When most people book a group tour, they’re thinking about the big moments: finally standing in front of the Eiffel Tower, spotting elephants on safari, or watching the sunset over the Grand Canyon. What they don’t expect—but almost always remember most—are the people.

There’s something truly special about the human connections that unfold on a group tour. Whether it’s bonding over a misadventure, sharing a laugh on a long bus ride, or being welcomed with open arms by a local host, these experiences often become the heart of your travel story.

That’s the magic of sharing meaningful travel experiences—they bond you in a way that lasts far beyond the trip itself. Have you ever made a lifelong friend while travelling? I’d love to hear about it!
