Managing Director's Message

Welcome to Compass, your site for adventure-with-comfort! These special tours follow a formula that launched Adventures Abroad back in 1987 under the slogan "A shared small group experience." Though much has changed in the industry, and our catch phrase has enjoyed several reincarnations, much of our concept and motivation remains true to the original—Small group, low-impact travel experiences at a great value. Adhering to these principles, Compass takes the adventure to the next level with a series of trips that are a bit more active, a little further off the beaten path, but with the same level of service, inclusions, and comfort enjoyed by our travellers for the past 25 years. Through it all, our commitment to quality remains the same, and our experience remains part of the deal— let Compass show you the way to the ultimate active adventure.

Flexibility

Our "module system" gives you complete control over your tour's content and duration, our small groups can venture beyond well-worn tourist paths to experience the unexpected, and our itineraries are creative and responsive, with departures that can be set for whenever suits you best.

Experience

With considerable cultural diversity among our office staff and Tour Leaders complementing our staggeringly high accumulation of number of years' experience in small group travel, we know precisely what to do, where to do it and how best to get it done. We love everything about travel and have been sharing our passion with a loyal, sophisticated clientele for years.

Quality

Our hotels, local guides, pre-departure service and sensitivity to your requirements are never compromised. Word of mouth has long been one of our greatest sources of repeat business and we are thrilled that so many travellers stopped shopping for tour operators after they found us!

Value

We formulate our tours from design through execution, so we know our product intimately. When you book with us, you take advantage of our first-hand knowledge, our expertise and our extensive network of contacts, features that permit our ensuring your travel experience achieves paramount quality.
