Go Your Own Way
Looking for a flexible way to travel without the fixed schedule but with all of the support of having your own travel advisor? Independent travel is the way to go!
It might sound like a contradiction - "travelling independently but booking with a travel agent?!". But you'll have the freedom to follow your own path with plenty of opportunity for spontaneity, all while enjoying our expertise and assistance. Plus ATOL protection when you book your flights and some land arrangements.
From hitting the open road in a campervan to travelling across Europe by rail, grabbing a hop-on hop-off bus pass or arming yourself with a working holiday visa, we have a range of options to suit your style of travel.
Types of Independent Trips
Interrailing Europe
Want to ditch planes for a more sustainable mode of transport? Get yourself an Interrail pass and explore Europe by train.
Build your itinerary on-the-go, choose your stops and combine the best of Europe's cities with lesser-visited towns via an excellent network of high-speed rail lines.
Working Holidays
Ever wanted to live in another part of the world while earning money to fund your travels? Then a working holiday is perfect for you!
With our range of working holiday arrival packages, we'll hook you up with other young travellers starting their adventure Down Under, in New Zealand or Canada.
Hop-on Hop-off Bus Passes
You get to choose where you go, when you go, and how long you stay in each place. Plus, you can mix and match with your choice of accommodation and activities.
Bus passes are perfect for solo travellers as you'll meet other independent travellers along the way. And who knows, some of them might become new-found besties?
Flexible Travel Packages
Spread your wings on one of these travel packages designed for independent travellers with international flights, flexible bus passes, one or two unmissable activities, plus arrival accommodation for a smooth start to your adventure.
These itineraries are ready to book or can be customised to suit your exact travel plans. Speak to one of your travel experts to find out more.
