Unwind With An Autumn Holiday
Let your autumn adventure begin

Autumn Escorted Tours & Holidays

With cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, autumn is the perfect time for sightseeing as cities, sights and landscapes are enhanced by the magical effect of low sunlight. This is the season of ripening, when you can savour local produce such as mushrooms, squash and harvests of the vine. From New England's glorious fall colours to the burnished hues of Europe's riverbank forests, the glow of golden light on Japan's shimmering temples to the clarity of Scandinavia's fjords and mountains - autumn is an enchanting season, when there's time to absorb the quiet beauty of each destination and savour experiences more slowly.

Visit Italy in its golden season

Cooler days make touring comfortable and, with the crowds dispersed, you can explore at a more relaxed pace. Autumn adds a soft glow to Italy's coastal resorts such as Portofino, to the cities of Rome, Venice and Florence, and casts a clear light on beautiful lakes - from Garda and Como to less-visited Maggiore and Orta.

See Scandinavia's autumn splendour

In fall, Scandinavia's vast forests turn from green to vibrant yellow, orange and red. Experience fantastic fjords and stylish cities, when the air is crisp and temperatures are mild. This is the Nordic season of 'hygge', when candlelit cafés offer a cosy retreat, and - if you're lucky - you may spot the Northern Lights on a clear night.

Cherish Japan in 'Koyo' season

As iconic as cherry blossom season, Japan's autumn (known as 'Koyo') features an intense palette of red, oranges, and golds. Witness the rich reds of maple and vivid yellows of ginkgo leaves in Japan's idyllic tea gardens when, during autumn, humidity is lower than in summer and skies are usually clear and sunny.

Experience New England in the Fall

Fall in New England offers constantly changing hues, from the radiant reds and chestnuts of its mountain scenery to the golden glow of its scenic East Coast. Combine autumn's colours with history and culture in Boston, and be awestruck in the White Mountains - one of the region's most stunning locations.
