Hassle Free Travel @ My Travel Expo
Whether it is a trip through the heartland of America, the medieval cities of Europe, the ancient cities of South America or the lands of the Maharajah, a lot of people find the thought of how to connect one location with the next, and what to do in those locations exhausting. How to I get from Paris to Cologne? Will I have to wait in a long queue at the Taj Mahal? How many places can I reasonably see in Washington in a day?
Sometimes, when you are ready to experience a location – be in a new country, or part of your own, what you really want is to sit back and relax, enjoy the sights and sounds and let someone else worry about how you get between places, or what you are doing for breakfast. Which is where group touring is a fantastic way to experience locations around the world!
There are large group tour operators who offer a number of destinations across the world – their inclusions range for the all inclusive luxury style packages of APT, Scenic and Insight Vacations, to the good quality programmes of AAT Kings, Travelmarvel, Globus, Wendy Wu Tours and Trafalgar that cover what you want to see but may not include as many meals or drinks.
For the more budget conscious or those who enjoy a bit of adventure, but like the security of having someone there to look after your problems there are slew of operators running everything from small to large groups like Cosmos or Peregrine, or smaller groups and more intimate experiences with companies like G-Adventures or Intrepid.
Then you have your dedicated small group tour operators that use good quality accommodation, and tie off the ability to see fantastic sights with an intimate touring experience, or a unique focus on the touring, such as is available through operators like Back-Roads Touring, the Africa Safari Co, or National Geographic Journeys by G-Adventures.
Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas. Small groups, adventurous travel, luxury travel, large groups, short tours and longer voyages. There is a group tour out there for everyone, whether its the desire to hike around the Inca Trail or relax in Luxury as you cruise the Danube, there are group programmes available for every style of traveller – and no better way to let someone else worry about the little things while you enjoy the opportunity to explore, visit and make new connections.
So if exploring the world in good company sounds like something you are interested in then now is the time to come and speak with the wide range of group travel experts that will for one night only be accessible at ..

My Travel Expo Exclusives!
What a fantastic Travel Expo, over a dozen suppliers, 3 hours of steady visitors and some absolutely fantastic early birds, packages and deals. For those that are seeking a few exclusive deals here are some from our Expert connections available only to travellers jetting off with My Travel Expert that book within the next week!
Discover Asia with Peregrine
Peregrine as we have said has a fantastic range of product available for the single traveller, including Asia. Myanmar, Thailand, India, Nepal, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and more – they have an incredible product range, and as discussed for solo travellers they can match you up with other singles on their tours, and if they don’t in many cases (but not all) they do not charge a single supplement!
Discover Africa with Peregrine
Just expanding on our last post about Peregrine, and reminding you that they have a number of fantastic programmes out there for the single traveller where they will attempt to share you up with a stranger – and in most (but not all) cases waive the single supplement if they are unable to find you a room-mate.
One of the areas that they handle well is Africa covering the regular tourist routes in the South and East Africa as well those a bit more off the beaten track including Ethiopia, West Africa and the North African Coastline including Algeria, Egypt and Morocco.
Discover Europe With Peregrine
We spoke a little while ago about how great it is that Travel Indochina has a “Share with Stranger” policy on their tours. Another company that does something similar is Peregrine .. who also have a match up policy on all of their departures. With many of those departures they will try and match you up with a like-minded traveller, and if they are unable to on most tours they will still get you away without a single supplement – though some may still require a small additional payment.
Unlike Travel Indochina the great thing about Peregrine is that their reach extends beyond Asia with tours available in Europe, Africa, South America, and North America .. so if you are a single traveller looking for a fantastic trip to a destination with a lot to offer, and with enough free time compared to group touring time then Peregrine may have the option for you!
