Where is your next Journey?


The World has re-opened and we are excited so many people are choosing to Journey again. We're equally excited that most of our portfolio of Journeys are receiving bookings and operating. The world we travel in has changed with Covid, and we will likely have more obstacles to manage, but with Journey you can rest assured we are well-prepared with our experienced staff, world-class logistics and a strong core. And we are able to make smart changes should they be needed to make your vacation the trip of a lifetime.

Journey is Different.

Avoiding the traditional large tour model was where we began and we didn't stop there.
Creating an enhanced Journey for the Modern Traveler became our passion and is our guiding principle.

Prefer to avoid the big tour operator's large buses, long lines and touristic restaurants?
Yes, that's our preference, too. With Journey's approach you'll feel special,
set apart from the touristic mobs, and you will want to travel again and again as a Modern Traveler.
