We had good hotel locations n the tour manager was not bad.

Hi, has anyone taken EU HOlidays' Northern Lights tours? Can you share your experiences, good bad and ugly? There are a number of Singapore travel agencies offering Northern Lights tours, but it seems the reviews for LGE Travel are the worst. Can anyone recommend any reliable and good travel agencies for NL tours? Thanks!

Hi there , may I know which package you book under Chan Brother .. I jus book one ytd , wondering if I am booking the same tour package as yours ... 😔

I haven't booked anything. Not sure which agency to trust for northern lights tour. No one can guarantee we will see northern lights of course, but the reviews I read about LGE Travel are really very very bad. which makes me wonder about all the other agencies as well that offer Northern Lights tours. Has anyone taken NL tour with the socalled reputable agencies like Chan Brothers or EU holidays or others? Need good advice

Dear reader,

I would like to give an honest opinion for you to not regret spending your hard earn money away.

Very poorly organized tour. Not worth the money at all. $4000 per pax, but there is no tour guide, just merely a tour leader to handle administration stuff. Hence no explanations of local culture or guide at all.

On top of that, my tour was met with unforeseen bad weather. The entire arrangements were handled unprofessionally. The tour leader simply state “too bad, bad weather, therefore all is cancelled”. That’s all...allow me to repeat again, that’s all!! Paid $4,000 just to take 8 hours of bus rides...

Might as well stay in Singapore and take a SBS bus from interchange to interchange...fml

Best advice for anyone considering LGE travel - keep your money and stay away from the company. Period.

Those who wish to go on this tour package have to be prepared to walk distances of between 300 meters to a kilometer often, because often buses have no places to stop legally, near the restaurants and places to visit. Have to wear very comfortable walking shoes.

Not been there before, any advice where is better or

any itinerary for a family of 4 (2 teenagers) for DIY?

Since you have already booked the tour, I would suggest you just go ahead and enjoy it and not to be bothered by any reviews as everyone has different expectation.

I like Turkish Airlines though..

7 Best Travel Agencies in Singapore for Elderly-Friendly Family Tours

In Singapore, travelling is not only reserved for fit singletons with few responsibilities on their back. Despite having young children or retiree parents, the sandwiched generation aspires to travel at least once yearly.

When it comes to travelling with different generations, travel agencies can help to organise fuss-free tours where there’s no need to choose where to go and what to eat at every juncture. While younger folks might find this torture in itself, for families, it means fewer decisions to agonise over and quarrel about. Plus, you get to meet other families and your retiree parents can also meet fellow senior citizens.

Looking at the prices that we’ve found below, tour agencies don’t always cost more than going free and easy too. Which tour agency should you go to if you’re looking for a fuss-free family holiday?

Best tour agencies for senior citizens 2022

Of course, do keep in mind that package prices are not all there is to your holiday expenditure. You have to take into account entrance fees to optional attractions and shopping budgets.

Community Centre/ Residents’ Corner Organised Tour Packages

The nearest CC and RC used to be a good place to start if one was looking for cheap and easy trips to neighbouring countries or nearby islands. Since the target audience were mainly senior citizens to begin with, it will be a good chance for people of that age group to mingle and make friends.

Furthermore, the prices were very affordable. A 2D1N Malacca or Batam guided trip was less than $200 per person pre Covid-19, inclusive of return transport and 4-star accommodation.  Singaporean citizens and PRs also enjoyed subsidised rates. These trips aren’t available currently, but you can watch out for upcoming trips at the onePA events site .

CTC Travel used to be best known for their trips in Asia, particularly unique tours to China destinations like Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou.

That said, there are trips venturing to Brunei, Taiwan, Vietnam or Cambodia too. The prices are reasonable if you’re happy to do without the fancy hotels although you usually can opt to top-up and upgrade to 5-star hotels. 

CTC Travel allows you to customise your own trips if being herded into buses on a tight time frame is not your travel style. The more adventurous can get to explore more authentic accommodation options such as homestays, farm stays, camper vans etc.

If lazing around and gorging on good food is one’s idea of a perfect holiday, there are also cruises to choose from too.

