Small Group Touring: Shared Discovery, Seamless Travel
Our tours carefully curated to reveal the soul of a destination. With group sizes typically limited to 16–20 guests, these journeys strike the perfect balance between sociability, cultural depth, and comfort.
Itineraries are paced for discovery—not rush—allowing time to engage meaningfully with local traditions, landscapes, and people. From classical India and the temples of Japan to the history-soaked cities of Europe and the wonders of Latin America, each group tour is designed with insight, featuring hand-picked hotels, well-planned routes, and experienced local guides who bring each destination to life.
Everything is taken care of, from airport transfers in destination and luggage handling to included meals and excursions, ensuring you travel in comfort and confidence.
Low Single Supplements: Luxury Without the Price Tag
Cox & Kings understands that solo travellers often face prohibitively high single supplements—and they’re changing the game. On many of their most popular group tours, Cox & Kings offers low or no single supplements, making it easier for independent travellers to join in without paying a premium.
This solo-friendly pricing structure makes it possible to enjoy the same luxurious accommodation, guided touring, and cultural experiences as other guests, without compromise. It’s a welcome invitation for solo adventurers who want to explore the world on their own terms—while enjoying the safety and camaraderie of a group setting.
Solo Touring: Travel Independently, Never Alone
Solo travel can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences, and Cox & Kings makes it easy, safe, and inspiring. With decades of experience in crafting holidays for individual travellers, they offer a wide range of options perfectly suited to solo explorers.
For those who want the structure of a group trip but the ease of travelling alone, Cox & Kings’ small group tours are ideal. You’ll meet like-minded travellers, share unforgettable moments, and still have time for personal reflection.
Prefer something more private? Opt for a tailor-made solo journey—completely customised to your pace, interests, and preferred level of interaction. Whether it’s a walking tour through the vineyards of Tuscany, a wildlife safari in Botswana, or a cultural deep-dive in Morocco, the options are limitless.
Specialist-Led Tours: Travel with the Experts
For travellers looking to go beyond the surface, Cox & Kings offers a unique collection of Specialist-Led Tours—hosted by historians, archaeologists, authors, and other field experts. These journeys provide unparalleled access and in-depth commentary on specific themes, such as ancient civilisations, art and architecture, music, religion, or political history.
Explore Egypt’s archaeological wonders alongside a professional Egyptologist. Discover the Silk Road’s lost cities with a cultural historian. Join a photojournalist for a visual tour of Vietnam and Cambodia. These tours don’t just show you the world—they offer a rare opportunity to learn from those who know it best.
With thoughtfully chosen routes, lecture-style briefings, and exclusive access, these tours are ideal for curious minds and lifelong learners.
