What do we mean by over 50s vacations?

The reason we have written this Over 50s vacations guide is to share with you some of our favourite spots or activities that you may not have thought about already, for whatever reason. Maybe your children have just reached the age when vacations en famille are not the cool thing to do. You may have spent the last 10 to 20 years of vacations seeing relatives, camping, booking a resort, or renting a house with friends in the country. Because the kids love that. But now you have, hopefully, a bit more time to think about the types of trips you want to do.

We also want to take this opportunity to sing the praises of small group vacations. Sometimes, the notion of a small group vacation makes 50-somethings nervous. Memories of 18-30s vacations, or worse, school trips. But the world has changed. Small group vacations run by responsible companies have really sussed not only sustainability, but also solo travel and mixed generational travel.

On a small group vacation, which could be anything from hiking the Tour de Mont Blanc, to traversing Indochina, everything is taken care of. The companies we represent on Responsible Travel know their destinations like the back of their hand, work with local experts, know the best times to travel, how to avoid the crowds, how to keep you safe and, very importantly, how to make sure you have the time of your life.
