Although we’ve spent 60 years perfecting small-group travel, we know that there are often times when travelers prefer the option of private travel with their own traveling party and departure date. But it’s often a difficult process to plan itineraries from scratch, book the right hotels or organize quality guides each day and true costs are often vague until the final stages.
That’s why we introduced Independent Journeys, a collection of ready-to-book itineraries that combine the uncompromising quality of Travcoa, with expert planning and the opportunity to depart on virtually any date – for two people or as many as you like. Our Independent Journeys have proven so popular, we continue to expand the available itineraries with now more than 80 choices around the globe.
