Positive footprints
Everywhere we go we endeavour to make a really good impact – whether that’s educating our travellers, transforming a local economy, utilising sustainable transport or protecting native species.
We get what you’re looking for – because we’re travellers too – so we understand what takes something from ‘holiday to trip’. It’s a tough job, but we’ve been far and wide to make sure we can give you real first hand travel advice. Like what sights are worth the extra trek, what not to pack and where to find ridiculously good food.
Travel is what you make it and we make sure it is a super enriching experience that’s positive in every way.
Just think of us as your personal planning service, on hand with local knowledge, fascinating ideas and attention to detail so it all goes swimmingly. Every destination and itinerary you see here can be adapted to suit you – so put everywhere on your to-do list and start imagining your next adventure here.
Our Heritage
We are not a small, inexperienced tour operator. Nor are we too big and impersonal. We are a dedicated Travel Specialist, who puts our heart and soul into creating an unforgettable holiday for you and have been doing so for four decades.
Meet our experts
Enthusiastic, dedicated and passionate about travel, our team of Travel Specialists know their destinations inside-out. There’s nothing like personal experience from someone who’s been to elevate your holiday out of the ordinary.
The world’s great. Pass it on
Inspiring. Confidence-building. Life-changing. We often hear these words from teachers and students returning from an overseas study trip with our award-winning Education division. That’s why we’re delighted to be launching a new initiative in 2024 – our 40th anniversary year – to help even more school children experience the wonders of Iceland, Italy, the Azores and beyond.
A percentage of revenue from every holiday you book with Discover the World will go into our new Education Bursary Fund to pay, in full, for 30 disadvantaged students who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to travel to join one of our school trips abroad. Run in partnership with the Geographical Association, this is your opportunity to support the next generation. School trips are one of the major highlights of any child’s education. Let’s help as many students as possible join one.
Our guarantee to you
Quite simply, our unique 100% guarantee means that we promise to protect you, your family, your holiday and your finances.
- Our Flexibility Promise has been designed to provide a cushion around uncertainty, giving you the reassurance to book.
- Our Travel Disruption team is on hand 24/7 should you need us

Authentic experiences for passionate travellers
At Discover the World, we champion the fight against the bland and predictable. We know that our clients are passionate and discerning travellers looking for authentic, exciting and meaningful experiences on holiday.
When we travel in a meaningful way, we gain a greater perspective on the world, develop greater empathy for people outside of our immediate circle and are left fuelled with a curiosity to understand more about cultures we have not yet experienced.
Inspiration, insight and innovation spearhead our approach to creating unique itineraries for all of our clients.
