Worldwide Tours in Autumn

Explore

With steamy, congested summer long gone, it's time for the savvy traveller to take a quiet, relaxing break exploring the globe.

You could witness the vibrant colours as leaves change from green to brilliant shades of red, orange and gold - a picturesque backdrop to your travel - in regions such as North America and parts of Asia. With peak summer tourist season over and done with (and schools back in session), you can enjoy a quieter atmosphere more reflective of the local life. Learn about the ancient civilisation that carved intricate facades out of the rock face in Jordan's iconic Petra, discover one of the new seven wonders of the world - the Taj Mahal - on a tour of India or take a journey along Canada's Icefields Parkway, one of the most spectacular roads in the world.

As nature starts putting itself to bed in the Northern Hemisphere, spring is just arriving in the south, bringing with it beautiful sunshine and comfortable temperatures - the perfect recipe for exploration. If you're looking for a warmer climate, destinations like Australasia, South Africa and South America should be high on your list. Each is home to vibrant cultures, epic landscapes and rich histories, and we'll dive into all of it with our expertly crafted itineraries. You'll enjoy memorable experiences, including visiting the legendary Machu Picchu, a helicopter ride over the powerful Victoria Falls and a scenic train ride across New Zealand's Southern Alps.
