Worldwide Discovery at Extraordinary Value

Explore The World

When you explore the world with Grand Circle Travel, you’ll see a variety of destinations at an easy tempo. Land Tours are ideal for travelers who value camaraderie, as well as independence. Enjoy a generous roster of included sightseeing featuring the “must see” landmarks, as well as the undiscovered gems most travelers never see. Our pacing also provides free time for you to relax, explore independently, and experience local cultures in a meaningful way.

Grand Circle Travel can help you realize your travel dreams for a lot less than you ever thought possible. That’s because each of our Land Tours includes full-service accommodations, included tours, intimate Home-Hosted visits, exclusive Discovery Series events, and so much more. And, because we work with our regional offices located throughout the world, we’ve been able to establish long-term relationships with many local vendors and hotels. Buying direct brings down our costs—and allows us to pass the savings on to you. And negotiating directly for hotel space also allows us to secure as many single room allotments as possible for our solo travelers.


Established in 1958, Grand Circle Travel is part of Grand Circle’s family of travel companies, which also includes Grand Circle Cruise Line and Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT). In a small group of never more than 25 to 42, Grand Circle Travel offers distinctive international vacations for Americans age 50 and older. Since 1992, its charitable arm, Grand Circle Foundation, has donated or pledged more than $91M USD to more than 300 humanitarian, educational, and cultural organizations worldwide, including about 100 schools, in 50 countries today.
