Here are just some of the benefits of choosing to travel with Cox & Kings.

 Caravan of people riding camels

For our authentic experiences

Unlike many travel companies, Cox & Kings has outposts on the ground in destinations around the world. This allows us to take you safely off the tourist trail, connect you with local cultures, and open doors to new and truly authentic experiences. All our holidays feature Signature Experiences – exceptional activities designed to reveal hidden wonders and cultural secrets.

For the value we bring

Beyond the cultural value of the places you explore with us, you also benefit from value for money. Our rates are highly competitive, without compromising our world-renowned service. For further savings across our range of holidays, visit our offers page and subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Child washing hands

For responsible tourism

We believe in travelling well, and that tourism should be a force for good. We use local guides on all our tours, ensuring that your money stays in the destination. As part of the Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group family, we work with A&K Philanthropy, who partner with more than 50 grassroots projects around the world, from Antarctica to Zambia.

Brewery tour

For solo-friendly adventures

Travelling solo doesn’t have to mean travelling alone. We arrange dedicated Solo Travellers tours to some of the most compelling destinations including Peru, India, Sri Lanka and Costa Rica. You enjoy the freedom of independent travel combined with the security of joining a group of like-minded solos – and there are no single supplements to pay.

For peace of mind

Cox & Kings is a trusted name in travel. Our global network allows us to provide 24/7 emergency support, so you can tour the world with complete peace of mind. We take care of every detail, from bookings to safety, so your adventure goes ahead smoothly. And 90% of our small group tours have at least one guaranteed departure, which means your adventure will go ahead no matter how few people are on it.

Kyoto, Japan

For generations of experience

Established in 1758, Cox & Kings has been arranging holidays for longer than any other travel operator. Whether you book a tailor-made holiday or a small group tour – and our groups are small, with no more than 18 or 20 people – you can tap into our accumulated know-how to make your adventure the brightest it can be.

The Milky Way

For the personal touch

Cox & Kings isn’t a faceless, online-only travel company. We are a team of ambitious wayfarers as passionate about exploring the world as you are. We love talking to guests about their holiday ideas, while offering our own first-hand experience to make them a reality.
