Every journey with Epic is tailored to your specific needs and starts with the same question from us. What is your travel style?
Do you prefer independent travel designed for you at your own pace or a privately guided journey with every detail taken care of? Does the independence of meeting new hosts and guides in each location appeal? Or would you rather enjoy the ultimate luxury of having a private guide with you throughout your holiday? Perhaps you’d like to join a small guided group and have every detail taken care of from the outset.
Whatever style suits you best, Epic can meet your individual requirements.
Independent
Our independent journeys are designed for you to travel at your own pace on the dates you choose – individually, with family, or with friends. With Epic’s tailored journeys, you can see the world in the style you want to see it. All independent journeys include the services of local guides. Meticulously planned and seamlessly operated, your adventure includes all transfers, accommodation and private touring.
For independent travellers, Epic offers an ‘On Call’ service while you’re in your destination. We manage your itinerary on the ground and check in if you so desire during your trip, maintaining a respectful distance. Think of us as a friend on the ground— your own travel concierge.
This travel style is often taken up by singles, couples, family groups and even multi-generational travellers.
Privately Guided
For those seeking the ultimate in exclusive service, knowledge and continuity, our private guides can accompany you for the duration of your trip. Having a professional expert on hand from arrival to departure, each step of the way, ensures you make the most of every moment. Your guide also takes care of your daily travel plans allowing you to step back, relax and drink it all in.
Epic draws from an extraordinary and exclusive group of cultural specialists, professional photographers, wildlife behaviour experts and seasoned expedition leaders. With a vast knowledge base that embraces all continents, our private guides are an exceptional bunch, all highly regarded within the travel industry.
This travel style is perfect for friends and family groups, both large and small.
Small Group
From time to time we offer small group journeys geared to the more far flung destinations. These are ad hoc and adventurous programmes and because of this, they are often guided journeys with an Epic guide on hand to shepherd you throughout.
By way of example of trips we have run in the past: a snow leopard expedition to India, a trek to Everest Base Camp or a journey to Ethiopia or Madagascar. Group size is normally in the realm of 8-12 passengers but this varies depending on the offering.
It is important to note that any of our small group journeys can be tailored to suit a private group of friends or family.
