Do you know everyone on your trips?
On our trips, we have a mix of repeat clients, friends, and family, but the majority of travelers are meeting us and the group for the first time.

Would it be a good idea to go on a group trip, even if we have never traveled with a group before?
Absolutely! Our group trips offer a perfect balance of scheduled activities and free time for independent exploration. Depending on the nature of the trip, you can choose to stick with the group or venture out on your own. While we do encourage active participation in group activities, you are not obligated to stay with the group for the entire duration of the trip.
Do I have to participate in group activities?
This is YOUR vacation and all group activities are optional.
Can you arrange components for us that are not included in your hosted journeys, such as flights, travel insurance, etc.?
Of course! We are a comprehensive travel agency and can arrange all aspects of your travel, including flights, travel insurance, and more. If you'd like, we can also help you add extra days to your journey so you can explore further on your own.
Will you offer the same trip again? The travel dates are not working for us.
I'm sorry to hear that the travel dates we offered won't work for you. Unfortunately, we do not repeat any of our trips regularly. However, we may consider planning similar itineraries for some destinations in the future. Please check back frequently for trip updates.
