Luxury touring holidays: tailor-made for individuals

Expressions Holidays touring holidays offer you a suggested itinerary within a country or a combination of countries that has been put together based on our experience and knowledge as experts in the destination. A touring holiday is always an enriching experience, allowing you to witness the diversity of landscape and scenery, culture and architecture, language and way of life from one region or country to another. Expressions Holidays offers tailor-made touring holidays for individuals that are completely flexible in terms of dates and durations and tours for small groups with fixed departure dates.


For individuals, Expressions Holidays has created suggested touring holidays and itineraries that can be modified to your requirements: perhaps by adding extra nights, changing hotels, upgrading rooms, adding in experiences such as theatre, wine-tasting, local events and sightseeing tours. The way you travel in one of our touring holidays varies from country to country. In France, Italy and Spain clients will usually self-drive or fly-drive or take the train and then use a hire-car to explore locally. In Switzerland, our clients almost always travel around by train, and arrive in Switzerland either by air or train.


Touring holidays in Central and Eastern Europe are usually by train, but can be a mixture of air, train and hire-car. Further afield our touring holidays for individuals are usually a mixture of tours with driver-guide, for example as in Sri Lanka, or with guides and drivers as appropriate as in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. In Australia and New Zealand, our touring holidays for individuals are a combination of city stay, flights, perhaps a train, car-hire and private transfers. Given the size of the countries and the variety of topography, all methods of transport usually feature in every holiday.


For small groups, Expressions Holidays has created a set number of tours with fixed departure dates, that operate with a maximum of 14 passengers per departure. These tours have a special interest focus, such as wine or gardens.

Frequently Asked Questions

An Expressions touring holiday is a tailor-made journey through one or more regions or countries, staying in hand-picked hotels along a route planned by a destination specialist. Expressions has created sample itineraries for every country it features, from Provence and Tuscany to Sri Lanka and New Zealand, and each can be booked as it stands or adapted. Apart from the small group tours, there are no set departure dates: every touring holiday starts on the day that suits you and lasts as long as you wish.
Yes. Every sample itinerary for individuals is a starting point rather than a fixed package. Nights can be added or removed, hotels changed or upgraded, regions added or left out, and two itineraries can be combined. Many tours offer both luxury and value hotel options, which can be mixed to suit your budget, and experiences such as wine tastings, private guides, cookery lessons, theatre or opera tickets can be added. The route, pace and travel arrangements are then confirmed in a tailor-made quote.
Expressions offers several styles of touring holiday, chosen to suit each destination. These are fly-drive, with flights and a hire car; self-drive, taking your own car by ferry or Eurotunnel; rail touring, by train from the UK or after a flight; rail-drive, combining a train journey with a hire car at the destination; tours with a private driver-guide or with local guides and drivers; and small group tours with set departure dates. The right choice depends on the destination, the distances involved and how you prefer to travel.
A fly-drive touring holiday includes flights, a hire car and a sequence of hotels, giving the freedom to explore at your own pace while the route and accommodation are arranged in advance. It is the most popular way to tour France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, as well as Australia and New Zealand. Examples include the nine-night Palladio's Veneto tour from £3,130 per person, the 12-night Splendid Sicily tour from Taormina to Palermo from £3,860 per person, the nine-night Hidden Charms of Andalusia tour from £2,500 per person and the 14-night Best of New Zealand's South Island tour from £4,990 per person.
Yes. Self-drive touring holidays include a ferry or Eurotunnel crossing for your car and passengers, overnight stops on the way out and back, and hotels at your destination. They are most popular for France, Spain and Italy. Examples include the eight-night Dordogne self-drive holiday staying in château hotels from £1,980 per person, the 12-night Green Spain Coast and Country tour through Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia from £3,300 per person, and the 15-night Italian Lakes by Car holiday, with overnight stops in France and Switzerland, from £4,950 per person.
Rail touring holidays travel mainly by train, either all the way from London or after a flight, and suit Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia and Central and Eastern Europe. Examples include the 11-night Grand Heart of Switzerland Mountains rail tour, with the Bernina Express, Glacier Express and GoldenPass Line, from £4,100 per person, and the 11-night Venice, Florence and Rome by train holiday from about £3,560 per person. Rail-drive holidays combine the train with a hire car, such as the eight-night Avignon and Provence tour from £2,680 per person and the seven-night Piemonte and Barolo by train holiday from £2,100 per person.
A touring holiday with a driver-guide is a private tour for individuals, with an English-speaking guide who drives you from place to place and shares local knowledge along the way. It is the usual way to tour Sri Lanka, while in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, local guides accompany you at each destination and drivers take you between them. Examples include the 13-night Best of Sri Lanka tour from £3,850 per person, the 11-night Sri Lanka tour around the work of Geoffrey Bawa from £3,380 per person, and the 13-night Indochina Explorer through Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos from £5,090 per person.
Each destination suits a particular way of travelling. In France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, most clients choose fly-drive, self-drive or rail-drive, as many of the best hotels are in the countryside. Switzerland is best toured by train, and Central and Eastern Europe and Scandinavia largely by rail. In Sri Lanka, a private driver-guide is the norm, and in Vietnam a combination of guides, drivers and domestic flights. In Australia and New Zealand, distances mean that most tours combine flights, self-drive sections, trains and private transfers.
Yes. Many touring itineraries are built around a special interest, and any tour can include visits, tastings or guides on a chosen theme. Food and wine tours include the Gastronomic Tour of Aquitaine, Dordogne and Tarn, the Vineyards of Barolo and Brunello, the New Zealand Wine Country tour and the Vietnam Culinary Odyssey. Art and architecture tours include Palladio's Veneto, the Spanish Art and Architecture tour of Madrid, Bilbao and Barcelona, and the Geoffrey Bawa tour of Sri Lanka. Other themes include gardens, history, such as the Normandy landing beaches, and wildlife.
Small group tours are the only Expressions touring holidays with set departure dates. They are limited to a maximum of 14 guests and are built around a special interest, such as wine or gardens, with visits led by experienced experts or local guides. Examples include wine tours in Piemonte, Tuscany and Sicily, accompanied by a food and wine expert, and garden tours of Tuscany, the Italian Lakes and the Loire Valley. For those who prefer to travel independently, many of the same themes are also available as tailor-made holidays for individuals.
Most touring holidays last between seven and 14 nights, with longer journeys of three weeks or more in Australia and New Zealand. Two or three nights at each stop allows time to explore without spending every day travelling, and a longer stay at one hotel along the way gives the holiday a more relaxed pace. Rail and self-drive holidays from the UK include overnight stops on the outward and return journeys, which become part of the holiday rather than simply time in transit.
Each touring holiday includes the hotels and the travel arrangements for the chosen style, such as flights, trains, a ferry crossing, car hire, private transfers or a driver-guide, together with any guided visits or experiences specified. Every client receives handcrafted helpful hints and local information for the route, and one specialist consultant arranges and looks after the holiday from first enquiry to return. Holidays including a flight are protected under ATOL 3076, and non-air holidays under AFPS 6104.

