Your own room included
No sharing with strangers. No single supplement on confirmed departures.
Welcome dinner on Day 1
Your guide kicks things off with introductions over drinks. Ice? Broken.
Pre-trip introductions (optional)
Say hello to fellow guests before you even arrive. Or don't — totally up to you.
"I was nervous about travelling alone, but by the second night I felt like I'd known everyone for years. The welcome dinner made all the difference."

A crazy No-Itinerary Tour where the locals decided what happened next
A Red Horse beer fuelled karaoke marathon in the Philippines
A Greek island hopping wine adventure with a well travelled boat and a very reliable corkscrew
Many long lunches that accidentally turned into long dinners
Wine Tasting Surfing in Portugal. Sadly the waves won
A worrying number of "just one more" moments
As Seen In
"One of the strangest travel experiences imaginable."
