... TTC Tour Brands brings together six award-winning tour companies — Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Luxury Gold, Brendan Vacations, Costsaver, and Contiki — offering guided travel experiences for every style and budget worldwide.
For eight decades, Trafalgar has been unlocking the world for travellers who want to see it all without the stress of planning it. Trafalgar offers more than 200 vacations across 70+ countries and six continents, with a 4.6 out of 5 rating from past guests. The idea is simple: you bring the curiosity, and Trafalgar handles everything else.
At the heart of every trip is your Travel Director and Driver team. Guests often say these two are what make a Trafalgar tour so memorable, and with them by your side from start to finish, tickets, transport, restaurant bookings, and Optional Experiences are all arranged for you. They love what they do, and their knowledge brings the stories, people, and culture of each destination to life.
Much of what you need is already included: nightly accommodations, daily breakfast, many lunches and dinners, entry to many must-see sights, and coach transportation with on-board Wi-Fi, charging stations, and bathrooms in most destinations. Many tours add scenic boat trips, train journeys, and even 4x4s, and locally guided tours in many destinations bring each stop to life.
Then there is Be My Guest, a signature Trafalgar experience that puts you at the table with the locals. On every itinerary, you step into your hosts’ lives as they open their homes, wineries, and farms, sharing family stories and warm hospitality over good food. Dine with the Landi family near Florence, surrounded by Tuscan vineyards and olive groves, or join the Quintana family at their eco-friendly hacienda in Costa Rica.
The collection is vast. Europe and Britain alone offer 108 itineraries, with more across the Eastern Mediterranean, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Australia and New Zealand. Closer to home, 32 USA and Canada itineraries include Canada’s Rockies with a Rocky Mountaineer option, the Enchanting Canadian Maritimes, Best of Eastern Canada, and Québec City and Beyond. Africa tours include a safari on every trip, with groups of no more than 35, while Asia and Latin America tours include internal flights where needed to save time.
For a more intimate pace, Small Group Tours average just 16 guests, with easier access to your Travel Director and to places larger groups often miss, such as tucked-away neighbourhoods and family-run stays. Itineraries range from Borneo to Bilbao and from Kenya to Costa Rica, all with the same Trafalgar care from start to finish.
Travel with Trafalgar also gives back. Nearly every itinerary includes a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience, such as meeting a fourth-generation weaver in Italy or visiting a family heart-of-palm plantation in Costa Rica, supporting local people, places, and wildlife. Behind the scenes, the TreadRight Foundation has supported around 60 sustainable tourism projects, and a Climate Action Plan is steering Trafalgar toward net-zero emissions by 2050.
New to the lineup, Trafalgar River Cruises bring the brand’s land-touring expertise onto the water, with sailings on the Danube, Rhine, and Seine aboard ships carrying about 126 to 128 guests. Meals onboard are included, along with house beer, wine, and spirits at lunch and dinner, and all gratuities, with a 3:1 guest-to-crew ratio that keeps service personal.
Whether it is your first guided vacation or your tenth, Trafalgar’s promise is the same: the best of the world unlocked, with every detail taken care of and a story waiting around every corner.