CTC Travel also used to offer unique tours that are hosted by celebrities and radio DJs. It’s really cheesy, but if you or your retired parents had a favourite celebrity, it used to be quite an experience to have him/her as their tour guide.

Having read through the reviews on their Facebook page, it seems their tour leaders are dependable and knowledgeable. They go beyond their job scope to help out in the little things like carrying bags for the elderly, providing medication when someone is unwell and helping to serve meals so that everyone can get their food quickly. Based on that, it seems like young children and senior citizens will be well taken care of. 

For families travelling with senior citizens who love the scenery and history of Europe, SA Tours offers a myriad of choices at very reasonable prices.

A 10-day Switzerland tour to 5 scenic destinations costs $4,589 while an 12-day Europe tour to 6 cities costs $3,689, while a 12-day trip to Switzerland, France, and Germany costs $4,189.

Past reviews (from pre-Covid times) revealed that their tour guides offer great insights. SA Tours books their customers to Europe on Emirates flights and accommodation ranges from 4 to 5-star hotels depending on destination. 

On top of the very reasonable prices, SA Tours often have promotions too. 

WTS Travel  currently offers destinations to Holland, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and Switzerland, which sets them apart from the other agencies so far. Other destinations are quite usual including Batam, Bintan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand.

With WTS Travel, one can choose between the basic free and easy tours or upgrade themselves to guided tours. Take Melbourne, for example, you sign on to a basic free and easy tour package, and get to top up for scenic road and beach tours, winery tours, or wildlife sanctuary tours.

If you’re too lazy to figure out a Royal Caribbean booking by yourself, you can also sign up for a Royal Caribbean cruise with WTS Travel.

ASA Holidays

Current destinations offered by ASA Travel  include Seoul, Busan, Santorini, Holland, Istanbul, Turkey, and France. These are pretty adventurous places for young couples and single travellers.

Prices are quite competitive at $3,368 for Spain and Portugal, $3,968 for Spain, $3,648 for Holland, $4,218 for Italy, Switzerland, and France, and more. They offer quality airlines and accommodation types so families can travel in comfort. 

ASA Travel used to also offer exclusive cruise tours like 16, 18 or 22-day Alaska cruise + Canadian Rockies pre Covid-19. These were pretty pricey at $4,588 to $7,488 but… these were super atas  dream retirement holidays.

Dynasty Travel

Dynasty Travel has been around for over 40 years and is well recognised as an award-winning agency. Their tour prices are on the high side, but you can go on your trip with a peace of mind knowing everything will be well taken care of.

It’s great for families who need that added assurance by a company with good track record to ensure their comfort and enjoyment.

Their website used to be one of the best, allowing you to compare prices based on different departure dates. You could even select your preferred airlines and make payment online. However, the Dynasty Travel website seems like it’s taken too long a hiatus over Covid-19 and currently doesn’t show you any available tours or prices. To give an idea of how much it used to cost, an 11D8N Italy tour in 2019 pre-Covid was priced around $4,500 and an 11D9N New Zealand tour with farm stay was approximately $5,288 before taxes.  

Although most of us now prefer to book travel tours online, you might have to go old school once again and call up or visit one of the Dynasty Travel stores to pick up their tour group brochures.

Chan Brothers

Chan Brothers is another trusted name in Singapore like Dynasty Travel, having won several awards in the past. In terms of comfort level, Chan Brothers probably offers one of the best. The agency t ypically flies their customers on Singapore Airlines, as long as the destination allows, and they arrange quality five-star hotels as accommodation.

They also offer the largest number of tours. Some exotic ones are like Israel, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Georgia, Armenia and Uzbekistan. Chan Brothers, similar to CTC Travel, used to have tours hosted by celebrities and radio DJs.

They used to offer a selection of celebrity tours so if  you couldn’t find your favourite DJ on CTC, you could have found him/her on Chan Brothers instead. Another tour that was great for senior citizens was the D.I.Y Holiday farm tour which was customisable and you could determine the travel type (very luxury, luxury, normal or budget) and the location.

If you haven’t decided on your family tour location, we suggest something like “a city with mountains”. It sounds like it could be a great multi-generational holiday.

