Travel is our business.
People are our passion.
Welcome to our world. We’re glad you’re here.
Since you’re here, we’re guessing we already know a thing or two about you: You’re curious, you have an appetite for adventure (good food, too!), you’re eager to see the world, and you’re always up for expanding your circle of friends. Did we nail it? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Why? Well, here’s where we tell you a little about us.
A family-owned company. A global community.
We’re an experiential group travel company, but we’re so much more than that, too. We’re also part of EF Education First, a family-owned, global community dedicated to opening the world through language, travel, cultural exchange, and academic programs. EF operates 600-plus schools and offices in more than 50 countries around the world, and is powered by an international team of 50,000 esteemed educators, savvy travel planners, top-of-their-field safety experts, dependable customer-support specialists, and so many other essential players.
For more than 55 years, we at Ready To Go Tourz have been fueled by constant curiosity and a natural desire to bridge cultures, communities, and people. We’ve been committed to making safe, authentic, life-changing travel experiences affordable and accessible. And we weave all of that into every tour we plan.
We don’t just plan travel. We live and breathe it.
Our team of in-the-know travel experts crafts immersive, experiential itineraries in 87 countries and on all seven continents. Whatever kind of tour you decide to join—a rail journey through the Canadian Rockies, wining and dining in Argentina and Uruguay, a solo-friendly escape to Sicily—we won’t just show you the highlights. We’ll take you behind the scenes, inside private spaces, and off the beaten path, too. And we’ll introduce you to creative, enterprising, and passionate locals where they live and work. The best part? We take care of every last logistical detail so that you can spend every second soaking it all in.
We think travel’s pretty magical. And, whether you’re traveling with a group, a few close friends, or solo, we can’t wait to share it with you.

Tips For Planning Tours & Travel With Us
Here at Ready To Go Tourz, we make it easy to plan a tour. All you have to do is decide which of our travel packages excites you most, and when you’d like to travel. (A springtime escape to Europe, anyone?) If you can’t decide, we’ll help you narrow down our vacation packages and find the perfect trip.
From there, we’ll take care of the rest. For travelers who book flights with us, our in-house team of travel experts will get to work finding flights with our trusted airline partners. And as you count down to tour, we’ll be busy booking clean, stylish, comfy hotels, planning meals at locally loved restaurants, and securing tickets to top museums, cultural sites, and, if it applies to your tour, special events.
Having our team of travel experts take care of every last logistical detail is one of 10 benefits of a guided tour versus independent travel.
When browsing our 175-plus vacation packages, here are a few things to keep in mind to help you find the just-right tours for travel to the places you’ve been dreaming of visiting.
- Your travel style. Are you into wildlife, adventure, or food and wine? Do you want to take a deep dive into a particular destination or religion? Want to experience a special event, or explore with a small group? We offer escorted tours designed around these travel styles and others so that travelers can have the experience that suits them best.
- Where you want to go. Whether you’ve long dreamed of exploring America’s national parks, Scotland’s pristine landscapes, or Thailand’s golden temples, you can do it on our guided tours. Some of our itineraries are designed to offer travelers a deeper dive into a single country. Others take travelers to multiple countries in a single trip (think Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, or Portugal, Spain, and Morocco).
- When you want to go. Sure, there’s nothing like Paris in the springtime. But maybe seeing the City of Light against a backdrop of fiery fall foliage is more what you have in mind. We’ll make that happen. We offer dozens of departures per tour, and in the case of some trips, we offer departures all year round. And, we make tours available for booking up to two years in advance. Having more time to pay, and more departure dates to choose from, are among the eight benefits of booking a trip years in advance.
- Special or seasonal events. Have you always wanted to see cherry blossoms blooming in Japan? Or sip hot, mulled wine while wandering around a European Christmas market? Perhaps witnessing the Great Migration is at the top of your travel wish list. Events like these, and others, only happen during certain times of year, so be sure to check out tour packages for travel that occur at the same time.
- Duration. Our tours range from six days to 22 days. Want to enjoy a quick break? Consider our shorter tours, which we offer in destinations such as Iceland, Spain, and Amsterdam. Have more time to spare? A 10-day trip to Scandinavia, or a 22-day tour of Australia and New Zealand, could be just the ticket.
- Who you want to travel with. Many of our group trips are designed for groups of 15 to 38 travelers. (Think: more opportunities to make new friends.) If you prefer a more intimate experience, consider one of our Small Group Tours, which are designed for groups of 10 to 22 travelers. Want to explore solely with your friends or family? We happily craft Private Tours and Customized Tours for groups of seven travelers or more.
Our trips are bookable directly through our website. (Putting $99 down with AutoPay, our interest-free payment plan, is all it takes to secure your spot on tour.)
We offer more than 175 tour packages. They include:
- Guided group tours. These trips are designed for groups of 15 to 38 travelers and include Multi-Country Tours, single-country tours, and City Stay Tours, which give travelers an opportunity to explore a particular city in depth.
- Small Group Tours. A more intimate tour experience with a group size of just 10 to 22 travelers. Small group travel styles include Food & Wine Tours, Adventure Tours, and Safari & Wildlife Tours.
- Special Event Tours. Typically capped at 35 or 38 travelers, these trips are designed to capture the magic of special and/or seasonal events, such as Oktoberfest, Oberammergau, New Year’s Eve, St. Patrick’s Day, Sakura (cherry blossom) season, fall foliage, Christmas markets of Europe, Halloween, and more. Find the perfect tour for you by browsing our Special Event tours.
- Private and Customized Tours. Have a particular interest you want to explore? We happily plan Private and Customized Tours for groups of seven or more travelers.

- Free time to explore local restaurants, historical sites—anything that piques your interest—at your own pace
