Whether that's going down the traditional route of a coastal break with time at the beach, indulging in the lakeside life, or perhaps enjoying the thrilling buzz of big city life. Wherever your mood takes you, we have a tour that forms the perfect backdrop to your next adventure.

Here are some suggestions of tours that include from landscapes made for solitude to places with a little more action. You never know you're favourite place in the whole world could be waiting for you below, you just don't know it yet...

Secret Slovenia

Inhale the fresh mountain air of the Julian Alps, as part of a whole day in the great outdoors on the Secret Slovenia tour. We'll drive through the valleys and over a mountain pass, in the build up to reaching the summit.

The staggering views will take your breath away, so make sure you soak it all up - you'll feel like you're on top of the world!

Lake Garda, Verona and Hidden Gems of the Veneto

It's all in the name, and your base in Gardone on Lake Garda is an idyllic retreat to slow the pace down and really take in your surroundings. There's plenty of time on this tour to wander or hop around the lake via ferry, but you can make it your mission to find your own secret spot.

With quaint villages and mountain scenes dotted in between, you'll have plenty of tranquil scenes to admire. If you're not really a fan of lying on the beach, a lakeside holiday still gives you the rejuvenating feeling of fresh sea air, without the faff of getting sand in your shoes - and that sounds good to us!

Walking the Camino de Santiago

If your favourite weekend pastime is to set off on a ramble in the British countryside, but you'd like the guarantee of warmer weather to really reach your happy goals, this Spanish walking adventure might be that tour.

With vineyards and fields stretching out as far as the eye can see, only interspersed by a sprinkling of Medieval towns and villages, there is plenty to capture your attention on this active break. And as we said earlier, it's all in a name, so towards the end of your tour, a visit to Mount of Joy makes a fitting finish to Day Six of your break. This is the first point that pilgrims can view Santiago de Compostela - a reminder that the end goal of your walking tour is in sight!

Croatia and the Makarska Riviera

If your happy place is enjoying a little island adventure, this Croatian tour includes time on Pag Island to uncover more about traditional production, and the unspoilt island of Brac.

It's almost like time has stood still in many parts of Croatia, not just its islands. In places like Krka National Park it's like nature has claimed its rightful crown over the landscape. Waterfalls such as the mighty Skradinski Buk, mammals including the endangered European otter, plus ancient trees and vibrant plants dominate the area. This national park will easily slide its way into your favourite holiday memories.

Cruising the Seine - Paris and Northern France

With wild romantic countryside and towns packed with timber-framed houses from the 15th-century - if your heart and mind are drawn more to history and the charm of enchanting places with their own stories to tell, places like Le Havre, Honfleur and Rouen will form your reel of highlights on this cruise.

And with the opportunity to wake up somewhere new each day with a different ancient town to discover, you'll be completely in your element.

New York City

We're switching up the pace now, with the bright lights and city sights of the Big Apple. This is the ideal option if you like the fast-paced nature of a big city, where modern and sleek skyscrapers vie for space between grandiose buildings from years gone by. New York will have your neck craning for every possible angle and perspective.

In metropolis' like New York, there's so many choices of experiences and encounters, one minute you're enjoying the green open space of Central Park, the next you're stood in Grand Central Station to admire all its marble finery as commuters and tourists rush on past. A place to watch the world go by, this is definitely a place where the beauty of the unexpected reigns supreme.

Costa Rica

If your favourite holiday memories to date include making connections with people, places and wildlife, our Costa Rica tour ticks all three boxes. 

You'll visit a number of national parks for guided tours that will introduce you to the flora and fauna that call it home here. There's also a number of encounters with local communities, including the Bribri tribe to enjoy lunch and discover how they make their own varieties of chocolate, and the opportunity to speak to staff at a coffee plantation to learn how coffee is cultivated here.

This tour reveals incredible insights into the people and landscapes, and if you prefer a tour which delves well beneath the surface of the tourist sights to unlock more authentic experiences - this is very much that tour.

Canada

Our Rocky Mountaineer adventure can be defined as a tour of dramatic scenery as you journey from Calgary to Vancouver.

From the huge pine forests, snow-capped peaks and glistening lakes of Banff National Park, to passing canyons and waterfalls from the comfort of your train, it's unbelievable just how much the scenery changes, and reveals something new at every twist and turn.

We finish up in Vancouver, and it's no wonder we're featuring this in our happy place line up, given its credentials as being one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Its unique location surrounded by forests, mountains and waterfronts earns it serious brownie points, and remarkably even with the skyscrapers dotted around, it all just works. And with a dynamic culture, vibrant dining scene and wide open spaces from Stanley Park to local beaches, it feels as if you could want for nothing here.

Thailand
