Our Travel Style
Our tours are designed for people who want to travel, not just vacation!
The Nomadic Network is a community of passionate travelers dedicated to forging deep, meaningful connections with the world. Since our founding in 2019, our tours have reflected a love for learning, connecting with locals, and truly experiencing new places.
Inspired by this travel philosophy, the TNN Team curates our tours to show you how locals live and to immerse you in their culture. We want to take you beyond the tourist traps so you leave each place with a deeper understanding of it, not just photos.
Local Connections
We believe it’s important to not only see new places, but also meet new people! One of the most beautiful parts about travel is that it gives you a chance to experience a whole different way of life that can open up your worldview even wider. There are plenty of tours or all-inclusive resorts that can introduce you to cultural dances and handicrafts. But we want you to meet local people living their everyday lives. We want you to talk to local people, meet their families, and visit their homes, farms, and small businesses. We want you to dance, roast pigs, and sleep under the stars together. We want you to leave a place feeling like you did more than just pass through it, we want you to feel like you’ve dove deep into it.
Educational Experiences
We’re all lifelong learners so our itineraries are packed with immersive experiences, educating and fascinating each step of the way. Each of our tours is built with the help of an extensive network of local contacts in each destination. We work closely together with our local counterparts to design itineraries packed with rewarding activities that venture far enough away from the typical tourist crowds. On our tours, you’ll meet people and go to places that will help you peel back the layers of the country you’re in, giving you deep insight into that culture.
Small Groups
While many tour companies can accommodate up to 50 or 60 travelers, our tours run with 8-15 travelers plus a guide and driver. This way, you’ll be able to enjoy unique, rewarding activities, restaurants, and hotels that would not be accessible with more people. This also means that we support the mom-and-pop shops that really want our business. We’re able to better support local businesses, especially female-owned and minority-owned businesses. We believe that our tours can make a real difference in the lives of local people. This is why we avoid mass tourism, and big-bus itineraries, and instead focus on the people that make up the fabric of their local community.
Walking & Wandering
Lots of cities and countrysides reveal themselves to you as you twist and turn through their streets by foot. We always recommend taking a walking tour the moment you get to a new city to get your bearings, learn where things are, and have a direct connection to someone who knows the ins and outs of the city, the guide. We love a good walking tour and our tour itineraries reflect that so be sure to bring a pedometer and a good pair of shoes. When we’re not in cities, we try to include light hikes to get your heart-pumping and in natural surroundings.
Budget Conscious
At The Nomadic Network, we believe the best travel experiences come from truly connecting with local culture and people. Our tours reflect our core value of immersive, budget-friendly adventures that open doors to unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences. While our trips aren’t priced at $50 a day (we’d go broke), they emphasize authentic, enriching journeys rather than luxury. We’re budget-minded but appreciate the value of a good night’s sleep—so don’t worry, we definitely won’t be staying in hostels! If you love the idea of hiking Aztec pyramids and cooling off in hidden swimming holes, our tours are perfect for you.
Unique Itineraries
These are not cookie-cutter tours we’re offering here. Get ready to embark on exhilarating journeys to places that are often off the beaten path and full of surprises! Leveraging our local connections, we provide authentic experiences that truly immerse you in each location. In India, get a taste of local life by dining at a family’s home and savoring homemade dishes bursting with flavor. Explore Peru’s hidden archaeological gems with expert guides, delving into ancient Incan traditions along the way. Venture into Vietnam’s rural villages, where you’ll engage in traditional crafts and meet passionate local artisans eager to share their stories. In Greece, indulge in a culinary adventure through vibrant markets and authentic family-owned tavernas. These thrilling and intimate experiences are guaranteed to leave you with unforgettable memories.
Like-Minded Travelers
Certain tours will cater to different types of travelers, so you can meet other people who like to roam the same way you do. Our tours are great for beginners through seasoned travelers. They’re a phenomenal way to dip your toes into traveling and have a safety net to catch you when you stumble. It’ll quickly build your confidence to travel on your own. Our tours are also great for seasoned travelers and solo travelers if you want to push yourself out of your comfort zone, go to places you don’t feel comfortable going, especially ones that speak vastly different languages from your own. Or if you want to take it easy when it comes to planning each and every detail (which is especially great for busy people). Our trips are great for people who want to travel alongside like-minded people and not have to worry about finding people to meet and connect with on the road.
If you’re looking to go away with people who want adventure, culture, good food, and want to get off the beaten path, our group tours are for you. These aren’t the boring cookie-cutter trips of yore. They’re exciting adventures with new friends.
