With TD Active Hoildays - Most of our groups are made up of a collection of individuals (couples, friends and single travellers) who don’t know each other before travelling.

• customers ages vary broadly depending on the holiday type, with customers generally being aged 35 years – 64 years old.

• Group sizes often smaller than a traditional group holiday allowing you to get to know everybody, between 15-40 people.

They include authentic accommodation with all tours and holidays generally stay in locally owned boutique hotels, 3 star hotels, home stays or guesthouses to try benefit the local community.

They occasionally offer 4 star hotels but never a chain hotel or a 5 star luxury hotel.
