What do our members say

  • S Ravikumar Wonderful just concluded Eastern Europe tour by 50+ Voyagers.

The icing on the cake was the tour Manager. His knowledge, patience, ever ready serving attitude will be remembered lifetime by the whole group.
  • Anjana Nair I have been a regular traveller with 50 plus Voyagers, Central Europe being my sixth tour with them. As anticipated, this trip also exceeded my expectations with fun filled visits to the most picturesque towns, cities and villages in four countries of Europe. Hotels were good, food was varied and on two occasions, a banquet spread! The riverside lunch was a treat. Tour manager made us comfortable and attended to every need of each person in the group, his vast experience adding a new dimension to our visits to the new cities we explored. I only wish 50 plus voyagers covers more countries as I am in my comfort zone with this group and would like to visit Australia, USA and so on.
  • Kiran Chaturvedi Delhi It was an excellent opportunity to visit Japan, my third trip with 50plusvoyagers. Japan has lots of to offer- neatness, discipline, politeness, humbleness, civic sense and especially mindfulness towards outsiders as well as their own countrymen. Our trip was well planned with beautiful and interesting itineraries, comfortable accommodation, sumptuous Japanese and Indian food- with a balance of vegetarian vs non-vegetarian dishes, logistics of course blended with the thoughtfulness of experienced tour managers. His communication, consideration and patience towards seniors and doing his best to solve our problems, if any. His affection, listening skills, inputs and guidance are excellent. It was always a pleasure to follow the local guide our favourite teacher, an ever smiling and gentle man personality, accompanied us upto Kansai airport assuring our safety. In fact I found safe and secure in another country only because of these two leaders. The novel experience of ONSEN bath, KIMONO wearing and tea ceremony added another flavour to our trip. Lastly, a group of strangers turned into a nice family including my roommate, with whom I enjoyed a decent and peaceful companionship . What I can interpret Japan visit, highlighting Mt. Fuji (considered as a female)- a volcano inside but cool outside covered with snow, a typical female attribute, making it most respectful and one of the major attractions of the country. Thanks to 50plusvayagers and my whole group for making lovely memories, to be cherished forever. Yes, "life begins at 50"
  • Shampa Rakshit I have taken two vacations with 50+ Voyagers, to South Africa and to Ladakh! It is a totally reliable adventure travel group for both single and elderly couples.

After every trip I am looking forward to the next. I wish this travel group 'All the best'.

  • Phalguni Bhatt Bahrain 50+ Voyager is a great way to get introduced to a particular country. Overall the experience was nice. We understood that the tour managers have to complete a lot of sightseeing so cant explain much about each place. Like I said that its a great way to get an overall view of the place and if you are fortunate you can see the place next time at your own pace. Warm Indian soultouching food was a blessing after a long day. Our tour manager made sure everyone was well looked after.
