For those not familiar with my groovy tours, I’ve been offering small group trips to destinations around the world ever since 2012 when I organized my first one to fascinating India. And from the start, the focus has been on providing something very different than your typical group tour.
With these trips, think of it as a bunch of friends exploring the world together. You won’t be herded around, you won’t travel in big buses and you won’t stay at large tourist hotels that just shuttle big groups in and out every day.
Instead, you’ll get into the heart of a destination, meet people, try the most local dishes, wander through random neighborhoods and explore off-the-beaten track locations beyond the main photo opportunities. Of course, you’ll also visit the major sights along the way too.
These trips are designed to be local, educational and super-fun travel experiences, not cookie-cutter tours that big tour companies run over and over again.
As a result, no two tours are ever the same. We always keep a flexible itinerary at all times because you never know where the journey will lead! This is the core concept of my Wandering Earl Tours.
Travelers of all ages and nationalities are of course welcome to join these trips! No matter where you’re from or whether you’re 23, 43 or 73, the theory is, “If you genuinely love travel, you’ll fit right in!”
And there are only 10 people per tour. It’s an ideal size to hang out and share the adventure with your fellow travelers without being lost in a big crowd.
When it comes to cost, I work hard to ensure that every tour is an incredible value. They always include accommodation, transportation within the destination country, a long list of activities, all entrance and guide fees, excellent meals and plenty of surprises along the way.
You can check out all the details on the brand new Wandering Earl Tours website:
So, 2018 here we come! I’m looking forward to it with great excitement and I also look forward to traveling with many of you!
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
