About Us:

Redefining travel.

We are a minority-owned social travel enterprise bringing a new immersive way to see the world. We focus on building real, fun connections with locals and other travellers and making a positive impact through responsible travel.

What does it mean to join a Hybrid Tour? We encompass the best of both worlds: recreation and education.

We ensure that our guests see the best of what a country has to offer, together with some hidden gems as part of our unique itineraries curated with locals. But most importantly, we work together with refugees and displaced communities. Through our permanent partnership with Our World Too, we can provide the travellers who join us with the opportunity to meet them ethically face to face and to engage with them. After all, what better way to understand history than to learn about it from people who have lived it?

Through our sustainable tours, we aim to break stereotypes, build bridges between travellers and locals, and showcase the best of what a country has to offer, and all of this is done in a fun, immersive and ethical way. Every one of our tours has a direct impact on the communities that we visit, both from a financial and emotional perspective.

All travel trends point towards people seeking more authentic and unique travel experiences. Through our years of expertise in the travel and humanitarian spaces, we have created a new product that positively impacts both travellers and communities that engage with us.
