Tailor-made Private Tours of USA

Have you ever considered a private, luxury road trip in the US? This may be your own backyard, but drawing up a plan to explore our vast country in style can be challenging, especially when you want to get off the beaten path. The good news is our experts at Enchanting Travels bring in-depth, first-hand knowledge to create well-planned luxury breaks and tailor-made road trips capturing the best of the US, particularly its magnificent natural wonders.  If you’re dreaming about escaping into the wild and experiencing a carefree getaway, leave the arrangements and logistics to us.

Experience the United States’ great wild places—you’ve got 58 ecologically and culturally diverse national parks to choose from. At every park we offer an array of outdoor adventures, privately guided hikes, and opportunities for wildlife spotting.  Private boating trips, glamping in tents under starry skies, and secluded luxury hotel accommodations  are just a few of the many ways you can experience the USA with the expertise and security of Enchanting Travels.  

Each American city has its own unique allure too, and many are gateways to national parks.  Buzzing San Francisco can lead you to famous Yosemite with its dizzying waterfalls and giant sequoia groves. On the West Coast hit the open road on California’s famous Pacific Coast Highway to experience the glory of Big Sur with stops at iconic destinations including Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, McWay Falls and wildlife viewing in Monterey. Further north, past gorgeous redwood forests, take a detour to enjoy exclusive wine tasting tours in the Napa and Sonoma valleys.

Salt Lake City opens doors to Arches and Zion National Parks with their stunning sandstone landscapes. Add on luxury accommodation in remote hideaways to make this a dream Southwest getaway.

From the sunny city of Denver, make your way to Rocky Mountain National Park for breathtaking vistas from the Continental Divide and incredible outdoor adventures in the heart of the Rockies.

A private experience with Enchanting Travels means your itinerary is customized to highlight the things that bring you joy.  If you’re looking for larger-than-life landscapes, the all-American classic Yellowstone National Park is spread across three states and packed with wildlife. If you’d like some history lessons with your sweeping vistas, Mesa Verde National Park in southwest Colorado has fascinating cliff dwellings and petroglyphs. Looking to get your heart racing? Hike deep into the Grand Canyon or take a helicopter flight over its steep gorges.

We’ll tailor-make your itinerary so you can do more than go on a road trip in the USA. We’ll ensure you experience the best of our nation’s natural gems while staying in luxury accommodations and enjoying the diverse landscapes and cultures of our country.

Tailor-Made travel

Build your adventure, your way

Our Tailor-Made trips show you the world on your terms. We turn dreaming into doing. All you need to do is tell us what your dream adventure looks like. Whether you tailor one of our trips or build your own - we’ll bring it to life.

So what are you waiting for? Let's create an exclusive trip for your group.

You've explored our destination and tester trips for inspiration, so next it's time to tell us all about your travel dreams. It's all about choices - make as few or as many as you like, we're here to help every step of the way.

We'll match you with one of our specialist consultants, there to guide you through any tricky logistics, offer advice, arrange as many activites as you like and together tailor the unique local experiences our insider knowledge offers.

We'll work with our local teams to bring you a day-to-day itinerary with costs for your chosen group. You can then work closely with your specialist consultant to get all those personal details right, before even paying a deposit.

It's time to turn dreaming into doing. Once you're happy with your itinerary, lock it in, get your confirmation, and look forward to your unforgettable trip, with support from us from now, right until you return home.

Tailor an existing trip or build your own

We've been creating thousands of trips for over 30 years and on every continent, so you can trust we can make your dream adventure a reality.

With our teams traveling, living and working where we visit, their knowledge is deep, personal and gives you the kind of experiences only locals know.

You can travel easy knowing every trip has Intrepid's responsible and local values at its core - giving back to local communities, businesses and the environment.

We've rethought how we travel so you can trust that your wellbeing and safety is our top priority, from flexible booking conditions to safety guidelines.

Do I have to choose an existing Intrepid itinerary?

Not at all. Tailor-Made means you can choose to make a fully custom itinerary with the assistance of our expert specialist consultants or choose one of our 1,000+ existing itineraries to modify to suit your group’s specific needs. This can include upgrading the hotels, slowing down or speeding up the pace or adding a focus like food or physical activity.

Is it more cost-effective to book a Tailor-Made Experience?

This will depend on the destination, the standard of accommodation, the amount of included activities, the itinerary and how many passengers will be traveling with you. Generally, if you were to run a private group trip of 6 or more, the price becomes comparable to our publicly available group trips.

How long does it take to get a pricing proposal?

Our specialist consultants will be able to provide you with an estimated time frame once we've received the details of the kind of Tailor-Made Experience you are looking to create.

What is included in my pricing proposal?

This will depend on your requests, but generally a pricing proposal for a Tailor-Made experience includes a custom itinerary from one of our expert specialist consultants featuring a local leader, transport, accommodation, some meals and some activities and excursions.

What's not included in my pricing proposal?

