Tips from our over 50s travelers


“Having never undertaken an activity vacation (and both in our sixties) being encouraged and guided by 2 consummate professionals gave us a chance to try things never done before….If you don't take regular exercise be prepared to push yourself a little - but there is no pressure to do so and Craig and Xania are well able to gauge what you can and can't do. They don't make you feel inadequate if you don't try or complete all the activities. An amazing experience and it has given us an incentive to consider how we become fitter, eat more vegetarian dishes and how invigorating it is to try new things. Never too late to try!” - Veronica Thompson on our Croatia vacation, activity week


“Go for it! My other half doesn't cycle routinely and she was fine (we're both late fifties and averagely fit). If your legs get tired you can always walk for a bit and in any case you'll want to stop, look & take photos quite a bit. If you want an interesting vacation with some activity then this is for you. As well as this, the surroundings, food and wine are just great.” - Paul Millner on our Catalonia self guided cycling vacation, Spain
“The Marquesa Islands are amazing. The cultural shows and dances superb. The 10 mile hike is very worth doing but is not easy. If you are booking dormitory accommodation be aware that the top bunks are very confined. They are difficult to get in and out of (particularly if you are over 65) and only have a clearance of about 30 inches.” – William Bainbridge, on a French Polynesia cruise
