about usUrban Adventures was launched by Intrepid Travel and WHL Group in October 2009. Setting out to create a new style of travel experience that takes travellers away from touristic norms to areas where they can really connect with a destination on a local level.
Today we are 100% owned by The Intrepid Group and are truly a global company with teams in over 160 cities around the world. Our local guide count is pushing 1,500 and we have over 1,000 unique itineraries that take our travellers behind the scenes of a destination to reveal hidden gems and local hot-spots through the eyes of a local because, #localsknow. Our vision is to be the world’s leading day tour brand, and we are well on our way to achieving that. |
"Our" kind of people
We're passionate. We each believe that our city is the best in the world and we want you to see the true local culture. We also believe that Responsible Travel is the answer to many of the world's greater problems. We're enthusiastic. Our love for the work we do is infectious. Whether we're a guide talking about a new tour, or a sales representative talking about the benefits of Responsible Travel, we're proud of what we do. |
We're Responsible.
We make it our mission to keep tourism dollars in the local economy at every step of what we do. Our tours are created to benefit local communities from locally hired teams, to independent shops & restaurants but you'll find Urban Adventures' employees take these values home with them, shopping locally & taking care of their cities. We're fun. We promise the Best. Day. Ever. No matter where you travel with us. |
We're knowledgable. We know our stuff, from our guides to our Responsible Business Manager & we pride ourselves in being the go-to's for all things Responsible & local (because #localsknow). We believe in 'togetherness'. As a global network, we understand that collectively we are the best, and that we can rise up all together from small individual actions. |
