Escorted tours with Titan Travel

Our tours have all been carefully researched and planned by our team of travel experts, with each aspect of the itinerary planned to a T. Having a detailed itinerary is invaluable when it comes to choosing a holiday, so you’ll find full day-by-day breakdowns of each tour along with details of where you’ll stay and exactly what’s included in the price. Each tour starts and ends at your own front door too, thanks to our VIP door-to-door travel service. 

With so many different adventures and touring options available, it’s hard to know where to start! Here are a few things to think about - they’ll narrow down your options and help you find a tour that will suit you perfectly. 

First off, how far do you want to travel? We have over 160 touring itineraries all around the world, including options here on our doorstep in Europe and those in far-flung places like Asia, Australia, Africa and the USA. Some long-haul tours include overnight flights and can be up to a month long, whereas our short-haul itineraries can be as little eight days, with much shorter flight times, and are perfect for a break.

Touring is all about seeing the world and exploring destinations, and all our tours let you see and do more with your holiday time. However some are busier and faster paced than others, so it’s important you choose one that’s right for you. Our suitability and pace guide will give you a good idea of how active each tour is, what sort of excursions you can expect and the general level of fitness you’ll need to get the most out of every day. It also includes things like the sort of terrain you might be covering, and the amount of walking you’ll do. Remember if you’re in any doubt about whether a tour is right for you, just give us a call.

Our suitability and pace guide has been designed so you can easily choose the right holiday for you. Please contact us if you have any doubt as to your suitability for our escorted tours, and we can discuss further with you about making the right decision.

Grade 1:        Leisurely 

Our slowest and most leisurely tours. You’ll only need to unpack once as our holidays in this grade will be based at just one hotel for the entire holiday. A combination of fascinating included excursions and free days makes this ideal for those seeking a relaxed experience. Inclusions may consist of sightseeing tours, visits to museums, landmarks and cultural sights, as well as gentle boat cruises or short train journeys. We’ll aways include rest time after each included activity. 

A minimum requirement for included tours is being able to embark and disembark coaches, trains and boats without assistance, walk unaided at a steady pace or stand up to 30 minutes at a time, negotiating steps, and uneven, but mainly flat ground, including cobbles. You can opt to remain and the hotel and enjoy the facilities if you prefer. 

Grade 2:        Easy going 

Our holidays in this grade will stay in between one and three locations, usually with multiple nights in each location. Itineraries include a mix of included activities and free time to relax or explore on your own. These holidays are perfect for those who want to take it easy but also want to enjoy longer-day excursions, including guided walking tours, that really get to the heart of the destinations you’ll visit. There’ll usually be rest time after an included activity (please refer to the itinerary). 

You’ll need to be able to walk unaided for up to one hour on walking tours, negotiating steps, gradients and uneven ground, particularly cobbles. Tours with safari elements may be in this grade and you’ll need to be able to embark and disembark safari vehicles without assistance. Safaris will normally have early morning starts, but we’ll ensure regular rest stops are in place. 

Grade 3:        Active traveller 

A good level of fitness is required. You’ll be staying in multiple locations on your escorted holiday, in destinations around that 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. 

Some activities will take all day and may include extended walking tours. We may also have activities on consecutive days. Terrain will vary dependant on your destination and could be rough, especially when exploring archaeological sites, national parks or coastal areas. 

We’ll also include free time for you to recharge or to explore independently, and we’ll always include rest breaks on longer activities. You’ll need to be able to undertake several hours of activities each day on varied terrain, with prolonged periods of standing, and there’ll be some early starts and later finishes and consecutive one-night stays. These holidays are not suitable for those with significant mobility issues, although you may be able to abstain from activities on certain tours if you choose to do so. Small ship cruises also fall into this category due to the steep steps onboard, the requirement to walk across ships when in dock; and the included walking tours. 

Grade 4:         Adventurer 

Some of our most active holidays are at this grade. Similar to Grade 3, these holidays may also include areas of sustained higher altitude. If you enjoy active holidays and are 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.   

Some destinations may be relatively remote, meaning support might be a little further away. There’ll be free time too, but the focus on these tours is to see more and do more. Be prepared for an increased number of early starts and later finishes, and more one-night stays on consecutive days. 

Touring doesn’t have to mean moving from one place to another every day. Our Stay and Explore holidays stay in just one or two hotels, with a range of included excursions in and around the area. They’re ideal if you want a holiday where you really get to know the destination and make the most of your time there.

Some people love the idea of finding little local restaurants or tavernas to eat out or go for a drink while they’re on holiday. Others prefer to know it’s all included, so they don’t need to budget or worry about those things while they’re away. We cater for both, with tours including all your meal and drinks, and others where you make your own arrangements some or all of the time. In the US, our customers like to choose from the vast choice of different restaurants and cuisines, so these tours include fewer meals than most. You can find details of the individual meal arrangements in the What’s Included section on all our tours.

You’ve told us free time is important while you’re away - time to relax, explore independently, or take an optional excursion. That’s why we build free time into every itinerary, so you can up the pace or slow it down completely depending how you feel. You can see how much free time there is on every tour description - you’ll find it under the What’s Included section, too.

Have both! Our Cruise & Tour itineraries give you the best of both worlds, by combining an exciting overland touring itinerary with the chance to experience the best in ocean cruising. Combine an Alaska cruise with a Rocky Mountains adventure, all the fun of Florida with island-hopping in the Caribbean, an African safari with the treasures of the South African coast … these are the ultimate have-it-all holidays.

Once you’ve found your perfect adventure, it’s easy to book with us online or over the phone. After that, you can keep track of your booking, make payments and find all the information you need on things like visas and flights by logging into the My Booking section on our website with your name and booking reference.

It’s important that everyone feels happy and comfortable whilst travelling with us, so please ensure you familiarise yourself with our booking conditions, as well as your obligations to provide accurate and up-to-date information relating to your health. Lastly, to be fair to everyone on our escorted group holidays, our tour managers and staff cannot provide one-to-one physical support or care to individuals.
