About World Journeys

World Journeys has a simple mission: "We design journeys that we, as travellers, would undertake ourselves. In our youth, we travelled the world on a budget, arriving into cities late at night with nothing pre-arranged, battling through bureaucracy and language barriers to prove we could do it on our own. In later years we found, like many, that we had less time to travel, let alone the luxury of having time to plan our travel."

That’s what inspires World Journeys today. World Journeys’ travel designers plan journeys so you don’t have to. Itineraries are crafted on personal knowledge and experience.

Tailor made journeys

These journeys showcase trips to some of the most exciting, fascinating and exotic places on earth. They are World Journeys' personal suggestions of what to do, what to see and where to stay. World Journeys knows travellers value flexibility so there are generally no set departure dates and itineraries are not regimented. Journeys can be tailor-made to suit your needs. World Journeys offers professional planning and expert knowledge, working with you to create your dream trip. Backup services take the stress out of travel; if your flight is delayed or transport doesn’t show, the experts will sort out the arrangements. You will also receive beautifully prepared documents which are a wonderful memento of your travel.

Group journeys

As well as tailor made journeys, group itineraries are also featured. Travelling in a group makes travel to certain destinations more achievable, and you can enjoy the company of people from all around the world.

Hosted journeys

Enjoy unique and inspiring small group travel to some of the most fascinating places on earth. Emerging ‘hot’ favourites such as Cuba, Ethiopia, Japan, the Silk Road and Sri Lanka have been added to the mix. These journeys are guaranteed to go with a maximum group size of 24, with a World Journeys host to smooth the way.
