Discover the top reasons why you should join us for your next getaway.

Every detail is taken care of

When it comes to planning a trip, most of us just want to get out there and explore with as little hassle as possible. Many of the the group tours offered through Journeys by CAA Niagara allow you to do just that. From deciding where to stay and eat to scheduling visits to world-famous sites and attractions, our team has done the research and thought out every detail.

Prefer to explore at your own pace? No problem! Many of our tours offer additional free time, so you and your travel companions can decide if you fancy a trip to a museum, a challenging hike or an afternoon relaxing by the pool. Our Group Tour Planners are always available to make recommendations to ensure you can make the most out of your trip.

Trusted Tour Directors

Sometimes, a little guidance can make life a whole lot easier, a concept our experienced Tour Directors understand. Many of our tours come with 24-hour support from a Tour Director who handles all of the details, from hotel check-ins to route navigation, so travellers can sit back and relax the entire trip. Travellers can turn to their Tour Director with any questions about the journey – even for something as simple as a restaurant suggestion for lunch. Journeys' Tour Directors works closely with local guides to make sure each passenger is enjoying their trip to the fullest and is always more than happy to snap an Instagram-worthy group pic when your selfie arm simply isn’t long enough.

Meet new people with similar interests

Group tours bring together all kinds of individuals who share a similar passion - travelling! Grouping like-minded people together makes it easy to make new friends and share your journey with. While the notion of getting on a coach with a group of strangers may sound intimidating, it is actually a great way to meet people that you would not necessarily encounter.

Fun and compatible travellers are sometimes the missing link to the perfect vacation! With five distinct tour types (Adventure, Family, Relaxation, Sports and Tuxedo Classic) that are tailored to specific interests and lifestyles, it won't be hard to make new friends along the way!

Cost effective travel options

What many travellers don’t realize is that you can take advantage of group pricing by travelling at the same time as others. Simply put, group travel can be more cost effective. Tour operators are able to receive group rates on accommodations, attractions and transportation because of a little economic principle called buying power. You may have noticed while shopping at a market that the cost of a product is reduced when purchasing multiples of the same product. It’s a similar idea when travelling in a group. Also, with a pre-planned and prepaid itinerary, travellers are not constantly reaching into their pockets to cover additional costs, which can quickly add up. 

Whether you’re coordinating a family reunion, joining a pre-arranged tour, or planning a getaway with friends, travelling with a group can simplify your vacation and save you money.
