TNN Group Tours Abroad
Join curated group trips with travel-lovers like you!
TNN tours are for people who want to travel — not just vacation.
These itineraries, created by our founder Nomadic Matt and the TNN team, get you beyond the tourist traps. They use our deep local connections to introduce you to our friends and favorite guides, destinations, experiences, and restaurants so you get a sense of what it is really like to live in each destination.
You’ll get to do bucket-list-worthy activities, have meals in residents’ homes, and see hidden, out-of-the-way spots not normally found on other group tours. On these tours, we get you beyond the tourist traps.
Our tours are for those who want a deeper, more nuanced, and authentic travel experience, not be shuffled from place to place. If that sounds like you, check out our current offering of tours and join us for a TNN adventure of a lifetime.

Testimonials
“Love The Nomadic Network Tours because they are off the beaten path, tend to attract all ages of free spirited, fun, and adventurous people. Met a lot of solo travelers which was inspiring.”
“Taking a Nomadic Network tour is like having a friend show you around one of their favorite cities. You don’t feel like a tourist as you dig into the local culture.”
“I loved my experience on this trip, especially the food tour we did. The guides were really knowledgeable and I thought our tour leader was really great! I felt the schedule was really well placed. I also liked the flexibility of being able to join or not join any of the included activities too. Overall, I enjoyed the tour and made some new friends from it.”
“The Nomadic Network’s group tours provide the perfect balance of personalization and flexibility. The group tour itinerary lays the foundation for a trip in a way that captures the highlights you crave, yet allows you to stray if your heart desires.”
“I liked the tour because it was new experiences every day. It was also physically challenging for me. I had to listen to my body and good advice from my tour guide about the value of wearing my compression socks daily while my feet were swollen. I embraced the new and the unexpected, and enjoyed getting to know 11 new people! Awe inspiring places, warm and welcoming people, appreciation and flexibility.”
“As a solo traveler I’d never been interested in taking a group trip but when I saw The Nomadic Network was doing a tour in Oaxaca, I knew it would be different from the typical tour. Every activity was curated to really connect with locals, the culture, food, mezcal, and adventure. I felt like I was traveling with a bunch of friends and one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever been on!”
