Tours for seniors
In our opinion, it’s never too late to add stamps to your passport. If your wanderlust has aged like a Brunello di Montalcino wine, explore our tours for seniors—itineraries designed with slower pacing in mind.
Travel at the right pace
We label each of our tours with activity levels to help you choose trips that explore your dream destinations at a speed that agrees with your body. You’ll find them on each itinerary—for a little more detail, read on.
Low
Expect gentle terrain and less walking—only about a mile a day, not including any excursions you add to your itinerary. As for activities, imagine yourself stopping and smelling the blooms at the Netherlands’ Keukenhof Gardens.
Moderate
Look forward to a great balance of steps and stops, with about two miles of walking daily and the occasional easy incline. Picture a stroll through an Italian vineyard, capped with lunch and a wine tasting.
High
Pack some comfy shoes: On these tours, you’ll walk about three miles daily over varying terrain. You’ll be on your feet for plenty of activities—like diving into Greek history by scaling the Acropolis of Athens, for example.
Very high
Walking up to five miles each day. Terrain that shifts from cobblestone streets to rocky hillside trails. Vigorous activities, like hiking along a pond in the Japanese Alps. On these tours, you’ll be on your feet more often than not.
Make yourself at home
Sometimes, a place begs you to explore every alley, avenue, and lane. Instead of taking off for your next stop, take your time on our City Stays. With minimal transfers and leisurely pacing, you can dive deep into a destination and see what makes it tick.
