Wanderlyx started in 2009 when three former tour leaders got tired of watching people photograph a place through a coach window. We build every itinerary the slow way — walking the route, eating at the family-run places, negotiating the permits ourselves.<\/p>
Today we are a team of 34 across Vancouver, Lisbon and Chiang Mai. We still cap group departures at 12 people, and your advisor stays with you from the first email to the last transfer home.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMaximum 12 travellers on every group departure\n\n\nLocal guides paid a living wage in all 62 countries\n\n\nCarbon offset and community levy built into every fare\n\n\nOne named advisor from enquiry to homecoming\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Anyone can sell you a flight and a hotel. These are the six things travellers tell us they could not have arranged alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvery group departure stops at twelve people. Restaurants say yes, guides remember your name, and nobody waits forty minutes for a bathroom stop.\n\n\n\n\nNo itinerary goes on sale until a Wanderlyx lead has run it end to end in the same season you will travel. If it does not work in monsoon, we say so.\n\n\n\n\nMissed connection in Doha, stomach bug in Cusco, passport left in a taxi. One number, answered by someone who can actually rebook you.\n\n\n\n\nOn average 71 cents in every dollar reaches businesses inside the country you visit. We publish the breakdown for each trip, audited annually.\n\n\n\n\nMove your departure once, free, up to 30 days before travel. Life happens — a knee operation should not cost you a holiday.\n\n\n\n\nATOL and ABTA covered, with client funds held in trust until you fly home. Your money is never used to run our business.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Prices are per person sharing, include all internal transport and guiding, and hold until 31 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9 days from $2,480 — Ubud rice terraces, a night with a Sidemen weaving family, sunrise on Mount Batur and four days island-hopping to Nusa Penida. Departs monthly, 12 places.\n\n\n\n\n7 days from $3,150 — Glacier Express in first class, two nights in Zermatt beneath the Matterhorn, a cheese dairy in Appenzell and free days to walk. No coaches, ever.\n\n\n\n\n6 days from $4,090 — Overwater villa on a locally-owned atoll, two guided reef dives, a sandbank dinner and seaplane transfers both ways. Adults only, no fixed schedule.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Six regions with a Wanderlyx guide on the ground year-round. Every one can be run as a private departure for your own group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom $1,890 · 5–8 days. Left Bank walking, a private after-hours hour at the Rodin, then vineyards and chateaux by bicycle.\n\n\n\n\nFrom $2,240 · 5–7 days.

Ice caves, black sand and a farmhouse with no light pollution.\n\n\n\n\nFrom $4,380 · 8–10 days, Jul–Oct. Six guests per vehicle, conservancy camps outside the park gates, and Maasai-owned land fees paid direct.\n\n\n\n\nFrom $3,420 · 8 days, late March. Ryokan nights, a tea ceremony with a ninth-generation family, and the temples at 6am before the crowds.\n\n\n\n\nFrom $2,090 · 7 days. Caldera cave rooms, a fishing boat to Thirasia, and two quiet islands most itineraries skip entirely.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Verified through Trustpilot and collected 30 days after each traveller returns home.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI have booked Japan twice before and always felt like I was queueing. Wanderlyx had us at Kiyomizu-dera at 6.10am with maybe nine other people, then a tea ceremony with a family who have done it for nine generations. The difference was not luxury — it was timing, and knowing who to ask.\n\n\nOur connection out of Amsterdam collapsed and I called the emergency line at 2.40am expecting a recording. Someone called Marta answered, had us on a Nairobi flight eleven hours later and moved the first camp night without charging us. That is the whole review, really.\n\n\nTwelve of us, no coach, and three completely free days that I initially thought were a cop-out. They were the best part. Our guide gave us four options each morning and then left us alone. I came back rested, which has never once happened on a guided trip.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
