All you need to do is show up with some spending money, your suitcase, and a good attitude. Sounds pretty hard to beat, right?
In reality, guided tours can be tricky for travelers because they require lots of comparison and analysis. The sheer number of options doesn’t help—and neither does the fact that, unlike hotels and car rentals, there’s no single platform used to compare tours, prices, and itineraries.
At least, until the last few years. FlightHub, a discount OTA that lets you book discounted flights, hotels, and more, now has a guided tour section. It’s officially a partner of FlightHub called TourHub. (FlightHub does not own TourHub—they’re just partners that are dedicated to helping you plan great trips.)
TourHub lets you take a look at major tours that explore popular destinations, whether you want to uncover a new part of the United States or strike out to a faraway country like Japan.
If you’ve been dreaming of a hands-off guided tour that will do the heavy lifting for you, here’s how you can use FlightHub to compare and purchase your next big adventure.
How to compare tours with TourHub
Let me get this out of the way first: TourHub adventures don’t come with flights. That part of the reason the two companies work together—they want to make it easy for you to book your tour, then secure your flights at a discounted rate.
Keep in mind that when you visit the TourHub page, you’re not seeing the total price. The price includes all tour-related fees, from hotel rooms to meals to transportation. Flights are not included. So, if you’re worried about paying high airfare for your tour, I suggest starting in reverse by finding reasonable flights to a few destinations, then backtracking to see if TourHub has an offer for that area.
Another important note is that the tours you see aren’t heavily discounted. Some have small discounts, but others don’t. That’s okay—the idea behind TourHub is to make it easy for you to compare major, trusted guided tour companies in popular destinations to find the right fit. Otherwise, you need to manually go to different sites to compare options.
There are a few more cool features at play. First, you can get an exclusive promo code (it’s modest but worth it) if you provide your email or phone number, which isn’t shared with the tour provider unless you actually sign up. Second, you can ‘save your place’ on the tour for up to 72 hours while you finalize plans and decide if you want to make the purchase. Third, you can request a chat with a travel specialist, in case you have any pressing questions.
Lastly, each tour page has a clear list of sights and experiences, including highlights that show what you can expect. There’s also a tour review summary that pulls real reviews from Trustpilot, TripAdvisor, Feefo, and more to give you a realistic outlook of what’s in store. Toward the bottom of the page, you’ll see a similar summary that fleshes out the guided tour company’s mission and practices.
