If we were asked to describe a Titan holiday in a nutshell, that’s what we’d say. When it comes to travel, there are so many places to discover, so many amazing experiences to be had. There’s a real joy to exploring the world – and that’s why we love doing what we do.
Our people live, breathe and love travel, and it shows. Going above and beyond is second nature for us: our product managers pull out all the stops to create truly unique itineraries (our private plane tour is a good case in point); our tour managers and local guides are the best in the business; and our travel advisors are committed to offering you flawless, friendly and genuinely helpful service.

The best things in life aren't things, they're moments.
Moments of discovery. Moments of adventure. Moments of friendship. And that’s what travelling with Titan is all about. Experiences that you’ll remember long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase; feelings that stay with you for a lifetime.
It’s that first evening on safari, soaking up the silence of the bush. The view of the Grand Canyon opening up before you. Crunching through fresh snow as you make your way to a Japanese onsen.
Travel is about experiences, about making memories. That’s why, more than 40 years after we started, we’re still just as passionate as ever about creating incredible holidays (and why we’re so proud to be the UK’s most awarded escorted tour operator).
Travel is also about people – the people you travel with, the people you meet while you’re away, the people who really make your holiday. It might be the tour manager who made a 30-day trip run seamlessly from start to finish or the local guide whose expertise allowed you to really understand your destination’s history.
Or it might be a fellow traveller who quickly became a firm friend, maybe even a future travel companion. Because it’s often the social aspect of our holidays that our customers tell us they enjoy the most – friendships are made, photos compared, stories swapped.
That’s why we sign off with ‘perfect moments shared’. For us, that’s what a holiday should be.

Titan Travel: We want to BE Better
Working together to make our holidays as sustainable as possible.
At the heart of our business, we are a family. We listen, we learn, and we grow - together. We are always striving for excellence and to be at the forefront of what we do. Our commitment to sustainable travel is part of our ethos. We love exploring the world and hope that, alongside our customers, we can be part of a bigger change in respecting the people and wildlife on our planet and minimising the impact we have on our environment.
Conservation
We’re taking steps to minimise our impact on the planet wherever we can – and we’re always looking for ways we can do more.
Single-use plastics is a big issue when it comes to travel. We’ve removed all single-use plastics from our river cruise ships (a move which has saved an incredible 20,000 plastic bottles per year) and are working towards offering reusable branded water bottles on some of our tours, as well.*
Closer to home, we ensure that our brochures are all fully recyclable thanks to water-soluble sealants and vegetable-based inks. Sixty-one per cent of all our mailing is compostable and we are working hard to make sure the remaining 39% will be recyclable, too.**
We’re also going paperless with all of our documentation. Throughout our supply chain we work with suppliers who care, suppliers like d-flo who help us provide customer travel documents. d-flo are committed to reducing carbon emissions by sending travel documents electronically. Sending our travel documents by email equates to 90% lower carbon emissions than printing and posting does.*** So, over the tens of thousands we send here at Titan, that’s a huge change we’ve made towards carbon reduction.
d-flo run a programme to offset email carbon, too, working with Ecologi, a UK based social enterprise, who support a wide range of carbon reduction projects. Every year, d-flo plant trees on Titan’s behalf, as a valued partner, through its TREE(3) programme to make an ongoing contribution in the fight against climate change. All booking confirmations, invoices and itineraries will be sent digitally, unless paper copies are specifically requested.
*COVID restrictions may have a short-term impact on operational requirements.
**Based on mailings over a 12-month period.
***Based on a large letter emitting 40g C02e and a standard email emitting 4g C02e
Wildlife
We have many incredible wildlife experiences on our escorted tours from African safaris to visiting animal sanctuaries and rehabilitation centres – and two thirds of our customers believe that animal welfare is of the utmost importance to them.
We understand the concerns about the impacts of tourism and how animals are treated. Which is why we want to BE better and not only work with partners who treat animals well in their care, but who also support animal conservation, rehabilitation, and research. And we also endeavour to support the conservation of habitats, natural areas and wildlife – and want to minimise damage to them.
We will not offer elephant rides, dolphin swimming or any wildlife experiences where we believe animals will be mistreated and neglected.
Community
At the heart of our business and our holidays is a sense of community. We have an important role in ensuring that we are a responsible travel company that respects authentic culture and traditions, enhances historic heritage, protects the communities we visit and empowers local people – giving them opportunities and the chance to benefit from tourism in their areas.
We believe it is essential to avoid any kind of negative impact on the destinations we visit. Several of our escorted tours give back to the local community and we strive to work with partners who support social enterprise projects in their areas. From building schools and feeding over 800 children daily in Zimbabwe to meeting local Armenian families in their homes who prepare a traditional meal for our customers, we want to continue championing these local schemes.

