Escorted tours & touring holidays

Perfectly planned group adventures

Why just take a holiday when you can see and do so much more on a tour? A Saga escorted tour gets you closer to your destination by showcasing not just the sights, but also the area's history, culture, character and flavours.

Each tour is a carefully planned balance of exploration and relaxation, with a range of included excursions as well as days at leisure. You’ll be escorted throughout by an expert tour manager, who’s there to make sure everything runs smoothly and offer any help or advice you need along the way.

We arrange everything, from your tour travel and hotels to selected meals, visits and excursions. And with VIP door-to-door transfers included on every tour, your holiday is hassle-free from home.

We offer escorted tours in all corners of the world, with itineraries designed for all kinds of travellers. If you want to delve deeply into your chosen destination, perhaps choose a Stay & Explore tour, where you explore an area from just one or two hotels, or a small group tour that offers a more intimate, immersive experience. There are small ship tours (offering an almost ‘private yacht’ experience), Cruise & Tour combinations, and even private jet tours, where itineraries feature exclusive experiences and exquisite five-star hotels.

Great value is a cornerstone of every Saga holiday, and our escorted tours are no different. We include almost everything in the price, even travel insurance and VIP door-to-door transfers, so you can relax and concentrate on enjoying your tour. Every escorted tour is different, so you’ll find full details on the individual holiday pages, but as a minimum here’s what’s included: 

  • VIP door-to-door transfers  

  • Travel insurance§  

  • Selected meals  

  • A programme of excursions, visits and free time  

  • Expert tour manager  

  • Accommodation and travel in destination  

  • Return flights and transfers. 

§ Includes travel insurance underwritten by Astrenska Insurance Limited or a reduction if not required. Cover is subject to medical screening. 

Our all-inclusive tours make it easy to budget for your holiday. We include even more in the price of these escorted tours, from all your meals and drinks to a comprehensive programme of excursions. This means you’ll only need spending money for extras like optional excursions, treats and souvenirs.

Saga has over 70 years’ experience in the travel industry and our expertise is unrivalled. We know what’s important to our customers, which is why we make every stage of your escorted tour hassle-free. With Saga, you don’t have to worry about things like travel insurance, visas and getting to and from the airport. We take care of all the details, so you don’t have to.

You don’t have to be super-fit, but we do recommend a good level of fitness to join some of our more intrepid or active tours. To help you choose, we give each tour a rating from 1-3, based on the pace and included activities you can expect.

Pace 1 - leisurely

These include mostly short days and days at leisure. They may involve walking reasonable distances, sometimes over uneven ground, and negotiating stairs. There may be periods of standing. You might also be required to get on and off different types of transport.

Pace 2 - moderate icon

Days are longer and excursions may require moderate walking at a steady pace. You might be required to walk further distances, sometimes over mixed terrain, and up and down stairs.

Pace 3 - faster icon

You’ll need a good level of fitness and mobility in order to partake in physical activities. These could include longer walking tours over greater distances and hikes or treks over challenging terrain and varying inclines.

Every one of our escorted tours is unique. So please check the individual holiday page to find out more. And if you have any questions, you can give us a call – we’ll be happy to help.
