Small groups and local guides

The company maintains that its trips rely on small groups and local guides chosen for their knowledge of the destination. According to its presentation, these guides know the places they show in depth and convey their passion for them, while the small group size encourages conversation and bonding among participants. The company describes the result as award-winning adventures with deeper connections and experiences that are hard to replicate.

Booking conditions and added services

The site sets out a series of booking guarantees: the possibility of transferring the deposit if plans change, a price-lock promise whereby the price booked is the price paid, with no hidden costs, and the management of flights, upgrades and extra nights through the company itself. Extensions and extras are also offered, as well as the possibility of booking a private trip for groups. The company has a loyalty club and a refer-a-friend programme, as well as gift vouchers.
