ARE THESE TOURS FOR ME?

It doesn't matter whether you're an experienced traveller or this is your first time away
All we're looking for a people who are easy going, up for an adventure, and most importantly a good laugh and a good time!
If you've seen the Morocco trip, you'll know what the vibe is going to be. We don't take ourselves too seriously, everyone just wants to have the most fun as possible.
A lot of the trips are very physically active and require a reasonable level of fitness
If you're high maintence, looking for perfection and pure luxury, then look elsewhere! These trips aren't budget backpacking by any means, we're not staying in dorms, eating cheap food. Accommodation is great, restaurants are hand-picked by the local team. But remember this is an adventure! Be ready for it.
Accommodation on this trips is twin-share, solo travellers will share a room with other travellers of the same gender (or pay an additional single room supplement). These trips are a great opportunity to get to know other like-minded people, so embrace it while you can!
