These trips have been chosen by Civilized Adventures for several reasons. Each is operated by our select, trusted, overseas affiliates and they offer superb value because they are “set departures”, meaning they depart on specific dates throughout the year and trip cost is based on a certain group size. Unlike our hosted departures, where a representative from Civilized Adventures, the Calgary Zoo, or one of our other affiliates joins you throughout the trip, these "Locally Guided Adventures" are hosted in the destination country by our trusted overseas experts (i.e. they live in the destination country).

Where do you start? Talk to us! Tell us where you want to go and what level of travel you’re comfortable with. Working together, we can direct you to options that best suit your criteria.

The cornerstone of any Civilized Adventure is our own passion for exploring the world and experiencing what a country or area is all about. We bring that passion to over 15 years of trip-planning experience. Let us combine our experience with your dreams to result in your very own trip of a lifetime.
