About Us

Since its inception in 1954, Esplanade has specialized in creating individual itineraries to all parts of the world and that tradition is continued today. We are still working with some of the same local agents and ground operators around the world as we did when Esplanade started, and have developed a very trusting relationship with the people who will actually be meeting your planes, taking you to your hotels or lodges and introducing you to your guides. We can get an answer for you from virtually anywhere in the world in a matter of hours.

If Esplanade has a mission statement it is to change people's lives in a positive and rewarding way through travel. Our staff travels often to all parts of the world and we are aware of the political climates, health suggestions, what to wear and what to read in advance. Whilst we don't want to tell you everything you will be seeing, we want you to be the best prepared for the adventure ahead. Esplanade Tours is mentioned in 1000 Places to See Before You Die, National Geographic Guide to India, Specialty Travel Index, and Fodor's Guides.

Use our sample "must-see" itineraries or get your planning started with the help of our suggested modules. If you prefer, don't hesitate to call or email us with your "wish-list" and ideas, time frame and budget requirements and we will get back to you with suggestions and a price quote. We offer the best airfares to the destinations in which we specialize, as well as visa services and comprehensive travel insurance.
