What if you could experience it all on one holiday? On Saga's award-winning escorted tours you really do get to immerse yourself in each destination. Our carefully crafted itineraries have been created so that one minute you could be feeling the sand beneath your feet on a tropical beach, then the next, spotting sloths in a rainforest; rubbing shoulders with royalty in an Indian palace – then searching for Bengal tigers.
We don’t want you to just tick off a list of places, we want you to experience them – meet the locals, see the best sights, explore at your own pace and get time to relax, too.
No two Saga tours are the same – and wherever you choose to go, we’ll be there to expertly guide you. From flights, excursions, selected meals, and even a home service pick up and drop off transfer service included in the price, all you have to do it worry about what to pack.
If you recently caught us on the TV, you’ll see how excited we are to share more about two popular holidays from our escorted tour collection. Read on to find out what you could be doing in the USA or Croatia...

Nothing is formal and our tour managers are there to make sure everyone is relaxed and enjoying every moment.
Group sizes do vary by destination, however, on average there are around 35 people on a tour. We also have over 70 solo and small group holidays, too. Our small groups are limited to 24 customers [with many tours having less], while our dedicated solo departures also include a welcome drink so everyone can get to know one another on the first evening.
We have a great mix of both – and you’ll be able to see for yourself with our pace guides across all our itineraries. For those wanting to relax a little more, we also have Stay & Explore options, where you only have to unpack the once. Plus, on many of our tours, we’ve included free time – so you may want to read a book by the pool, or go and explore by yourself – the choice is yours.
