Stress-free guided group tours through Europe, the UK, Asia and beyond — with expert tour directors, hand-picked hotels, and itineraries that show you the highlights without the headaches. Curated by Australia's trusted travel experts since 1992.
Escorted tours used to mean rushed coaches and pre-set menus. Today's tours are different — small enough to feel personal, well-paced enough to enjoy each city, with quality hotels and expert local guides who bring destinations to life.
For over 30 years, we've matched Australian travellers to the right tour operators — from premium Europe specialists to small-group cultural tours through Japan and Southeast Asia. The right tour for the right person makes all the difference: nobody wants three bus stops a day, nobody wants to share a room with a stranger, and nobody wants surprises on the invoice.
We know which operators genuinely deliver, what's actually included, and how to spot the trips that look good on paper but feel rushed on the ground. So you book with confidence — and travel with a group that fits.
Three simple steps and we'll match you with the right tour — so you can focus on the trip, not the logistics.
Country, region, pace, group size, budget. Whether you want to tick off Europe's classics or do a slow cultural deep-dive, we work from your wish-list.
Within one business hour, you'll have two or three carefully shortlisted options from our trusted operators — with full inclusions, group size, pace, and price clearly laid out.

"First-ever escorted tour and we couldn't have asked for more. Group of 28, brilliant tour director, perfect pace through Italy. Already planning next year's tour."
"Solo traveller, wanted company without being lonely. The team found me a small-group Japan tour — 14 of us, all Aussies, instant friends. Worth every dollar."
"The tour included Scotland, Wales, and Ireland in 15 days. Sounds rushed but the pace was actually really sensible. Loved every minute."
Quick answers to the questions Australians ask most before booking an escorted tour.
An escorted tour is a guided group trip where everything is organised for you — transport, accommodation, sightseeing, and many meals. A professional tour director travels with the group, handling logistics so you can focus on the experience.
Group sizes vary by operator and style. Standard escorted tours typically run with 25-45 travellers; small-group tours cap at 12-18 for a more intimate experience. We can match you to a group size that suits your preference.
Absolutely. Escorted tours are one of the most popular and safest options for solo travellers — you get instant company without having to organise anything yourself. Many operators offer no single supplement or matched-share rooms to reduce costs.
Most escorted tour packages from Australia range from $5,000–$15,000 per person including flights. A 14-day European highlights tour averages around $8,000–$10,000 per person; longer or more premium tours go higher.
Most packages include accommodation, daily breakfast, many dinners, all transport between destinations, sightseeing with local guides, entrance fees to major attractions, and a tour director throughout. Optional excursions are usually extra.
For peak season tours (Europe May–September, Japan cherry blossom, Canadian Rockies summer), book 9-12 months ahead. Popular tours sell out a year in advance. Off-peak departures often have more flexibility and better value.
