We all know how it goes: the group chat starts blowing up with aspirations to organize a group trip. Dreamy destinations are name-dropped, people are excited, it’s been much too long since you’ve all traveled together, and friends trips are THE BEST.
If you’re like me (a Leo), I’ve already blocked the dates and started planning the trip before anyone else has even looked at their calendar.
Then comes the wave of reasons why it’s not ideal, someone has an obligation they can’t move, someone else’s partner is on the fence, the group isn’t aligned about what you’ll do or where you’ll stay, or how much you feel good about spending, and just like that, the dream crumbles as fast as it was created.
These are the biggest let-downs if you (like me) have that endless urge to travel, particularly if you’re just not ready to go it alone, or you actually really appreciate the company and a group situation is the celebratory and friendly vibe you are going for. I am right there with you.
So I started a business to solve for it.
Enter: Group Travel.
So here’s what you’ll get from a group trip with MBT:
You’ll Make Friends: Traveling with a small group of strangers fosters the perfect environment for forming new connections. Shared experiences, deep belly laughs, shared meals, and exploration create a bond that often turns strangers into friends. The diversity within the small group ensures a dynamic social atmosphere, enriching your journey with different perspectives and backgrounds. All of MBT’s trips are designed to remain pretty intimate (with a max of 10 travelers), so there’s no flag-waving, no tour buses, and definitely NO headsets.
You’ll Be Cared For: Throughout the entire trip, your well-being and enjoyment are our top priorities. At every step of the way, we're dedicated to crafting an experience that is not only seamless but also delightful. From carefully selected accommodations in charming hotels to curated local experiences, we aim to treat you to an unforgettable adventure. Not only do we have a local guide seamlessly translating and thinking two steps ahead, we also have a group photographer snapping your candid moments, so you can put your phone away.
All the Details Are Handled: Leave the stress of planning behind as we take care of every detail. Your trip is meticulously organized with cute hotels, local gems, and even reservations at that hot new restaurant you've been eager to try. With the T's crossed and I's dotted, you can focus on savoring the moments without worrying about logistics.
Exclusive Access to Experiences: One of the perks of traveling with us is gaining exclusive access to experiences you wouldn't easily secure on your own. Whether it's a private tour of a historical site, a special cultural event, or insider access to hidden gems, MBT opens doors to unique opportunities that enhance the experience ten-fold.
Unexpected Discoveries: In addition to the curated experiences, the journey with your newfound friends often leads to spontaneous and delightful discoveries. The shared sense of adventure within the group may take you off the beaten path, uncovering hidden treasures and creating memories that go beyond the planned itinerary. We also make a point of it to build in plenty of time for you solo travel lovers, so you can take the time to: adventure, rest, journal, shop, or whatever else you must do while abroad, so you may just have a personal discovery all on your own, and that would also be amazing!
