We offer a variety of group departures to destinations around the globe so that solo travelers meet other singles and travel in the safety of a group.
We are involved with our clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, while on tour, offering get-togethers, tour options, parties, events, and of course, dining together so that nobody is alone unless they choose to be.