Got senior citizen discount?

At the time of writing, there weren’t any specific senior citizen promotional tours going on at the agencies. However, given that Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are coming up soon, you might want to ask in store for special promotions to treat your parents on a holiday. 

However, senior citizens can flash their identity card or passport to get a discount off entrance fees and local modes of transportation that are not included in the travel package.

Don’t forget to choose the right travel insurance

It’s important to be well insured for travels, especially for senior citizens who tend to have more vulnerable health conditions. Senior citizens falling ill right before the trip and not being able to get a refund or a postponement of trip is not uncommon. Worse, falling ill during the trip incurs high emergency medical costs. 

Travel insurance  (make sure it comes with Covid-19 coverage) has always been an optional add-on item when booking tours with the agencies. Although they have tie-ups with insurance agencies and offer a more seamless experience of booking everything all at the same place, do some comparison research on MoneySmart to look for the best Covid-19 coverage and cost .

Note that buying travel insurance for senior citizens can be a tricky affair as many insurers reduce their coverage for travellers above 70 years old.

Neither of those. Just DIY.

Chan Brothers will be the better choice but their fares are a bit higher. EU have some negative comments which you will not be able to find online. Its from words and mouth, friends or friends of friend having done a tour with them with negative feedback.

Go to the TA forums of the destinations of your choice and you'll get all the help you need there, without any need to use ''agents'' TripAdvisor is the best ''Agent'' for non cost advice. imvho.

Hi LewKaiXian,

I hope you find the information you need to plan your upcoming travels.

Kind regards,

The TripAdvisor Community

Sorry it did not even go beyond enquiry with EU . I have made itinerary specific enquiry with travel details that the staff either didn't bother to read or system problem? (As it was made through Tripzilla) After I have replied highlighting the details provided earlier, All she did was replied sorry not available. Not offering any alternatives or suggestions on dates or itinerary..totally lack of interest ..I have signed them off. Good Luck !

Go for Chan Brothers. Fare is slightly higher than EU but service is much better. Prompt follow up from the Sales agent and better service in overall. Tried both. EU holidays service is really below standard. Before payment for the package, will provide you an excellent service but after payment, you don't expect any response from the sales agent or manager. EU price is not really far difference from Chan Brothers, so if you can afford, Chan Brothers will be better choice. If you post on EU Facebook, you will be request to remove after they call you.

Why a private tour is the holiday you didn't know you needed, discover experiences tailored to your personal preferences when you plan your very own trip.

Private tours - where you enjoy personalised service to help you put together a fully customised itinerary - give you freedom of choice and flexibility of timing, allowing you to fully maximise your vacations.

Yet they are still a relatively new concept to Singaporean holidaymakers, most of whom are more familiar with package tours and free and easy holidays.

There are several reasons for this, the main ones being how package tours are perceived to be more cost-effective (with ready-to-enjoy itineraries featuring major attractions), how free and easy holidays are perceived to be cheaper or how both package tours and free and easy holidays are widely available.

At the same time, there is a general misconception that private tours are high-end luxury tours that only high-net-worth individuals can afford.

On the contrary, this is not the case.

Your holiday, your way

Private tours can cost below $1,000 per person for a China trip and go above $5,000 per person for Europe.

For a travelling party of four inclusive of air tickets on a regional trip, you can expect to pay from $1,900 per person for a 7-day Sri Lanka trip, or from $2,800 per person for an 8-day Korean trip.

Keen on Africa? A 10-day trip to Egypt starts from $3,900 per person while a 9-day getaway to Morocco starts from $4,500 per person.

Fancy travelling to Europe? You and your friends or family can expect to pay from $4,900 per person for a 10-day trip to Croatia or from $5,500 per person for a 10-day trip to Spain.

Ultimately, the cost really depends on your choice of destination(s), travel period, travel party size and travel requirements.

Costs may vary should you require customised conveniences such as good connecting flight timings on full-fledged airlines or centrally located hotels, tailored exclusive or extraordinary experiences such as Michelin-starred restaurant dining, overnight castle stay, behind-the-scene tour and private VIP access to attractions.