Titan Travel Reviews
Review on “Cairo, Alexandra and a Nile Cruise" – 11 nights with Titan / Saga. 13-02-25 Overall the trip went very well, good journey from home with a car picking me up & transporting me from Cumbria to Heathrow & an adequate flight to Cairo with Egypt-Air. Met by our Tour Manager on arrival & transferred to our hotel. Hotel Swiss Inn Pyramids Resort was good Included Tours of The Pyramids & Alexandria were adequate Internal Transfer to Luxor was OK Our ship, The Nile Plaza was wonderful & the cruise fantastic with wonderful food, decent cabins & excellent staff. The included trips were well organised The flight home was OK with nice car & driver to take me back home. Pro’s Professional Tour Manager & knowledgeable Egyptologist for the duration of the trip. Decent hotel Excellent Nile Cruise ship serving fantastic food and excellent facilities including massage provided by very provisional masseur / masseuse Con’s Cairo hotel poorly located in October 5th City Scheduled trips often rearranged to generate time for optional extra money ones Optional trips sold at very high prices 3 unscheduled time consuming trips, an Alabaster outlet, an essential oils outlet & a Papyrus outlet – Prices in all 3 were exorbitantly high. Tour Manager & Egyptologist Tip expectation level of $60 / $80 each per person from a group of 35 – Even at the lower figure the tip alone (Without commission from the outlets & optional tours etc) works out at almost the ANNUAL salary of a Civil Engineer – Source https://www.timedoctor.com/blog/average-salary-in-egypt/ Overall summery Overall the trip offers excellent value for money, especially the pick-up & return home by car (Only one diversion to collect a couple en-route, total journey 8 hours Cumbria to Heathrow including stops) The trips included in the package were excellent as were the Hotel & Nile Cruiser. The group size of 35 was somewhat high but I’ll probably use Titan / Saga again &, with certain caveats as mentioned above, recommend them.
THE GREAT INDIAN RAIL JOURNEY!!!! (Dreadful) Avoid Titan and Saga at all costs. False descriptions of the tour and dreadful administration Returned to the UK last evening with a great sigh of relief after the worst holiday ever. 1. No block booking of airplane seats by Titan. (Husband and I sat apart on the long, overnight flight) 2. Unable to pre-book seats as Titan reference numbers did not coincide with anything. 3. Husband and I not sat together on any of the train journeys! In fact, on one occasion I was sat, alone on a sleeper carriage, a couple of carriages away from the rest of the group who were scattered over two or three carriages. Terrifying as a female to be sat alone in the midst of noisy locals!!!!! (Eventually the guide, Rahi, did come to rescue me and found a seat near the main group) 4. The guide, Rahi, would usually get off the coach and begin walking off without waiting for all the group to disembark the coach. (Spot the guide in the crowd!) 5. The guide, Rahi, refused to use any identifying prop such as a flag, hat, jacket or umbrella. Frightening to be in the manic crowds of Delhi and other crowded places to be unable to see the guide. 6. NO AUDIO HEADSET system on any excursion 7. The guide, Rahi, didn’t face the whole group, but stood sideways on and was unable to be heard by the majority. 8. OUTRAGEOUS behaviour by the guide when he enquired as to the whereabouts of my husband, whom I explained was in bed with an upset stomach and was feeling unwell. Rahi DID A REVERSE AIR PUNCH😳😳. This was in response to an earlier conversation when my husband had complained about our separate seating arrangements. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL 9. When we arrived at Heathrow to find our aircraft seats were not allocated, we were advised to speak to our guide on arrival at Delhi. Rahi merely shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn’t do anything. 10. Tour pace incorrect - gruelling pace and only half a day relaxation due to the guide, Rahi, throwing in visits to shops and factories fie him to earn his commission as I head him tell another!!!!!!! 11. When off loaded the return flight due to illness, we were unable to get in contact with Titan/Saga. Left in Delhi without an hotel or flight!!! Found accommodation but didn’t remove shoes or clothes due to the poor standard. Final summary: Poor, disappointing, inefficient, incompetent, misleading, misrepresentations, are just a few words to describe.
Recently returned from the great Indian rail journey.My wife and I could hardly believe the value for money.From pick ups from Durham to Heathrow and back,to the number of coach and train journeys , quality hotels, great choice of food throughout and our first night in Heathrow Hilton. What really made our trip a success was our guide, Prashant,who managed a party of twenty four very varied, sometimes a little unpredictable travellers with ease.Nothing was too much trouble for him and as a group we gelled and warmed to Prashant as he kept us safe, well informed and a little entertained by his mix of authority and humanity.Where do I begin with the tour itself ? India,a country of extremes.Poverty,wealth,order,chaos.Sometimes bleak,often breathtakingly beautiful.The people,the cities,art, architecture,flaura and fauna.Delhi,Jaipur, Amritsar,Agra, Ranthambore, Chandigarh and the icing on the cake that is Shimla. An absolute masterclass of man versus nature,the railway and buildings are an unbelievable feat,but wait until you see the dual carriageway being built on the mountainside.🤯I could go on for a very long time but I'll just post some photos.Thanks to Titan,thanks to the excellent Prashant and and a massive thanks to the other twenty two travellers who helped shape our holiday of a lifetime.🏁💜
I have booked the Icelandic Adventure holiday with Titan Travel, the Booking Staff was pleasant throughout. What I love about Titan Travel, transfer from your home to the airport and vice versa is included in the holiday.
