Worldwide Escorted Tours in 2026

Journey further in 2026. From the neon pulse of Seoul to the mist-shrouded peaks of Nepal, experience the world’s most iconic destinations now with 10% off for a limited time only.

At Riviera Travel, we believe a 2026 getaway should be more than a change of scenery; it should be a perfectly crafted chapter in your story. Our travel experts have curated 47 extraordinary itineraries across 30+ destinations, balancing the 'must-sees' with those rare, authentic moments you won't find in a guidebook.

Whether it's your first time in Asia or a return to the wilds of Africa, you’ll travel with the security of a Which? Recommended Provider and the intimacy of our Signature Small Groups averaging just 22 guests.

We make worldwide travel easy. 

Our itineraries, designed with local experts, perfectly balance discovery and relaxation. From rainforest eco-lodges to seaplanes and Jeeps—every detail is managed by an expert Tour Manager. Enjoy hand-picked hotels and insider excursions led by local guides who bring each destination to life.

Smaller Groups, deeper connections

New for 2026 we have reduced our group sizes down to just 36 on a classic tour, and just 22 on our Signature tours. So you’ll enjoy a more personal experience, faster access to sights, and the flexibility to truly immerse yourself in local life.

Everything included

We handle the logic so you can focus on the magic. Your 2026 tour price includes return flights, hand-picked 4 and 5-star hotels, curated itineraries with authentic experiences, meals, and the constant support of an expert Tour Manager.

From September 2026 we are now offering regional flights from Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham as well as London on selected holidays to make your next memorable experience even more accessible.