Luxury touring holidays: tailor-made for individuals

Expressions Holidays offers luxury touring holidays that include a range of suggested touring itineraries for individuals and some set departures for small group tours, all created from our knowledge of the destinations and the experience of tried and tested touring holidays over the last 35 years. All the individual tours can be adapted in any way or booked as you find them. Many of the tours offer both ‘luxury’ and ‘value’ options of hotels, or you can mix and match, to suit your budget and the style of hotel you like. All these tours include our hand-picked, specially selected hotels that can be booked for single centre stays, long or short, too. Here is a summary of the types of touring holidays we offer:

Fly-drive touring holidays

Fly-drive touring holidays include flights, hotel accommodation and car-hire. These holidays are popular in countries such as France, Italy and Spain, as well as in Australia and New Zealand. In some places, there may be additional services such as private transfers, ferries or hydrofoils and train travel too.

Self-drive touring holidays

Self-drive touring holidays include a ferry or Eurotunnel crossing for your own car and passengers, and hotel accommodation. These holidays are usually to France and Spain but also to Italy, where we arrange for you to have overnight stops out and back as required.

Rail touring holidays

A rail touring holiday includes most of the travel arrangements of the itinerary being by train, so either all the way from the UK by train and rail in between places. However, it is also possible to fly one way or both and then to tour in between only by train. Switzerland, Central and Eastern Europe as well as Spain and Italy are popular destinations for a rail touring holiday.

Rail-drive touring holidays

A rail-drive touring holiday is a variation on a rail holiday in that you tend you travel from the UK and back to the UK by train and have the use of a hire-car for a touring holiday in your destination. A typical example of this is taking the Eurostar to Avignon and back but having a hire-car to tour Provence and the South of France in between. Another example might be to take the sleeper train from Paris to Milan, and then a train to Florence, where you collect a hire-car for a touring holiday of Tuscany. France and Italy are both popular destinations for a rail-drive touring holiday.

Touring holidays for individuals with driver-guide

Our touring holidays for individuals accompanied by a driver-guide or a guide and driver, depending on the location, are ideal for when you want to explore a country independently yet with having local knowledge provided along the way by an expert or when you need private local transport. In Sri Lanka our tailor-made tours include the services of an English-speaking driver-guide. In Vietnam, for example, a guide service is included in the places of interest and a driver will take you from place to place as appropriate to the itinerary.

