Age Tailored LBTs

While the Large Bus Tour group travel market may be dominated by retirees (41-50%) & 50s upwards, package tours accommodate almost all age groups including families with children with perhaps minimum age limits

Yet, some tours are designed JUST for specific age group preferences … occasionally to the exclusion of others e.g. adult-only tours. Tour companies carefully tailor or define the physical limits of tour activities so individuals can adapt.

Ironically, some tour companies appear to exclude anyone OVER 90. (Note: If I get to 90, please exclude me.😀)

Travelers in their 20s, 30s & 40s may naturally choose tailored, adventurous package tours including kid/family-friendly tour profiles. Some tour operators either welcome families with children over a certain age e.g., 6 years, or can design a family-with-children experience. [Jump LK]

Age-Related Specifics:   
    1. Adults-Only BT: Senior or Retirement Cruises: While usually not explicitly marketed as such, many LBTs are designed to appeal to older folks' desire for quiet ambiance, and worthwhile knowledge.

The following big bus tour companies intentionally design for Seniors & retirees over 50, up into their 80s. Most emphasize comfort, and educational activities matched with the appropriate physical or mobility capability. Some even book flights etc for patrons.
        a. EF Go Ahead Tours:
        b. Road Scholar: average age: 72.; educational focus.
        c. Trafalgar: 50s to early 70s. Manages health protocols,
        d. Intrepid Travel:  solo travelers;  local, cultural immersion.
        e. Odysseys Unlimited: 50 - 80 years old, art, history focus.

    2. Minimum Age Requirements: Most have no limit, but under 15 must be with an adult.     Confirm to avoid issues.

    3. Legal Activities Age: varies by tour company &/or local law.
    4. Family-Oriented: accommodates all ages, but is often weighted for kids including flexible ticket values; Open-top buses are even more exciting for kids.
        But, cautions:
             1) bring kid entertainment (cell phone games. ),
             2) plan stops at child-friendly attractions,
             3) plan for strollers or extra luggage,
             4) interactive activities rather than boring school lectures.

     5. Vaccination & Health Rule: up-to-date required vaccinations.
