What is an escorted tour?
On an escorted tour participants travel together as a group and are always accompanied by a professional escort, who is responsible for ensuing that the tour goes smoothly. Generally, the itinerary for each day is planned in advance. If you are the kind of person who doesn’t like surprises and prefers to leave the details to someone else, this is the perfect kind of trip for you. Escorted tours are also great for solo travelers, such as singles or seniors, who want to see the world but would also welcome the chance to share the experience with fellow travelers. Many escorted tours focus on a specific area of interest, such as wine tasting in France, cathedrals in Europe, or ruins of Mexico.
