What Our Guests are Saying

What Our Guests are Saying

On all three of our journeys, the Journey Managers in our opinion were very knowledgeable on the countries that we were visiting. They added another dimension to the journey by giving us a lot of explanation and background information that we would not have otherwise known. When we visited Yukon and Alaska our Journey Manager Roland told stories about his experiences and introduced us to personal friends from when he lived in the Yukon years before. It made for an authentic, special experience.

What Our Guests are Saying

When we pay for a Journey, there aren’t any unexpected expenses. For example, when we would usually not know how much to tip, we don’t even need to think about it because they are included. There is someone else there to take care of it. Even choosing and paying for the excursions can normally be quite an undertaking and with a Journey you have that all picked out for us. The phrase we were sort of caught by was “you don’t have to touch your wallet once”.

What Our Guests are Saying

I join you because of your door to door service. I’m at the stage in my life where I don’t want to drive to the airport and deal with leaving my car. Traveling with a large suitcase, I don’t even want to be taking the train. The fact that somebody came to my door, picked me up and whisked me away was a real benefit. Almost more important, when we got back from our journey you brought us home because by then we were very tired. It made the whole experience that much better.

Why Choose Journeys by Van Dyke?

We have been delighting our guests for 40 years by focusing on three ideals that have become the hallmark of our brand.

1.

Curated Itineraries

We curate immersive Journeys with you in mind. No matter which Journey you choose, you can be confident that it will be filled with exclusive and intimate experiences, carefully arranged to move at just the right pace.

2.

Private Excursions

We like to travel small. That means intimate groups, enjoying exceptional private excursions. When you and a few travel companions are discovering a new city, expect a unique experience tailored just for you. Go ahead and ask the local guide as many questions as you’d like

3.

Leisurely Pace

You deserve to take your time. We design our itineraries with a more leisurely pace in mind, providing more time on each excursion and in each city. This way, you can have a drink, get to know your fellow guests on a lazy sunset stroll, or even fall in love with your favourite street all over again.

Elevated Experiences

Elevated means we craft every aspect of your Journey to be a departure from the everyday. Our hotels, excursions and dining moments are hand-picked, ensuring your Journey is always a cut above.

Outstanding Accommodations

Outstanding Accommodations

We carefully select our hotels, many of which we have been returning to for years. All properties are centrally located, tastefully appointed and ready to serve you to our exacting standards. The hotel managers and their teams are committed to delivering our levels of excellence.

Modern Cruising

Modern Cruising

Cruising has evolved, and selecting the right ship matters more than ever. We are experts in evaluating our cruise operators’ service standards, food and entertainment quality, itinerary depth and cabin spaciousness. We only use ships that can deliver an outstanding onboard experience and that we can pair seamlessly with our high-quality private shore excursions.

Delectable Meals

Delectable Meals

Our meals strike a balance between original local tastes you won’t find at home and the familiar delicacies that put these destinations on the map. We select the right meals for each occasion (be it a Brazilian cookout, or a decadent Neapolitan lunch).

The Journey begins when you step outside your front door and our private car drives you to the airport in comfort. When you return, sink into the plush seats, relax and focus on your favourite memories on the ride back home.
