What exactly is a HOSTED trip? A hosted trip is a group trip that includes an experienced worldwide traveler who joins the journey alongside everyone else. This host travels with the group, helps people get around, and is available to answer questions throughout the trip. Their role is to provide guidance, support, and reassurance while moving from place to place—making the travel experience smoother and more enjoyable for everyone.
