Travel Curious, specializes in providing private, unforgettable cultural tours and bespoke experiences with handpicked guides to travelers in 62 cities around the world. Travel Curious is unique in the tours and activities sector due to the scale of its operation, its policy of handpicking its 900+ tour guides, and the fact it creates and operates all its tours, as well as providing the traveler, or the travel partner, with the ability to book instantly.
Travel Curious sells through complementary travel and hospitality companies who want to offer a premium experience to their guests, seamlessly integrating into their customer journeys through the company’s distribution toolset, which includes a full stack API, bookable widgets and an agent portal for offline providers.
Travel Curious latest partnership is with Hotelbeds, a distribution network of over 60,000 B2B agents and retailers, airlines and loyalty programs in 140 markets. Travel Curious private tours will be available to be booked in real-time across the entire platform.
Travel Curious has also recently signed a partnership agreement with Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest independent hotel brand represents more than 750 luxury hotels, resorts, and residences across 85 countries. The partnership will give travelers who book stays across Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ portfolio access to Travel Curious’ private tours and activities; enhancing the overall luxury travel experience and introducing guests to the authentic stories each destination has to offer.
Travel Curious’ local, cultural tours and activities are seamlessly integrated into the Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ online booking process, and the Travel Curious customer service agents will work directly with the guest from the point of booking to the day of the experience to customize the tour to match the traveler needs, and to ensure the experience is perfect in every way. Travel Curious matches the guest with the perfect guide, using their proprietary match and dispatch engine.
The guest and their party can then enjoy a private experience, as part of their stay at a Preferred member property, led by a Travel Curious handpicked tour guide or local insider who has unrivalled knowledge about, and passion for, the destination.
Other distribution partners include, CLC World and Resorts, and Marriott Bonvoy Tours and Experiences.
Travel Curious completed the TSI Traction Program a leading B2B travel technology acceleration and growth program and was featured at TSI Live this summer. Matt Zito, Managing Partner of TSI said, “Travel Curious is a very unique and fast-growing company. I’ve enjoyed working with the Travel Curious co-founders over the last 6-7 months. I am impressed with the verticalization they’ve built within the company from owning the guides, itinerary, product, booking technology and distribution technology. Their match and dispatch technology allow them to effectively create unlimited bookable inventory, which in the tours and activities business is the holy grail.”