The pricing proposal for Tailor-Made Experiences does not include the cost of:

International Flights : We can provide separate pricing for international airfares if departing from the UK or Australia.

Travel Insurance : We can advise on where to purchase travel insurance. Note if you’re departing from Australia, we can also assist with arranging your travel insurance.

What is the minimum number for a Tailor-Made trip?

We can create a Tailor-Made experience for groups of four or more. Depending on the request, prices become comparable to our public small group adventures with 6 or more.

Tailor-Made is also an option with our Adventure Cruising and Polar experiences, but minimum numbers are variable. Please get in touch with a Tailor-Made specialist consultant for more information.

Can you include free of charge spaces for group organizers, hosts, chaperones etc.?

We can include the cost of a free-of-charge (FOC) spot with any pricing proposal. The cost of this spot will then be averaged out among the paying passengers. Please advise us when requesting a pricing proposal whether you’ll need any FOC spots for your trip.

Can you tailor-make a trip for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Everyone should feel comfortable when they travel with Intrepid, and we know that many of our travelers are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, so we are here to make your trip easy and relaxed. Your specialist consultant is there to listen and work through any concerns, sharing their knowledge of local laws and customs, as some destinations we visit have laws that discriminate against LGBTQIA+ people.

How will you look after my safety on a Tailor-Made trip?

Your safety is our top priority, no matter what type of trip you’re on. We have extensive and recently updated Health & Safety Guidelines to ensure you are looked after. Learn more about our safe travels policies  here .

What support will I be offered on a Tailor-Made trip?

With Tailor-Made we’re here to help every step of the way, from the specialist consultant who helps you design your itinerary and answers any questions you have, to the local leaders and guides in your chosen destination and the on-ground operations teams there with support until the end of your trip.

What’s the process when I contact you to start creating my Tailor-Made trip?

1. Get to know your Tailor-Made specialist consultant When you call, email or fill out a form online, you’ll be put in touch with a specialist who knows your destination well or is an expert in your area of interest. They’ll be able to guide you through any tricky logistics, offer advice and arrange as many activities as you like.

2. Get the itinerary priced After we’ve put together an itinerary based on your group’s interests, we’ll get a quote from our local teams on the ground in our Destination Management Company (DMC) offices worldwide.

3. Receive your pricing proposal As soon as we receive costs from our local team, we will send through a detailed day-by-day itinerary with costing for your group size. From here you can request changes or move forward with paying a deposit to request your tour services.

4. Lock it in Once you are happy with the itinerary and ready to go ahead, we’ll need to collect deposits per person along with the full names of the group. Once we have everyone’s deposits on file, our local teams will begin confirming the elements of your trip. This can take 5-7 business days. Once the trip is confirmed, we will send you a confirmation pack, which means that services and prices are locked in.

Spiritual tours to the british isles: england, ireland, scotland and wales.

Body Mind Spirit Journeys coordinated an absolutely flawless travel experience. Everything was splendidly planned and executed. The trip was worth every penny and then some! – P.& B. Trapnell – Dallas TX

Guided Small Group Tours to the Sacred Sites and Power Centers of Europe

We are honored to have formed alliances with such notable experts as Kathleen McGowan and Dr. Semir Ogmanagic who lead our Mary Magdalene France and Bosnian Pyramid programs. With our spiritual group travelers they share an intimate knowledge of such magical places as Mont St Michel, Rennes – le – Château, Sarajevo and Zavidovici. It is one thing to “know” Kathleen from her New York Times best selling historical novels and her appearances on The History Channel’s Ancient Aliens and Bible Secrets Revealed television programs, but it is something much more profound to walk with her through Chartres Cathedral to its transformational labyrinth. In Visoko, you can explore the oldest and largest pyramids in Europe with “Dr. Sam,” who discovered them.

Explore Earth’s Oldest Civilizations

Discover the Ancient Citadels of the Americas

Some people are surprised that Hiram Bingham’s “Lost City of the Incas” is not the only stop on their Peru itinerary. Although it may be the highlight, tours to Machu Picchu also typically include Cusco, Sacsayhuaman, the Sacred Valley, Pisac, Ollantaytambo and sometimes even Lake Titicaca and the mystical inter-dimensional portal of Aramu Muru.

Similarly, there is much more to Sedona, Arizona than the energy vortexes. We delight in sharing such experiences as hikes in Oak Creek Canyon, walking a labyrinth, meditating in a medicine wheel and even browsing through Southwest art at local galleries.

According to Maya legend, the oval-shaped Pyramid of the Magician at Uxmal was built in one night by a dwarf magician who had been hatched from an egg. It, along with Chichen Itza, Ek Balam, Calakmul and Tulum are only a small fraction of the tradition-rich citadels that Mexico’s Yucatan have to offer. We also visit water-filled cenotes and shop for colorful handicrafts in picturesque markets.

And, of course, all our small group tours are led by experts in their field, plus you also enjoy the extra experience of traveling with like-minded people.