Danube cruise was great value. Well organised. Clear instructions from Titan prior to travel. Door to door service great.
Exceptional trip and service by Titan
Just returned from a fabulous tour of California & the golden west. It’s a full on tour with early starts but you see so much varied landscape from the ocean to the desert to Yosemite. My 2nd tour with Titan & my first solo tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it & met some great people. Grand Canyon was amazing would definitely recommend
Not merely a holiday, rather a memorable experience
I have used other travel operators; this was the 1st time of touring with Titan----Israel, The Holy Land, from being collected from home and returned at the end of the holiday this was an unforgettable experience; the Tour Manager, a PhD Archaeology made the whole tour so interesting, he enlightened us throughout each day from an historical, archeological and Biblical viewpoint, bringing each site we visited come to life, and went over and above his remit escorting us for evening trips around the local area; thanks also to our very patient driver who coped with the very busy traffic; our hotels were good, professional and pleasant staff and really good food; I would recommend Titan to anyone looking for a fascinating tour with excellent efficient service thank you Titan nor just for a holiday for a memorable experience
We had a 2 weeks fantastic holiday arranged by Titan to Vietnam and Cambodia. Excellent,well organised Throughly enjoyed. Very good service by Vietnam Airlines, if you could afford book it in premium economy. We had a door to door service , picked up to airport from home and then dropped at home from airport, very convinient. Particular credit goes to our guide THI who is a caring, knolegeable, friendly down to earth man who made our trip a memorable one. I will not hesitate to book another holiday through Titan, their staff are friendly and helpful
Luxury VIP door to door travel! I don't think so....Titan sent a Toyota Prius uber to Stanstead for a return journey to Newport, S Wales. 4 adults plus luggage! the experience was anything but luxurious. Contacted Titan on the return journey and since return. They simply didn't seem interested and offered us a £300 travel discount off a future trip! After a lot of emails they converted it to a £300 cash refund. Give it a lot of thought before booking !
We had a fantastic holiday in Mississippi. Right from our chauffeur driven car picking us up to the return journey, we had a great time. The first hotel The Gaylord was amazing,absolutely huge,first class. The second The Double tree in Memphis unfortunately wasn't, the hotel was tired and very basic, the only plus was where it is situated in the centre of town, we were only there two nights so it wasn't to bad. The American Queen Steam Boat was first class all the way, thoroughly enjoyed the seven nights sailing down the Mississippi. The last hotel the Sheraton New Orleans was very comfortable too. Our guide throughout our time away was Laura Tuttle. she was amazing, very knowledgeable, and helpful. We also had a coach driver Guil, who went over and beyond to give you the best time. Other coach guides included Jim,who was so funny, and also very knowledgeably. Very entertaining throughout. The entire itinerary itinerary was very well thought out, included a huge variety of visits to different Interesting locations. Highly recommend using Titan for all your holiday destinations.
Wonderful travel company I booked my first tour to lndia and was wonderfully taken care of Highly recommended, especially tour guide Janice
Perfect Italian Holiday…
Just returned from a lovely week in Sorrento at the Grand Hotel Hermitage, we had an excellent guide Peter Macchristopher. we loved the hotel the staff were very nice especially in the dining rooms, the food was good and the room we had was really nice with a wonderful view. Altogether very good value holiday.we felt the trip to Pompei was very good also boat trip to Amalfi. I would recommend a walk to the village of St Agatha and a three hour ride on the Little Blue Train. Great fun.this can be booked at reception.
Made a call about an upcoming trip regarding currency trying to get best advice, dont think the guy really understood, i had to lead him from info i had but got there in the end. Felt he could have been a bit more forthcoming than beating about. Shame as we had a previous good rep. Still looking forward to the trip though.
Booked holiday to Austria late May. Great speech by tour manager about how good the salads are at the hotel. Funny 8 day tour no salad served.First night weak tasteless chicken soup. Normal tour 25 Saga had added their group to ours so now restaurant which normally sat 25 had 44. Problems for people with mobility issues. Hotel not geared up for people with mobility issues. After complaints food improved slightly. Holiday only saved by tour manager and drivers professional attitude to group For a holiday that cost over £3000 I would NEVER book a holiday with Titan/Saga again.
