Wandering Earl SURPRISE Tour (Sept 2024)!
Only 2 spots left!
Yes, this is a 100% surprise tour! You'll be given a city to meet in and the rest will be a complete surprise until the tour unfolds!
Are you ready for a surprise?
On this brand new Wandering Earl experience, you won’t know the trip destination until the tour actually begins! You’ll be given a city to fly to but that’s not where the tour will take place. All you need to do is get to that city and we’ll take care of the rest.
As for details, all we can say is this about the trip:
- A unique cultural experience
- 11 days in length
- Small group – maximum of 13 people
- Moderate level of physical activity
- Includes transportation to/from the final destination, all activities and most meals
- One-of-a-kind trip that no other tour operator has ever run
- Accommodations will be 3* or above
This will not be a pure beach destination (I know that many don’t want a beach tour!), it won’t require any specific abilities and it’s open to everyone over the age of 18. All you need is an adventurous spirit as they say, a willingness to embark on a journey into the unknown and a strong desire for a super fun travel experience with like-minded people.
In order to make sure it’s not a destination you’ve already visited, we’ll be sending out a questionnaire to everyone who books. But I’ll say this – the chances are low you’ve had this experience before!
I know…it’s tough to commit to such a tour with so few details. Feel free to ask us anything you want but our answers might not have all the information you’re hoping for. This trip has been years in the making…and now it’s finally here!
Are you bold enough for such an adventure? I certainly hope to see there…wherever there may be 🙂
Reserve now!

Tour Essentials
Physical Level: Moderate
While this surprise tour itself is not very strenuous, please note that it can involve the following situations: somewhat long days, up to 2 hours of walking at a time, a variety of weather conditions (don't worry, not too cold!), a longish journey or two, early morning wake-ups and other similar scenarios.
Accomodation
On this tour, we'll stay in a variety of accommodations but they'll all be 3* or 4* on the comfort scale. All rooms will have private bathrooms. There are a maximum of 8 single rooms available. These rooms will be offered on a first come-first served basis. The remainder of the rooms will be shared. Solo travelers will be paired together, two travelers per room in two single beds.
Transport
During the trip, we'll travel around using a variety of transportation methods. Of course, they'll all be (relatively) comfortable! There won't be anything crazy such as jumping on cargo trains or hitchhiking, so there's nothing to worry about on that front, but transport may involve flights, trains, boats, hot air balloons, cars, vans or perhaps something else!
Meals
The food will be excellent! You'll get breakfast every day, 7 lunches and 8 dinners included. With these included meals, we'll eat in a variety of ways - from family style, to ordering off of menus to complete surprises! All dietary restrictions can be accommodated although it might result in a limited menu.
Sustainability
As with all of our trips, we aim to offer as sustainable an experience as we can. Reusable water bottles and shopping bags are provided to all guests, trash is recycled where possible and we avoid mass tourism activities that cause harm to the environment and/or do not benefit local communities.
Small Groups
This tour requires a minimum of 10 participants and has a maximum of 13 participants in order to ensure the best small group SURPRISE tour experience. With such a small group, this trip will be truly special as we can participate in all kinds of activities that would not be possible with more people. This is the style we love and we're sticking to it!
