Top Trip Ideas for Senior Travellers

Of course Rome is already on your bucket list – but where will you tackle next? Instead of shimmying south, explore Italy’s northern highlights on this senior-friendly Rail Trip. Feast on Tuscan cuisine and wander through vineyards with your new favourite wine. Snap a picture of Ponte Vecchio in Florence before gorging on gourmet delights in Bologna and Parma. Finally, reflect on your trip – and keep an eye out for George Clooney – on a boat ride across Lake Como.

Adventure to the Galápagos Islands for the ultimate in nature exploration. Roam among 100-year-old giant tortoises in El Chato nature reserve.

After spending five days hopping between the islands on this seniors trip, you’ll leave with a new perspective on life and planet Earth. It’s time to start practising your David Attenborough impression!
