By: Julie Collins Clark On the Go has especially tailored the different Tintin holidays to suit both the avid adult Tintin fan and younger travellers. Clearly marked in the brochure, the adult holidays feature a strong cultural and historical bias and most are led by a Tintin expert. Offering entertaining adventures and exciting themed activities, the Tintin family holidays are designed to bring the spirit of Tintin alive for the whole family and are suitable for children aged between seven and twelve. Guests can also create their own personalised Tintin tour and travel as a private group, handpicking properties to suit their needs. Jay Lakshman, MD of On the Go Tours says: “I feel immensely privileged to have the opportunity to collaborate with Moulinsart on developing these holidays. As a young boy growing up in India, getting hold of a new Tintin album was a real treat and I chewed through the entire collection fairly soon! To now be able to present Tintin fans worldwide with authentic holiday experiences, following in the footsteps of my favourite adventurer, truly is a special moment. Fittingly, the inaugural adventure takes place in India, with trips to Jordan and Egypt following soon. With long weekend trips to Brussels too, there’s plenty more to come in this exciting new chapter of Tintin – this is only the beginning!” Tintin Holiday Destinations India – 15 days from £2,499 per adult A two week escapade in the land of the Maharaja Gaipajama that recaptures much of the imagery portrayed in Tintin’s travels. Highlights of the trip include: Delhi – both old and new; Agra – home to the Taj Mahal and the jewel of India’s crown; Ranthambhore National Park – where those who are very lucky may spot a tiger; the City of Jaipur – the beautiful Pink City; the majestic Jodhpur – perched on the edge of the Thar Desert; and Shimla the romantic hill station and capital of the British Raj.
