About Adventures Abroad Compass
For over two decades, Adventures Abroad has distinguished itself as a pioneer in the industry with a unique brand of small group travel and now Compass adapts the signature collection of Adventures Abroad cultural journeys to provide highly affordable, authentic experiences to foreign lands just waiting to be discovered.
compass
Compass is a series of tours made more accessible for adventurous travellers who care more for thrills than frills. We have taken some of our longer standing, most popular destinations, jazzed up the itineraries with some more action and some waaay out-of-the-way places, negotiated some great deals on clean and comfortable accommodation, built in a bit more independence in the meal plan and sightseeing, and made it possible to access cheaper deals on charter flights and discounted scheduled fares. Through it all, our commitment to quality remains the same, and our experience remains part of the deal—Compass makes our special brand of small group travel possible for the discerning, and more independent, active, and budget-minded traveller.
small groups
Our groups comprise 12 to 26 participants plus an Adventures Abroad Tour Leader. Generally there is a good mix of the sexes, both with couples and single travellers. With Compass you can do more and see more at an easier pace, enjoy the peace and quiet of that special place you’ve always dreamed of, and actually hear the local guide! As food always plays an important role in the local cultural experience, we avoid large hotel buffets in favour of smaller, local restaurants for included meals.
our travellers
Our clients comprise a very special bunch of people: interesting, curious, active, and often very well travelled friends, couples, friends, and singles. Our travellers love to experience new places, peoples, cuisines, philosophies and points-of-view. Our English-speaking tours attract travellers from all over Canada, USA, Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. We have no set age restrictions, and a reasonable degree of physical fitness and an adventurous spirit are the only prerequisites for the majority of our programmes.
Travelling alone? Our guaranteed “share program” saves you money if you’re willing to share a room. Have something a little or entirely different in mind? Tell us what you’re thinking and we’ll set up a customized trip for your club, group, company, extended family, or class reunion.
itineraries
Spontaneity and flexibility are integral aspects of our trips, as are organization and efficient time management. Each of our itineraries are carefully crafted to be as detailed, accurate, and appropriately paced as possible. We also want to allow for special events and experiences that cannot always be planned. A small group can easily venture off the “beaten path” and get around by special means to interesting places that enrich the travel experience. Donkey rides, motorised safaris, and home visits give special insight into the lives of the local people. Good itineraries are, however, always evolving. Thanks to our insightful clients and tireless Tour Leaders, we are constantly revamping existing trips and brainstorming new and exciting touring ideas.
value added
Our well-travelled, experienced sales staff is very good at discerning your needs and determining your suitability for a particular programme. We are also pleased to be able to provide references from previous travellers. In addition to our published airfares from major gateways, we can quote airfares from any city in North America or Britain. We are also happy to request special airline meals, seating and stopovers. If you require extra nights accommodation either before or after your tour, we can do that too.
