Be a partNer. Not a tourist

Venture Travel

In small group travel, we connect to the economic and cultural beat of a dynamic place—large cities and rural areas. We hike and bike, and enjoy exceptional local food and drink. Specialized experiences better our understanding of culture and history. We meet artists, students, entrepreneurs and journalists. We connect to individual and family stories.

When you connect to others’ stories, you think differently about your own.

What makes Ventures unique? The curious-minded people who join each intimate (max 8 people) journey.
