Celebrating 10 years of Distant Journeys

Since 2014, we have been designing and delivering an exciting style of touring holiday

We are celebrating 10 years of Distant Journeys. Since 2014, we have been designing and delivering an exciting style of touring holiday that meets exceptional standards and offers unbelievable value. Operated at a leisurely pace and providing unrivalled flexibility, our itineraries are perfectly tailored to the tastes of UK travellers.

Simon Whittle, Managing Director, says:

“As we approach this milestone, I am reminded of what we set out to do from the very beginning. Our aim was, and still is, simple – to make every moment of your holiday as memorable as it should be.

With a wealth of experience and the support of an immensely passionate and knowledgeable team, both here in the UK and overseas, we have created holidays of a lifetime for thousands of happy travellers.

We are so proud our customers love what we do, and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank every single one of you for the loyalty and trust shown over the years. It has been our absolute honour to curate these trips for you, and we look forward to helping you plan your next adventure soon.”
