Senior Citizen Holidays

How Senior Citizen Holidays works

Curated travel formats for different ages, comfort needs, and group dynamics.

Senior Citizen Holidays at Taro Voyages is a relaxed-pace travel service for seniors, covering accessible accommodations, medical support, and leisurely itineraries.

Senior travel is not a modified version of regular travel. It is a different approach entirely — one that honours experience, values comfort, respects pace, and treats every traveller with the dignity they have more than earned.

We have designed senior travel programmes since our founding. We know that the measure of a great senior trip is not how many sites were visited, but how deeply each one was experienced — unhurried, accessible, and fully savoured.

Our programmes include carefully selected ground-floor or lift-accessible accommodation, private vehicles rather than coaches, medical assistance on call, flexible itineraries that account for good days and slow days, and senior-specific travel insurance as standard.

Whether you are travelling with your spouse, with a group of friends of similar age, with your children, or independently, we create a journey that feels tailored to you — not squeezed into a general tour.

At 65, you do not travel less well than at 35. You travel better — because you know what actually matters.

Varanasi, also called Kashi, lies on the Ganges in the middle-Ganges valley of southeastern Uttar Pradesh, 692 kilometres southeast of New Delhi, and holds a central place in Hindu traditions of pilgrimage, death and mourning alongside a long-standing tradition of Islamic artisanship. It sits 121 kilometres downstream of Prayagraj, where the Ganges meets the Yamuna at another major pilgrimage site.

Kerala can be divided geographically into three distinct bands: the eastern highlands of rugged, cool mountain terrain; the rolling hills of the central mid-lands; and the coastal plains of the western lowlands, bordered by 590 kilometres of coastline along the Laccadive Sea. Pre-Cambrian and Pleistocene geological formations make up most of the state's terrain, and a catastrophic flood in 1341 CE reshaped that terrain, in the process creating a natural harbour that went on to serve the spice trade.

Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, sits at the intersection of Central, Western and Southern Europe, bordered by Germany to the north, France to the west, Austria and Liechtenstein to the east, and Italy to the south. It is a federal republic of 26 cantons, with Bern as the federal city and seat of government, and the country's roughly 9 million people are concentrated mainly on the Swiss Plateau — between the Alps, which cover most of its territory, and the Jura Mountains — in cities including Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Lausanne.

Is there an age limit for your senior tours?

No — we have happily organised trips for travellers in their 80s. What matters is health and mobility level, not age. We design around your actual capability.

What accessibility standards do you apply to hotels?

We require: lift access to all floors, walk-in shower or accessible bathroom, bed height suitable for seniors, and proximity to dining and lobby areas. Ground-floor rooms available on request.

Do you provide a medical escort?

For groups of 10+ senior travellers, we include a qualified first-aid escort. For all senior tours, we maintain a doctor's contact at every destination and carry a comprehensive medical kit.

How strenuous are the itineraries?

We rate all itineraries on a 3-level scale: Gentle (mostly seated, coach-based), Moderate (short walks of up to 1km), and Active (longer walks for those who prefer them). Most senior tours are Gentle or Moderate.

Can children and grandchildren join the trip?

Absolutely — family-senior combination tours are some of our most popular. We balance the pace for both generations so everyone has a wonderful time.

What travel insurance is included?

All international senior tours include senior-specific travel insurance covering medical evacuation, hospitalisation, trip cancellation, and baggage loss. We can enhance coverage on request.

Can you arrange wheelchair assistance at airports?

Yes — wheelchair assistance at departure, transit, and arrival airports is arranged as standard for all seniors who request it. This is flagged with airlines and airports in advance.

Are vegetarian and jain meal options available everywhere?

Yes — we confirm vegetarian, jain, and other dietary requirements with every hotel and restaurant along the route before departure. Specific meal needs are always catered for.

Do you offer solo senior traveller options?

Yes — we have group departure tours specifically for solo senior travellers, where individuals join a small, curated group of similar age and interests.

What happens if a traveller needs medical attention during the trip?

Our trip manager immediately accompanies the traveller to the nearest appropriate hospital. We have tie-ups with English-speaking hospitals at major destinations. Travel insurance handles all costs.
