If you have answered yes to the above questions, then an escorted tour with one of the many 18-35 tour operators throughout the world are designed just for you. Travelling as part of a group is a great way to meet like minded people and lasting friendships are often formed. Some 18-35 tour operators even specialise in trying to give independent budget travellers the chance to really discover different parts of this amazing world.

The youth travel specific tour group concept came about in the UK around the 1960s and 70s, when the young adventurers from Australia and New Zealand flooded into London for a couple of years and then needed a way to explore Europe in the summer time. Around that time there was a few business types that wanted to experience Europe themselves and take some people on for a ride and this was how a couple of now larger tour companies, Contiki and Topdeck, started out. From the 1970s to now the 18-35 and youth travel industry has grown worldwide and there are countless tour operators throughout the world that have organised tours for people in the 18-35 age bracket.

Back then 'roughing it' through Europe camping for weeks on end was mostly the way to go, but these days you can choose the style of travel you want or what your budget can afford. The bigger operators have tours that run from a week to almost a couple of months and you can choose to camp, bunk in hostels or enjoy the comfort of your own hotel room. A number of operators also either have specialised tours for specific regions like Greek Island Hopping, Sailing in Croatia or touring around Italy. Some tour operators even just specialise by running tours in their local region.

So is this 18-35 and youth travel thing just big coach tours of Europe then? No way. Although Europe is still a popular destination for the youth traveller, these days the 18-35 and youth travel tour operators operate all over the world offering diverse and amazing experiences. Do you want see New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas? Well coach tours for 18-35's now run across North America. But you say you want to go to Downunder and visit Sydney, Auckland, Cairns, Queenstown, Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the Great Barrier Reef? Well there are also plenty of 18-35 and youth travel tour operators covering Australia and New Zealand as well.

One of the explosions in the youth travel market has seen the massive popularity into the adventure travel market, which can involve activities such as travelling across Africa or South America in a truck and camping out under the stars. Festival trips in Europe have always been popular with the 18-35 market and there are plenty of youth tour operators that specialise in going to the major events like the Oktoberfest in Munich and the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. Of course 18-35's love to party and there are countless tour operators that provide the ultimate party trips all over the planet to major party destinations.

Once on the trip the 18-35 tour operators provide relaxed, informative trips led by knowledgeable crew, with many great inclusions, often included tasty meals, plenty of free time with like-minded young travelling companions to share the experience with in each destination.

So whether you're going to travel solo or round up a few mates, on an 18-35 tour you can look forward to some excitement by getting away from the every day life. What can be better than everybody is one place, with no ties, no responsibilities, no work, just beautiful sunshine, warm waters, great friendships, fun experiences, cool tunes, and great nightlife...
