Whilst You Are There

In July 1855, Thomas Cook arranged his first continental tour and since then we have organised trips for millions of holidaymakers. No other holiday company can match our heritage, knowledge or expertise. It's this unrivalled experience, combined with dedicated, highly valued staff and a great selection of hotels and apartments that help make Thomas Cook package holidays the best.

Great food can make or break a holiday - you can know exactly what to expect from your meal services as we include the most up-to-date information that we have about meals in our accommodation descriptions.

For our featured destinations, we would ask that customers recognize that certain social and cultural differences do exist. Whilst many of these differences can enhance your holiday experience, we would ask that you use discretion and seek our advice on visiting countries outside the EU.

There's nothing new about Corporate Social Responsibility - it was one of the driving forces of our founder Thomas Cook. And it's still a lynchpin in our company today as we lead the way to a sustainable future for the travel industry. Our partnership with The Travel Foundation, which helps to care for people and places that we love to visit, is vital to that work.

Driving overseas is a great way to explore, and at many of our destinations you can hire a car any time. However a high proportion of holiday accidents are road accidents. The rules of the road can be very different, so it is important that you obey them. Take a look at our essential tips and advice before you embark on your road trip on holiday.
