For our Guaranteed Departures, the booking process is the easiest. These small group tours are ideal for travellers looking to meet new people and share stories. They are designed to be intimate enough to focus on each guest’s needs, yet provide a fun and balanced journey with plenty of experiences. Our goal is to make every tour enjoyable, engaging, and full of unforgettable memories. While last-minute options are sometimes available, we recommend booking early to secure your spot.
However, many of our predefined tours can also be booked privately for extra comfort and flexibility. These Private tours are tailored exclusively to your preferences, ensuring a unique and intimate adventure, as they offer a more exclusive experience with a travel approach adjusted around your travel pace. These tours take a bit more planning and come with a higher price tag due to the added exclusivity.
All our predefined tours can serve as inspiration for custom, tailor-made experiences. We can adjust these tours to match your preferences, time and pace – or make a completely new tour according to your wishes. Every client who chooses our tailor-made tours is assigned a dedicated Travel Advisor, who will be at your disposal throughout the entire booking process and during the tour itself – at no extra cost.
