Land Tours · Seabound Journeys
Seventeen operators run what looks like the same trip and price it four different ways. We map the formats against each other, then the companies against each other, so the choice comes down to how you like to travel rather than whose brochure you opened first.

A tour director, a coach and a set itinerary. Hotels, transfers and most sightseeing are arranged for you.
The same planned-for-you idea with far fewer travelers, so the hotels and restaurants can be smaller too.
Your own guide and an itinerary built around you. The most freedom for the least planning.
The bookings and route are set up; you travel it on your own schedule, with no group.
Days built around hiking, biking or paddling, usually with a guide and a small group.
The train is the attraction: long scenic days through the window, a hotel at the end.
Unpack once and dock in the middle of town. The ship is the hotel.
Game drives with a specialist guide, lodges or camps, and wildlife as the reason to go.
The Guide Library
Eight formats and seventeen operators, each with its own guide — what's included, what isn't, who it suits and who should look elsewhere. Start with the format if you know how you want to travel, or the operator if you already have a name in mind.
Why Use an Advisor
One operator includes every meal, tipping and all excursions; another quotes a lower headline and sells the same days back to you as optional extras. Comparing two tours means comparing what each fare actually covers, not what each one costs.
Eighteen travelers and forty-four travelers are different holidays on the same itinerary — different hotels, different restaurants, different pace, different time on and off the coach. It rarely appears in the headline.
The operators pay our commission, so you pay the same as booking direct and get the comparison work included. If the honest answer is a different company than the one you asked about, we'll tell you.
Tell us where you want to go and how you like to travel — we'll match you to the right operator and price it honestly against the alternatives.
