Compass is an exciting series of tours from an industry leader in small group adventure travel. Since 1987, our parent company, Adventures Abroad, has set a high standard on its huge range of cultural journeys around the world, from Andean trekking trips and classical tours of Italy, to in-depth cultural explorations of such diverse places as India and Madagascar.
Compass is a leaner series of tours made more accessible for adventurous travellers who care more for thrills than frills. We have taken some of our longer standing, most popular destinations, jazzed up the itineraries with some more action and some waaay out-of-the-way places, negotiated some great deals on more budget-oriented accommodation, built in a bit more independence in the meal plan and sightseeing, and made it possible to access cheaper deals on charter flights and discounted scheduled fares.
Through it all, our commitment to quality remains the same, and our experience remains part of the deal—Compass makes our special brand of small group travel possible for the discerning, yet more independent, active, and budget-minded traveller.
