When it comes to planning trips, the most daunting aspect for me is usually planning an itinerary and finding the best tours and activities. Just go on Viator and do a search on Cairo Egypt and you'll get back nearly 10,000 results! If you're haunting for a good bargain, you may look at other travel experience marketplaces like GetYourGuide, Civitatis, or Project Expedition and find a few hundred more results.
The massive amount of options to sort through can be tasking. When I visited Cairo for the first time, I went through nearly 1,500 travel experience listings over several days. You may give up and pick from the first 50 options you find and call it a day, but I make the effort to go through as much options as possible so I'm sure I'm finding everything possible there is to do in a destination and I'm booking the right experience, with the right tour agency, for the right price.
When I started my travel agency, I began to create blog posts of tours and activities I had curated for a destination. I curate these lists whenever I plan a trip for a client or for myself. I also update them as needed. Having these blog posts allows me to easily share these curated lists with others and save them the time and stress of sorting through so much information themselves.
This post acts as a glossary of tours and activities for every destination I've planned for either myself or a client. It is by no means complete, but as I continue to travel the world and assist others in doing so, it will continue to grow until hopefully all 195 countries are on the list!
So if you need some inspiration for your next trip, hopefully this post will be helpful to you. If you plan on going to a destination I don't yet have a list for, feel free to contact me and I'll gladly curate one for you!
Africa
Africa is the second-largest continent in the world, after Asia. It is home to over 1.3 billion people, making it the continent with the second-largest population in the world. It is a vast and diverse continent, with a wide range of cultures, languages, and landscapes. Some of the most famous landmarks in Africa include the pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, and the Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is also home to many unique wildlife species.
Africa is a continent with a diverse range of travel experiences to offer. From the bustling cities of Morocco to the ancient pyramids of Egypt, there is something for everyone. Below are a few ideas for travel experiences you can have in Africa.
Antarctica
Antarctica is the southernmost continent on Earth. It is the fifth-largest continent, in the world. It is also the coldest, windiest, and driest continent on Earth. Despite its harsh climate, Antarctica is home to a unique ecosystem. It is a realm of breathtaking beauty ruled by penguins and magnificent icebergs. This frozen paradise offers boundless opportunities for awesome encounters with fascinating wildlife and awe-inspiring spectacles of shimmering ice. It's a thrilling journey that takes you out of your comfort zone and into a world where the wild beauty of penguins, titanic icebergs, and nature's undisturbed grandeur will captivate your spirit.
I have yet to visit Antarctica nor plan a trip for a client. But if you plan to visit you would be going with an expedition company and not on your own. So this is not a destination you will book travel experiences for on your own.
Asia
Asia is the largest continent in the world, with a population of over 4.5 billion people. The continent is home to some of the world's oldest and most populous countries, such as China, India, and Indonesia. It is also home to some of the world's most isolated and sparsely populated countries, such as Mongolia and Bhutan.
Asia is a true melting pot of exotic cultures and vibrant tapestry of adventures waiting for you to uncover. Walk through bustling food markets under neon lights, trek into peaceful bamboo forests heavy with the scent of incense, or dive deep into azure waters teeming with marine life. Discover a world where tradition and modernization coexist, creating a feast for the senses. Explore Asia, and let each unique experience enrich and transform your world view.
Below are some ideas for travel experiences you can have while visiting Asia.
Australia/Oceania
The Australian continent is the smallest continent on Earth, but it is still the sixth-largest country in the world. The Australian continent is made up of the mainland of Australia, the island of Tasmania, and a number of smaller islands. The continent is a fascinating place with a rich history and culture. It is a land of extremes, with a unique ecosystem and a diverse population. It has the driest desert in the world, the Great Victoria Desert, and the wettest rainforest in the world, the Daintree Rainforest.
I have yet to visit this continent nor plan trips for any clients. When I hopefully do, I will add my curated lists here.
Europe
Europe is the smallest continent by area, but it is the third-most populous continent, after Africa. With a rich history deeply etched in every corner, Europe's stunning architecture is a testament to its vibrant culture. Walk through time as you explore ancient Roman ruins, marvel at the Greek philosophy hub, gasp in awe at Italian Renaissance art, or be captivated by the bold, intricate lines of Gothic cathedrals. Experience the spectrum of culture that permeates European cuisine, fashion, music, and traditions. Europe invites you to embark on a journey like no other.
Below are some ideas for travel experiences you can have while in Europe.
North America
North America is the third-largest continent in the world by area, after Asia and Africa. It is a continent filled with majestic mountains, vast rivers, vibrant cities, and an array of cultural festivals.
Wander through the towering Rockies, raft down the mighty Mississippi, immerse yourself in the urban buzz of thriving cities like New York and Toronto, and then soak in the colorful traditions at regional festivals. North America promises an endless array of adventures or simply the tranquility of its vast natural beauty.
