in-depth excursions, including guided walking tours, that really get to the heart of the destinations you’ll visit.

These tours include gentle walking and well-planned sightseeing, with time to rest and recharge.

  • Walking is generally easy and unhurried

  • Some steps, slopes or uneven surfaces may be encountered

  • Free time built into most days

  • Suitable if you’re mobile and comfortable being on your feet for set periods of time of up to 3 hours walking or standing

Ideal if you enjoy exploring but at a leisurely pace.

Active

For those who enjoy travelling to multiple destinations within an itinerary including multi countries.

These holidays suit travellers who are happy with a fuller itinerary including shorter, multiple stays throughout a country or multi country visits. This will include longer journeys and days of sightseeing.

  • More walking, sometimes over uneven ground or cobbled streets

  • A quicker pace between visits and excursions

  • May include early starts or longer days

  • Our Walking Tours are included in this category even though you are usually staying in one place for the duration of your trip. Walking distance is included within each itinerary description.

  • Cruises also fall into this category due to the steps onboard and often no lift available, the requirement to walk across ships when in dock to get on and off your ship and the mooring areas often having steps to get up and down to street level

  • Suitable if you’re fit, active and enjoy a full itinerary to see and experience as much as you can of a destination

A great choice if you like to see and do as much as possible.

Adventurous

Designed for confident, active travellers who enjoy a challenge and don’t mind a fast pace. A good level of fitness is required as these are our most exciting but physically demanding tours. You’ll be staying in multiple locations on your escorted holiday, in destinations around the world that have varying standards and climates. From cold and icy to hot and humid, you’ll need to be comfortable in a variety of conditions.

  • You are on the move most days

  • Steps, hills and uneven terrain are common

  • Busy itineraries with little downtime, often include days with early starts

  • Some of these holidays may include areas of sustained higher altitude

  • May require significant walking on most days often with steps, hills and uneven terrain

  • Busy itineraries with little downtime and often include multi country travel including different modes of transport

  • Longer itineraries at a faster pace often in more remote parts of the world requiring international longer flights

  • Some destinations may be relatively remote, meaning support might be a little further away

  • Suitable only if you have a high level of fitness and mobility

Perfect if you love immersive exploration and are happy to keep moving and if you are looking for an adventure. Be prepared to be on your feet walking and standing for extended periods on potentially challenging terrain, including longer walks and hikes, then this grade is suitable for you.
