Travel Past 50 Tours, like the TravelPast50 travel blog, was born out of interest from friends and readers to join us visiting some of the places we love the most. In response, we’ve created tours that blend places we know well with new places we want to explore, and classic sites, local dining, and engaging tours.
Here’s what makes our Travel Past 50 Tours unique:
- Small group tours (maximum 14 guests)
- Accompanied by Kris and Tom, with benefit of their life-long travel experience
- Custom-created itineraries combining cultural experiences with local cuisine and active tour options
- Sufficient unscheduled time
- Additional local expert guides as appropriate
- Local secrets not usually on tourist itineraries
- Comfortable travel, luxury touches, and affordable rates
- Kris and Tom’s helpful travel tips, shared with the group via personal communications in advance of the trip: getting ready to travel, what to pack, recommended reading, and how to enjoy to the max
Our goal is to introduce our tour guests to new destinations and new insights, offering everyone the opportunity to enjoy independent travel and free time along with the pleasure of meeting new people in our select group. Join us!
