Choose Your Journey Style - Guided Group Journeys

“Pack” might actually describe it better than “group.” Travel lightly with a small band of kindred spirits as you sniff out interesting places, experience intriguing encounters with others, and share good times along the way. Journey itineraries are constructed to allow lots of room for personal experience, activity options, and serendipity. We drive the van, but you drive your own journey.

Group makeup and size

Off the Beaten Path Guided Group Journeys run with as few as four guests, and cap at 16. Groups usually average about ten travelers, and often include parents or grandparents with teens, couples, and a few solo travelers. (We do offer special family departures so families with younger children can travel with other families if they wish.)

Guides

Your guide is a seasoned, mature professional, with expertise in such areas as botany, wildlife biology, and history. And we have one of the best guest-to-guide ratios in the business—an average of five guests to every one guide. Your guides are always accessible, and happy to answer all your questions, ranging from “how many wolf packs are there now in Yellowstone?” to “what time is breakfast?”

"You could not have done a better job! We've taken lots of trips as a family, but this was the best. We're already looking at your itineraries for next year..." —Carlos J.
