The Worldwide Quest Experience:
Travel is an art and a craft. It’s a combination of special unforgettable experiences and flawless technical proficiency. Making sure you travel well is a skill that comes with insider knowledge, know-how and imagination. It’s something we’ve been doing since 1970; creating unique itineraries for inquisitive travellers to some of the world’s most intriguing destinations.
Every trip we create features these essentials:
Experiential Travel
It’s the way we connect you to where you are; by learning, tasting, observing, meeting; by actively getting in touch with every destination. Whether you’re grilling BBQ at an estancia in Argentina, getting an impromptu language lesson from schoolchildren in Vietnam, receiving blessings from a shaman in the shadow of Machu Picchu or being welcomed for dinner at a family home for India’s Holi celebration, our signature moments are ways you will truly understand the joys of travel.
Customization
Our trips are unique, handcrafted itineraries honed from years of experience in the field. We make sure you visit the “must see” places, but we pride ourselves on the unique and authentic extras that allow you to really experience a destination. Youʼll notice that we only offer one departure for each of our trips, not scores run in an endless loop. That is because as a boutique travel company we focus on depth not breadth.
Discovery and Enrichment
Our expert leaders and hosts, both North American and local, bring scholarship, specialized knowledge, and congeniality. We view museums with their curators, churches and temples with their priests, ancient ruins with their archaeologists. We design our visits so that you have time to ask questions and dig deeper.
Value
We respect the investment you make in your travels. Your time, your budget and your dreams are precious. We know we must be doing something right because over 70% of our business comes from past travellers. Those who like the WQ Experience come back for more because they know where ever they go around the world or whichever WQ trip type they choose, we deliver what we promise.
Small Group Sizes
Small is beautiful. Small means you can gather around, hear what your leaders are saying, ask questions, delve deeper. Small means you can all sit around a table for meals and get to know each other. Small allows you to get up close and personal with every part of your travel experience.
Responsibility
We consider the impact of our travels on the places we visit and travel small to reduce our footprint. We connect with local resources to support communities where we travel. We think carefully about how we can contribute to bringing hearts and minds together on our shared planet.
These are just a few words about what’s important to us. But it’s what comes next that really matters. We invite you to call us and experience Worldwide Quest.