I will try to be as fair as possible with my comments, firstly l must say my wife and I enjoyed a very well organised holiday in Japan. The Rep and the local guides were excellent very refreshing after our experience with Titan office staff. Now to the crux of the matter, Titan Office Staff. At the best they are badly trained and totally incompetent at the worst badly mismanaged and chaotic. Our inaction with Titan started 7months before we departed on our £10,000 + holiday to Japan when we booked our holiday. From the start the Titan operatives seemed very confused, thus lot’s of phone calls ensued be prepared for long waits and a different person to eventually answer the phone. Take everything you are told by with a large pinch of salt and double checking everything, even if they promise to call you back at a given time (Alex Gravstock) they won’t. We were miss sold an extra being told if we wished to travel on that date we would have to pay for a hotel upgrade! From the very start we were told that our flight JAL 42 was leaving from Terminal 5, so l booked a night at the Sofitel terminal 5 (£200) without breakfast.On the morning of the flight we made the 200yd walk to Terminal 5,on arrival we tried to check in using the check in machine no luck. Then tried a manned check no luck, by this time we were just over an hour from our flight time. Contacted Titan who asked why were we at Terminal 5 informed us we should be at terminal 3 so then the race was on to get to Terminal 3. I am 67years of age,in the process of dashing to get the underground l ruptured my MCL knee ligament very painful!. We did make our flight but on arriving in Tokyo spend time and money to get to a clinic. Then hobbled around Japan on a diet of painkillers. On our return we complained to Titan they did refund us for the miss selling but denied any responsibility as to my knee injury.l argued that I was doing something l shouldn’t have had to do in a place l wouldn’t have been if it had not been for there total incompetence! My advice if you are travelling with Titan would be to check every single detail twice if not thrice.Not the service l would have expected for a holiday of this cost.
Good all round experience with Titan
I recently took my granddaughter to Germany to see the Passion Play. Titan looked after us well from picking us up from home to returning us at the end of the holiday. The Tour Manager was excellent, very knowledgeable and always on hand should we need him. Hotels and food were also good. I would certainly use Titan again.
We booked the Southern Sights USA trip nearly a year in advance to celebrate my wife's big birthday. We paid the final balance when due but Titan then cancelled the tour only two months ahead of the due date due to insufficient take up. They offered a £250 discount on another 2024 trip which didn't work for us. If you want a guaranteed holiday don't book with this company.
My husband and I recently returned from Titan Travel's Majesty of the Danube River Cruise. This was our first river cruise and we were very impressed. The facilities on the ship were great and with only 92 cabins it was easy to get to know other passengers and staff. The food was excellent and plentiful and the inclusive drinks during lunch and dinner flowed freely, served by the friendly, efficient waiting staff. We booked a superior cabin with a Juliet balcony which was clean and spacious with ample storage space. Both the included and additional trips were well organised with good local guides. We would have preferred a little more time in some ports but such is the nature of this type of trip - just a taster of what is on offer. When our flight home (on Monday 28/8/23) was prevented by the major UK air traffic control problem and we had no idea how we would get home or what would happen to us in the mean time, Titan were quickly on the case and found all passengers overnight hotel accommodation, took us to and from it, and liaised with the airline regarding our replacement flight - it would have been far more difficult for us without this. Thank you Titan and especially Cruise Director Colin Thompson and his assistant Paula who worked into the early hours of the morning sorting things out. We would certainly recommend this Titan Travel river cruise and look forward to travelling with Titan again.
Just come back from a ten-day tour of Uzbekistan. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Our tour guide Fax was friendly, attentive and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for him. I feel I should make the observation that this was more of an “adventure” than a “holiday”; we were rather full-on, which suited me. I get bored sitting by the swimming pool… Starting in Tashkent we flew to Urgench then took coached to Khiva, Bukhara, Shakrisabs and Samarkand where we then took the train back to Tashkent. There was plenty to see and do at each stage, and having been shown around a town we were often given free time to explore on our own. The locals were friendly; many of them spoke passable English (far better than my Usbek), and having done this tour I wouldn’t hesitate to go on another Titan holiday.
Had a fantastic holiday in Oxford
Had a fantastic holiday in Oxford. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the staff could not do enough for us. The food was excellent, plenty of choices and the accommodation was outstanding. The trips arranged were excellent, had plenty of time to look around at your own leisure. I hope Titan will be doing more UK trips like this in the near future as we're itching to go again to different places.
Excellent always get first class service. Holidays are well planned and run. All staff from Transport to Tour Managers are very good
We had the huge misfortune to be staying where these groups were staying. The behaviour of the people on the tour was shocking! No consideration whatever to other guests staying in hotel. Blocking the way. Breakfast like a feeding frenzy. One word. Avoid!
