Tour Manager Cox & Kings’ tour managers are carefully selected for their travel experience and organisational abilities. You will be met on arrival and your tour manager will escort you throughout the journey (unless otherwise specified).
Accommodation The standard and style of accommodation varies from country to country and tour to tour; however, Cox & Kings generally uses first class 4 or 5 star hotels, lodges and camps or the best available, on all its tours. Where a holiday differs from that standard significantly, either because it is particularly luxurious or more 'adventurous' in emphasis, we have highlighted this fact by applying the terms Luxury Tour and Discovery Tour immediately below the tour title.
Excellent Value Low Price Policy – Cox & Kings does not believe that you should pay a premium for excellent service and outstanding holidays. It is our policy to keep our prices as low as possible and, thereby, to make our holidays available to as many people as possible.
Buying Power – Cox & Kings low price policy is made possible through buying power established over many years and long-standing relationships in the travel industry generated by the network of associated Cox & Kings companies worldwide. As a result Cox & Kings is able to offer services at highly competitive rates.
Comparing Like With Like – By its nature, high quality long haul travel is not cheap, and when looking at the various holidays on the market it can seem as if there is a big difference in price between what on the surface are similar holidays. Therefore, when weighing up holiday options it is important to compare like with like and we are confident that our tours represent excellent value for money when the standard of accommodation and other services are taken into account.
High Quality Service
Personal Service While Away – When you
are part of a Cox & Kings Escorted Group
tour you will be met at each airport, train
station or quay along the way, transferred to
and from your hotel and have the details of
your itinerary explained to you. Most Cox &
Kings groups also benefit from the services of
a local English speaking Tour Manager who
accompanies the group throughout your
trip. All Cox & Kings travellers are in the
capable hands of someone who can inform
and, if necessary, smooth any wrinkles along
the way.
Expert Local Guides – Cox & Kings uses the services of specially chosen local guides who really know their subject and can bring places to life. In addition to providing relevant background information, as detailed or general as your like, they can also explain the local way of life, customs and issues in a way that guide books never can.
Discovery Tours will be more suitable to the more adventure-spirited traveller as tours will typically include some quite basic accommodation, possibly longer and rougher road journeys and in some cases more adventurous activities, such as trekking.
