What Is a Surprise Trip and How Does It Work? A Guide to Your First Getaway

Can you imagine packing your bag without knowing whether you'll need flip-flops or a coat? That's a surprise trip: you bring the enthusiasm and we keep the destination a secret. More and more travellers choose it to break the routine, give an unusual gift, or feel the thrill of not knowing what comes next.

What is a surprise trip?

A surprise trip is an organised journey where you don't know the destination in advance. You tell us what you like, your budget and when you can travel, and the agency designs a tailor-made proposal. The destination stays secret until the agreed moment, which is the best part.

How does it work, step by step?

1. Tell us about yourself. Your tastes (beach, city, nature, culture), who you're travelling with and what kind of plan you fancy.


2. Set your budget and dates. So the trip fits your wallet and your calendar.


3. We choose the destination. We design the trip with you in mind, without revealing where you're going.


4. Pack your bag. You'll know what weather to expect, but not the exact place.


5. Discover your destination. And the adventure begins.

Why choose a surprise trip?

• You save hours of searching. No more 40 open tabs comparing destinations.


• You discover places you might never have considered.


• You enjoy the full excitement, from the moment you book until you arrive.


• It's an original gift, perfect for couples, friends or family.

Who is it perfect for?

Couples who want a different way to celebrate an anniversary, groups of friends who can never agree, anyone looking for a memorable birthday gift, and open-minded travellers who love to improvise.

Packing tips when you don't know the destination

• Layers: they work in almost any climate.


• Comfortable shoes for lots of walking.


• A swimsuit, just in case.


• Documents and travel insurance close at hand.


• An open mind, the most important item.
