Frequently asked questions

What is a Getaway?

A Getaway is a small-group adventure designed for travellers who simply want to explore. No work. No study. Just incredible destinations, unforgettable experiences and like-minded people. Every trip is carefully curated to help you see the highlights, discover hidden gems and travel with confidence.

Who are Getaways for?

Getaways are perfect for solo travellers, couples and friends looking for an unforgettable adventure. Whether it's your first overseas trip or your tenth, you'll join a group of like-minded travellers and experience a destination in a way that's fun, social and completely stress free.

What's included in a Getaway?

Every Getaway is different, but your trip will typically include accommodation, selected meals, unforgettable experiences and the services of a professional local guide. You'll find a full breakdown of exactly what's included on each trip page before you book.

Can I travel solo?

Absolutely. In fact, many of our travellers do. Small-group travel makes it easy to meet like-minded people, share incredible experiences and build friendships along the way, while still giving you the freedom to enjoy some downtime whenever you want.

Why should I choose a Getaway instead of travelling independently?

Planning a trip can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. A Getaway takes care of the logistics, so you can spend less time organising and more time enjoying the adventure. With a carefully planned itinerary, authentic local experiences and a professional guide leading the way, you'll see more and stress less.

How many travellers will be on my Getaway?

Our Getaways are designed for small-group travel, with most trips welcoming between 6 and 12 travellers. It's the perfect size to create a fun, social atmosphere while giving you a more personal, flexible and immersive experience than travelling with a large coach tour.

Will I have free time?

Absolutely. While every itinerary includes incredible experiences and must-see highlights, you'll also have free time to explore at your own pace, relax or tick off those extra experiences that interest you most.