Small group tours

Our small group tours are for a maximum of 14 passengers only and these tours have set departure dates. Our small group tours have a special interest theme, such as wine appreciation or gardens of Italy. Some of these tours are accompanied by an experienced food and wine expert for example, others include the services of local guides for visits.

Luxury touring holidays: tailor-made for individuals

Luxury holidays to Asia from Expressions Holidays aim to provide you with the opportunity to experience the real flavour of a country, to marvel at its culture and heritage, to absorb its scenery and to taste its way of life. The cities of Asia are vibrant and intoxicating, contrasting dynamic modernism with remnants of a more rustic past. The countryside echoes a more traditional way of life, particularly in more remote areas such as the Sapa in Vietnam, the rainforests of northern Thailand and the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia. There are dramatic seascapes at Ha Long Bay, Pangkor Laut and Koh Samui. There are ancient temples and palaces in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Hue, Hoi An and Angkor Wat. The countries of Asia hold countless delights that Expressions Holidays can help you to discover.

Countries of Asia

Cambodia has thrown its arms open the world, welcoming visitors with an enthusiasm and warmth and that makes holidaying here – even without its myriad attractions – an extraordinary joy. Cambodia’s people may be the country’s principle asset, their unbreakable spirit and infectious optimism prevailing against all odds, but it is Angkor Wat for which the country is probably best known – and understandably so. Siem Reap and Phnom Penh may be Cambodia’s main urban draws, but Cambodia’s spirit is essential rural, and the countryside is the best place to experience the rhythm of rural life and timeless landscapes of dazzling rice paddies and swaying sugar palms.
Hong Kong is teeming with people, cluttered with traffic, festooned in neon and dizzying with towering skyscrapers. It can be overwhelming at first, but swim with the current, navigate your way through its alleys and along its bay, and you’ll find a fascinating city that is endlessly enchanting. Perhaps Hong Kong’s most intriguing asset is its people, scurrying between offices and home, swarming its Central Market, gathering for dawn Tai Chi in the park, working the junks anchored in the harbour, flocking to the floating restaurants and bars after work.
Malaysia conjures up images of jungles brimming with exotic life, clippers cutting through the South China Sea and sultans sitting in opulent palaces, yet today is a place of thrusting, modern self-confidence. Two countries for the price of one, Malaysia is cleaved in half by the South China Sea, dividing the country into two distinctive worlds. The peninsula is a multicultural buffet of Malay, Chinese and Indian flavours, while Borneo hosts a wild jungle of orang-utans, granite peaks and remote tribes.
Singapore is a fascinating mix of cultures and temperaments, with immigrants from China and Malaysia, India and the West creating a rich, heady cocktail reflected in its architecture, with skyscrapers and subways sitting side by side with rickety riverside food stalls and colonial hotels. Home to the legendary Raffles Hotel, Singapore is equally famous today for its bustling Chinatown and Little India, with its mouth-watering cuisine drawing on influences from all round the Pacific. The Lion City is a superb, hi energy escape.
Thailand is visited by more people than any other country in Southeast Asia. With beautiful beaches and stunning cuisine, historic towns and colourful cities, it’s not hard to see why. Bangkok is the country’s spectacular gateway, a place of timeless wonder, with ancient markets and temples, centuries-old palaces and monks in saffron robes. In the north, Chaingrai province – aka the Golden Triangle – offers a wealth of river tours and hilltribe treks, ruined cities and cookery holidays, with Chiang Mai its stunning capital. In the south, idyllic islands are sprinkled into the Andaman Sea, with Koh Samui and Phuket merely the best known.
Vietnam is a land of extraordinary natural beauty. Soaring mountains and swaying rice fields, sweeping beaches and the mighty Mekong, Vietnam has it all, with Ha Long Bay and its iconic limestone towers the jewel in the country’s dazzling crown. Hanoi is its bristling capital, with elegant colonial buildings overlooking avenues buzzing with motorbikes; old, imperial capital Hue is the cultural heartbeat, with palaces and pagodas, tombs and temples, and a biennial arts festival worth the airfare alone; Ho Chi Minh City – or Saigon as it’s still universally known – is all hustle and bustle, an intoxicating blend of the old and the new, with teeming markets dwarfed by towering skyscrapers. The Mekong Delta provides an ancient, intoxicating foreverness of rice fields and sleepy villages, with river trips taking you along the country’s timeless lifeblood. Inland, peasant women in conical hats still tend to their fields, children ride buffalos along country paths and farmers scratch out a living from rice fields cascading down the sheerest of hillsides. But if Vietnam’s hilly countryside is beautiful, its coastline is simply stunning.
