The Journeys of Distinction Style
Journeys of Distinction have worked long and hard to gain an enviable reputation as the leader in quality, fully-escorted tours. Our aim is to enrich our clients' travel experience by broadening their knowledge and fulfilling their dreams. We strive to create unique and imaginative tour itineraries, and we are confident you will not find more leisurely escorted tours to the destinations we visit. We know we are not alone in making such claims, but we will endeavour to explain our philosophy further....
There are many reasons why you may be thinking of booking a fully-escorted tour to a far-flung country. Perhaps this is the once-in-a-lifetime holiday that you have always promised yourselves, and you are now finally in a position to turn your dreams into reality; perhaps you are seasoned globe-trotters and this is the next destination on your wish-list. Maybe you have been inspired by a book or a film...whatever your reason, Journeys of Distinction appreciate that this is not a decision to be taken lightly.
What sets Journeys of Distinction apart is the leisurely way in which we conduct our tours. This is your holiday, and it should be just that - a relaxing, stress-free experience. With that in mind, taking a tour with Journeys of Distinction gives you the freedom to relax and travel with the confidence of knowing that all your needs have been anticipated.
The experience begins as soon as you first pick up the telephone to request one of our brochures. Our friendly and efficient reservations consultants are there to assist you: from "How much does it cost to travel in Business Class on this tour?" to "Where is the best place in New Zealand to go whale watching?' - whatever your enquiry, there will always be someone on hand with helpful advice.
Once on tour, you will of course be accompanied throughout by one of our own Tour Managers, as well as being driven around your chosen destination by our highly experienced Coach Captains, selected for their safe driving skills above all, as well as their local knowledge and informative, entertaining commentary. On touring days, Journeys of Distinction operates a sensible and fair policy of daily seat rotation, ensuring that everyone has a variety of views.
Journeys of Distinction appreciate that on a touring holiday, you will stay in a number of different hotels. Therefore we take care of all your porterage, leaving you to relax safe in the knowledge that your cases will be transferred smoothly throughout your tour.
The leisurely aspect of your tour is always paramount, and our itineraries are carefully designed to allow for plenty of free time. Time for you to explore under your own steam; to really discover a sense of place; maybe to meet up with friends and family you haven't seen for years. Or even time to do absolutely nothing - after all, it's your holiday. Journeys of Distinction never 'pad out' a traveling day unnecessarily, always aiming to arrive at the next hotel in time for you to get a feel for your new surroundings and enjoy the facilities offered by your hotel.
Nevertheless, the main reason you will be visiting a particular destination is to see the best that country can show you. Taking an escorted tour with Journeys of Distinction means that you will be joining a group of discerning and like-minded travellers, all of whom are eager to embrace a unique travel experience and to discover different cultures, people and landscapes. Together, your shared experiences will create memories and bonds that endure long after your holiday is over.
We are delighted that you are considering allowing Journeys of Distinction to make your travel dreams a reality, and now that you are ready to explore further, please click on any of the featured destinations to find the perfect escorted tour for you...
