What we do for you

  • Trip development From idea to finished programme: route, pace and content, shaped around your customers.
  • Tailor-made programmes A programme for a particular group or theme, in the travel style you are looking for.
  • Local organisation What needs arranging on the ground is something we settle with you per destination. You tell us whether you want ground services only or the full trip.
  • Guides and tour leaders We recruit, select and place guides and tour leaders worldwide. Tell us the destination, dates, language and type of trip.

Questions from tour operators

What should I put in a first request?

Start with what you already know: destination, dates or period, group size, language needed and type of trip. For a programme, the routing also helps, with arrival, departure and fixed stops. If something is still missing, send your request anyway.

Does everything need to be fixed before I send something?

No. An idea or a rough period is enough to start the conversation. Say what is fixed and what is still open, so we know what we can respond to.

Can I request only a guide or tour leader?

There is a separate form for that. Give the destination, dates, language needed and type of trip, and mention whether a programme already exists. A request is not yet a confirmation: we will talk through with you what is possible.

What terms apply?

They are not listed here, because they can differ per assignment. The form of the partnership is something we agree with you.
