Take a trip with<br />

Third Aged Tours<br />

Taking people aged over 50 on trips<br />

around New Zealand and the world for<br />

nearly 20 years has earned Third Age Tours<br />

a brag book that Director Brenda Corby-<br />

Yarrall says “businesses would give their<br />

eye teeth for.’’<br />

“Taking small groups of 10 – 24 people<br />

means I can operate the tour in a relaxed,<br />

companionable manner. We have an<br />

absolute blast when we’re away. It’s all about<br />

having fun”.<br />

“Most of my trips are run annually<br />

because they’re so<br />

popular, but I’m always<br />

adding new destinations<br />

- like “Sicily, South Italy<br />

& Vatican” + “Cuba”, as<br />

people ask for them.’’<br />

Brenda checks out<br />

all accommodation<br />

before booking it, and<br />

ensures the party spends<br />

at least a few nights at<br />

each place. “That way<br />

you don’t feel like you’re<br />

living out of a suitcase.’’<br />

Many clients now have<br />

made over 20 tours with<br />

us, one has completed a<br />

whopping 27 tours.<br />

“My clients tell me<br />

they keep coming back<br />

because of the size of the groups and our<br />

relaxed manner. My motto is ‘There are no<br />

strangers, only friends waiting to meet.’<br />

We gather together for breakfast at<br />

8.30am which sets us up for the day and<br />

everybody thinks is a very civilised hour.’’<br />

“I organise incredible trips at incredible<br />

prices. Look around, you can’t find better<br />

for all we include”.<br />
