When to Book Your Tour

When should I book my tour?

Good news! We offer the flexibility to book your tour on the dates that suit you best, subject to availability. You’re already ahead of the game by planning your adventure! You might be thinking, “When’s the perfect time to plan this tour?” or “When should I lock in my tour dates?”

Planning ahead is key! Our adventure tours are meticulously hand-crafted to ensure you have the best possible experience while traveling. Coordinating these logistics is a complex process that involves the dedicated efforts of our entire team, both in the US and overseas. We include lodging at small, boutique hotels along the route, often in locations where comparable alternatives are scarce or nonexistent. These unique accommodations often book up well in advance, especially in popular areas and during the peak travel season. Because we book your tour on your requested travel dates, it is crucial to plan ahead.

From managing our curated lodging collection and luggage transfers to arranging bike rentals and other included services, we invest significant time and care to perfect every detail of your private tour, providing you with the most memorable trip experience!

Recommended Booking Timeline:

In general, we recommend booking at least 3 months in advance of your desired tour start date. In some cases, more advance notice is necessary due to limited hotel availability during peak travel times, or when in-country airfare or special permits are included in your tour, such as those for Galapagos or Peru’s Machu Picchu.

Last-Minute Bookings (less than 60 days’ notice): 
Securing bookings with less than 60 days’ notice can be challenging due to limited hotel availability and the complexity of tour logistics. We encourage you to contact us directly to inquire about last-minute availability!

Self-Guided Tours – Europe:

  • Book 3-4 months in advance of travel for most travel dates.
  • Book 4-6 months for September and early to mid-October dates.

Note: If your dates are fixed/inflexible and/or you have a group of 6 or more, we recommend booking earlier than the above guidelines to ensure we can accommodate your specific request.

Privately Guided Tours – All Countries:

  • Book 4+ months in advance of travel for most destinations and dates.
  • Galapagos and Peru should be booked no less than 6 months in advance of travel.
  • Holidays: All privately guided tours should be booked 6+ months in advance if your dates are during the December – NYE festive season.

Note: If your dates are fixed/inflexible and/or you have a group of 6 or more, we recommend booking earlier than the above guidelines to ensure we can accommodate your specific request.
