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.
