Private holidays and bespoke tours

On a private holiday, you have a dizzying variety of destinations from which to choose, free of prescriptive tour routes. So, how do you decide where to go?

To narrow down your options, peruse our Month-by-Month guide. This highlights the ideal places to visit at different times of the year, based on factors such as the climate, wildlife, and cultural events.

Or simply browse our Destinations to delve into the continents, regions and countries that pique your interest.

Alternatively, rather than the where, you could make the how and the what your starting point. Swap the plane for the train, go solo for the first time, join locals for a celebration, or choose another way to break old travel habits.

DREAM

Where in the world is tempting you? You may have ideas already, or you may be starting with a blank slate. For that vital spark of inspiration, browse suggested itineraries on our website, request our free brochure, or ask our well- travelled consultants for their up-to-date recommendations.

DESIGN

Next, we turn the dream into a mapped-out reality. Our specialists will work with you to decide the right activities, hotels, and pacing. Once you’re happy, secure your holiday with a deposit – safe in the knowledge that we are ABTA bonded and ATOL protected – and revel in the buzz of anticipation.

EXPLORE

The best bit: enjoying your destination at leisure. We support you throughout your bespoke holiday, from departure to arrival to return. Cox & Kings representatives remain available 24/7 – on the ground, online and over the phone – should you need us. Enjoy the journey.

Recommended itineraries

With an abundance of choice, it can be daunting designing a holiday from scratch. Instead, you may wish to use one of the tailor-made itineraries below as a starting point.

We can adapt each one as much as you wish, whether you want to travel a different route, extend or shorten your stay, include or exclude particular activities, choose alternative hotels, and so on. All of our group tours are also available on a private basis, and can be adapted into tailor-made holidays.

Our travel consultants will speak to you about the many options available. Each suggested itinerary features an indicative price, to give you an idea of budget, and we will provide a comprehensive quote that reflects any changes you wish to make.
