Which of our holidays are best for families and friend groups?

Some of the best travel experiences are the ones that are shared with loved ones, and these are the adventures that suit larger groups best.  

Having operated award-winning escorted tours for over 40 years, we're advocates for all types of travel, but there's something special about sharing experiences alongside the people who matter to you most. With that in mind, our team has picked out six tours that work brilliantly for bigger groups, so you can enjoy the trip together without the hassle. 

The best holidays for larger groups 

Wimbledon Tennis Break – Three Days 

Where to start but the UK? Tennis enthusiasts and families alike can experience the pomp and pageantry of Finals Weekend on No. 1 Court with our exclusive Wimbledon packages. Whoever you choose to travel with, be it your doubles partner or your grandchildren, there’s more than just the tennis to enjoy around this prestigious sporting venue.

Learn more about the UK’s lawn-tennis tradition, savour some of the tournament’s famous strawberries and cream, or soak up the atmosphere in Wimbledon Village. No matter your group size, there’s sure to be something to suit all tastes with a stop in Wimbledon.

Amsterdam & the Dutch Bulbfields 

With easy access by air or by Eurostar, Amsterdam is one of those European cities that makes larger group travel refreshingly simple. Lined by its famous canals, coffee shops and museums, it’s also packed with memorable ways to spend your time.

Those visiting in the spring will be able to see the Netherlands’ famous tulip fields in bloom, and with a visit to Keukenhof, the world’s largest flower garden, you’ll have themed displays and outdoor spaces to soak up at your own pace. The gardens are remarkably accessible as well, so rest assured no one will need to miss out on its seven million blooms.

Portofino, Florence & Tuscany 

Based in an elegant resort in the Tuscan spa town of Montecatini Terme for a week, this single-centre escape offers larger groups one of the most varied Italian experiences in our collection. This region also features one of the highest concentrations of wish-list sights in Europe, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to Florence’s Renaissance wonders, and they’re the kind of spots that simply never get old.

With several excursions and coach travel included in the price, you can spend less time planning and more time making memories with the people who matter most.

Elvis Presley’s Memphis, New Orleans & Nashville  

Splitting time between New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville, this all-American road trip promises plenty of toe-tapping highlights for friends and family groups to connect over. It’s not just the Elvis enthusiasts that’ll enjoy either, there’s no shortage of attractions to keep the whole group entertained across your stay.

Feel the buzz of Beale Street’s famous live-music venues, encounter the local wildlife with an alligator-spotting excursion in the Louisiana Bayou, and chart the rise of the USA’s biggest stars. No matter who you travel with, these are the experiences that bring groups together.

On Safari in South Africa – Babanango & Zululand – Premier 

While every safari holiday is worth taking the family on, our brand-new option, On Safari in South Africa – Babanango & Zululand – Premier, is uniquely intimate. Staying at the refined Valley Lodge, which sleeps just 18 travellers at a time, larger groups can enjoy a more exclusive stay in the South African bush.

Plus, with 11 open-air game drives and excursions offering you the best chance to see Africa’s famous ‘Big Five’ in their natural habitat, you’ll be perfectly placed to make memories that last forever. You’ll also delve deeper into the history of KwaZulu-Natal with a tour of the battlefields that shaped the region.

Malaysia, Singapore & Desaru Beach Escape – Premier 

With eight days’ sightseeing across Kuala Lumpur, Malacca and Singapore, and a decadent three-night resort stay on the Desaru Coast, this trip promises the type of experiences that stay with you long after you’ve returned home. The best part, though, is that each one is well-suited to travellers of all ages, and this delightful part of Southeast Asia is just as impressive for younger family members as it is for the adults.

The best part, though, is that Malaysia and Singapore promise plenty of family-friendly experiences for all ages, from food tours of the traditional hawker markets to time spent amongst the magnificent Gardens by the Bay.
