What We Do
Tailor-made travel. Active adventures. Privately-guided.
Fully Tailor Made Adventures
We’re all about getting the most out of a holiday. That’s what we do when we’re traveling so we want to bring that same approach to our itineraries. We might have mentioned it before (sorry) but we only send people to places that at least one of our founders has been to. We’re not putting together itineraries based on whatever we can find online or what comes up on TripAdvisor. We scout out the best routes, hidden gems and authentic experiences. We’ll visit iconic places but we’ll try and find unique perspectives along the way. And whilst we’ve spent time creating what we think are amazing adventures, we’re happy to work with you to tailor them to become exactly what you’re looking for. Within reason of course – there’s going to be things that we’re not experts in and we’ll happily tell you if that’s the case.
The Best Local Partners
The heroes that we’ve been lucky enough to meet whilst traveling through their countries or looking for the perfect partner to help us run our trips. We work incredibly hard (or have been incredibly lucky in some cases!) to meet people that are brilliant at taking our ideas and past experiences in their countries and turning them into safe, enjoyable and seamless trips for our travelers. We’ve got a few criteria for how we decide who to work with. They’ll be locally owned businesses, meet our safety requirements, have amazing feedback and get the balance of adventure and comfort spot on!
Different Travel Styles
Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie, a culture vulture, or somewhere in between, we’ve got a travel style that’s just right for you. Our trips are categorized to help you find your perfect match. From active adventures that get your heart racing to leisurely cultural tours where you can soak in the sights and sounds, we tailor each experience to suit different interests and fitness levels. Our Explore range is a great option to first time visitors to a country – you’ll get to see the highlights but we’ll throw some overnight active adventures your way along with ways to get to grips with the local culture. For adventurous honeymooners looking to do something different, we’ve got a range of trips just for you. Active trips will see you on the move almost every day as you cycle or trek your way around. And finally if you want a holiday that will give your kids something to brag about (humbly, of course) on the playground and will give you memories to last a lifetime, there’s our family trips. There’s a common theme throughout all of our trips though – adventure with a touch of comfort.
Responsible & Sustainable Travel
It’s impossible to ignore the huge carbon footprint that a trip across the other side of the world might leave. There’s some incredible companies out there offering flight-free travel. Unfortunately it might take a few weeks to get to some of our favourite destinations without a plane. We’re doing three things; firstly we’re measuring the carbon emissions of our trips so you can decide whether to offset in a way you think is right. Secondly we’re reducing our footprint by removing wherever possible single use plastics, offering vegan meals and other steps specific to each destination and itinerary. Thirdly, we don’t visit places that don’t share our values around poverty tourism, animal welfare or community tourism. We’re convinced that the net benefit to the local communities of respectful and sustainable travel is positive where it’s done right and we’ll continue to look for ways to be better travelers.
