Adventure tours
On our Adventure tours, you'll find yourself learning and trying new things—from what you do (hands-on activities) to where you’ll go (roads less traveled) to how you get around (think outside the bus).

Travel tips for Adventure trips
Small groups experiencing big things is our take on adventure travel. Each of our Adventure Tours features a group size of 10–22 travelers, the ideal size for making connections with each other, your Tour Director, local guides, and the communities you’ll visit.
Discovering ancient ruins in the Andes, tasting local specialties during market visits, riding a rickshaw through the bustling cities of Asia, and walking along scenic coastlines of Europe are just a few of the types of experiences you may have on these active tours, These trips are a great fit for travelers of all ages who are looking to get out and explore the world on active vacations.
We offer Adventure Tours to Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa, North America, and the South Pacific. Our active trips offering is always growing, so check back often to see what new destinations are added!
The short answer: Expect to cross bucket list adventures off your list!
The longer one: Another way to think about our small group adventure trips is as more active vacations. You can expect to see a mix of historic cities and smaller towns while traveling, and going off the beaten path. These are more active tours, which means you’ll be on your feet each day, sometimes for several hours at a time. You can find detailed information about the pace and included activities for these active vacations on each trip’s itinerary page.
Our Adventure Tours feature hands-on, experiential activities in off-the-beaten-path locations with small groups of 22 travelers, maximum. Like all of our trips, our Adventure tour packages include accommodations, sightseeing tours with local guides, an expert Tour Director, on-tour transportation, breakfast daily, and select lunches and dinners. We take care of all the details of your itinerary, so you can make the most of your time on our active vacations.
