Independent Touring Holidays
Are you seeking total freedom from your next touring holiday? Independent touring gives you the flexibility to pick and choose exactly what you want to see and do and how to spend your time exploring. You can therefore travel at your own pace, opting to really get to know a destination before discovering the next. Touring independently is also a brilliant way of travelling with your friends and family instead of the group of strangers you’d be sharing accommodation and transport with as part of an escorted tour.
Let us inspire you with these incredible independent tour ideas encompassing some of our own favourite destinations in Asia and Europe. Each will feature a suggested itinerary, but are completely bespoke to your personal requirements.
