Our verdict
Rainbow Tours is a family specialist selling tours and packages rather than loose travel tickets, and it suits anyone arranging a single organised trip from arrival to excursions. On the site it sits among 120 brands in the tours category, which is the field worth comparing it in.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A mobile app sits alongside the site, so the tours and packages in tours and packages can be searched and booked from a phone.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a family mid-trip can phone or email instead of chasing a chatbot.
- Tours are the operator's home ground, where they score 100% across the site's explore listings.
Cons
- The catalogue is narrow: tours and packages lists tours and packages, so there is no separate flight, rail or hotel search on the site.
- Support is limited to email, phone and help centre, with no live chat for quick questions between excursions.
- The tours field is small: 120 brands in the tours category against 132 in booking sites.
Who it suits
- Families and groups who want the trip and its excursions settled in a single booking, since tours and packages is tours and packages.
- Travellers who would rather phone a named operator mid-trip, with support on email, phone and help centre and contracts held by International Travel Connections Limited.
- Anyone comfortable with a specialist catalogue trading since 1997 who expects a help centre as well as the app.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone booking a flight, rail ticket or hotel alone: MoMo lists flights, rail and bus, covering the loose pieces this operator does not.
- Travellers routing over a ferry or needing a rail pass: 12Go lists flights, rail and bus, where those sit alongside tours.
- People wanting cruise, transfers or car rental in the same basket: WayAway lists flights, rail and bus.
The company behind it
Rainbow Tours has been trading since 1997 and is based in the United Kingdom, with the booking contracts signed by International Travel Connections Limited. That is a straightforward setup for a specialist family operator rather than a marketplace. After booking, support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a family mid-trip can phone, email or work through the help centre.

Frequently asked questions
What does Rainbow Tours sell?+
The catalogue is narrow by design: tours and packages covers tours and packages, with the holiday and its excursions bundled together. You are not browsing a general travel site for loose tickets, so the decision is about the trip itself rather than the departure date.
Can I plan and book on my phone?+
There is a mobile app, so the tours and packages in tours and packages can be searched and booked away from a laptop. That suits family groups where the planner works on a phone and passes the details to everyone else.
How do I reach Rainbow Tours if plans go wrong?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so phone and email are in reach alongside a help centre for questions you would rather look up. The channel set is small, so phoning is a sounder plan than waiting on a written reply mid-excursion.
Who runs Rainbow Tours?+
The operator is International Travel Connections Limited, a company based in the United Kingdom that has been trading since 1997. Booking with a named legal entity means the contract, and any problem with it, has a party to point at rather than a listing site standing in for an unnamed operator.
Who is Rainbow Tours a good fit for?+
It suits families and groups who want the whole holiday arranged in a single place, since tours and packages is built around tours and packages rather than single items. A traveller who already knows exactly where to stay may find the choice tighter than on a broad booking site.
Can I book a flight, hotel or rail ticket on the same site?+
Not as separate lines: tours and packages is tours and packages, so flights, rail and hotels come as part of a trip rather than on their own. For a single hotel, a rail ticket or a flight by itself, MoMo lists flights, rail and bus.
How does it compare with WayAway?+
WayAway lists flights, rail and bus, so it carries cruise, transfers and car rental alongside tours and packages. Rainbow Tours is the narrower, family-focused option at tours and packages, which suits a trip planned as a whole rather than loose extras arranged around it.
