Travel & Tours

If something on the schedule doesn’t interest you, you are not obligated to participate. I skipped a big castle tour in Edinburgh in favor of wandering around the nooks and crannies of the city instead. That said, most people choose to participate because the excursions are fun. The only rule is that you must move from hotel to hotel with the group. No one gets left behind.

For the most part, the answer is yes. So far, I’ve been on tours with people who are vegetarian and gluten-free. If you have very strict or life-threatening allergies, I would suggest you contact Holiday Vacations directly to make sure this experience will meet your needs.

I’m delighted you asked. Even a small group with the same interests can enhance the overall experience. It’s fun to chat and hang out with other people who also love old houses and geek out over history and architecture. For the past two trips, our small old house travel family has been absorbed into the rest of the tour of independent travelers. We’ve had dinners together and spent time walking around siteseeing in the off hours too. I try to plan a little something just for us, too.  

 

 At the very least, I’ll be a built-in travel friend, so there will be at least one person you already know. I’ll grease the wheel in social situations.