That's what makes private tours worth their price: their bespoke nature opens up more travel and lifestyle experiences to you and your family.

You can charter your own vehicle and driver, or hire your own guide conversant in your preferred language. You enjoy maximum flexibility because you can pick your preferred airlines, hotels, and restaurants. More importantly, you set the time and the duration for your activities.

Start the day at a later time, make adjustments to your itinerary on the fly, or call it a night at 5pm if you wish! Expenses can also be kept lower by staying at a lower-rated hotel or by scheduling one or two free-and-easy days at your destination(s) - especially if it's a city with a good transport system.

Either way, you get to travel on your own terms, enjoying quality time with family and friends without having to accommodate other travellers' needs and wants.

Reimagine the world

According to a spokesperson at Chan Brothers Travel, some of today's most popular destinations include Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and Australia. These destinations attract repeat travellers every year eager to look beneath the surface and delve deeper into the wealth of scenic, historical, cultural and gourmet treasures on offer.

At the same time, there is also a growing demand for private tours to the Arctic Circle to experience the Northern Lights. More adventurous travellers are also venturing further afield to explore exotic destinations like South America, Africa and the Baltic States.

When is the best time to plan your private tour? As soon as you have a destination and agenda in mind!

Allow for six months' advance notice to travel over peak or popular seasons, such as sakura season in Japan, Aurora Borealis or Midnight Sun season in Nordic countries and Great Migration season in Africa. This is to ensure that you avoid disappointment, like finding out that the hotel you wanted to stay at is fully booked. What's more, you will also chalk up more savings by locking in your choices early.

Left it till late and want to go on a last-minute getaway? No problem, get in touch with one of the personal travel advisers who will be happy to assist.

You Can Now Have A Fuss-Free Overseas Holiday & Feast Your Way Around The World — Here’s How & Where To Go

How to travel safely and explore eats around the world.

If you’ve found yourself reminiscing about the sweet flavours of fresh king crabs in the Arctics, indulging in Florentine steak or tasting delectable ice wine in Canada, you probably aren’t alone.

After all, if there’s one thing we miss about our pre-pandemic travels, it’s the authentic taste of local food — there’s just no better way to get to know a place than to wine and dine like the locals. Now that leisure travel is getting back on track, it’s time to start planning for an epicurean adventure that’ll satisfy both your wanderlust and taste buds.

Plus, when you book a tour with Chan Brothers Travel, you’ll get to travel with ease — think smaller group sizes, free cancellation and flexible refund policies — and can count on their dedicated team to prep you for everything.

Now all you’ll have to do is to jet off to your long-awaited vacay on one of these deliciously fun tours across the globe.

Oh Seoul shiok

Tongin Market

Joyangbangjik Cafe

Embark on a gourmet trail Down Under

Port Lincoln

Oyster Farm Tour

A toast to Germany

German pork knuckle

A crisp pork knuckle pairs perfectly with an ice-cold beer — and where better to get your fix of malt beers than in the city of Bamberg in Franconia? Sip on (or gulp, if you wish) Bamberg’s famous smoked beer — malted barley is dried over an open flame to achieve its dark hue and distinctive smoky flavour.

Carb lovers will also appreciate munching on maultaschen , or German ravioli. Originally found in the region of Swabia, the hearty dish is accentuated with various herbs and spices for an explosion of flavours with every bite.

Movies, music and memorable eats in USA

Niagara Falls

Hard Rock Cafe , another pitstop on the tour, probably needs no introduction. The famous American-owned brand combines the best of rock-and-roll, music memorabilia and American-style diner fare. If there is one F&B entertainment venue that represents America’s enduring mix of music memorabilia, hospitality experience and rock relics, it’s Hard Rock Cafe.

Hershey’s Chocolate World

Comfort nosh and cosy feels in Canada

Also, you can’t say you’ve been to Canada without trying its iconic ice wine — it’s the world’s largest producer of the indulgent dessert wine after all. Made from grapes frozen while still on the vine, it’s often referred to as "liquid gold", and is best enjoyed with dessert or as a sweet conclusion to the end of a meal.
