With early Black Friday deals already in full swing, one travel guide company is offering hundreds of dollars off its guided tours that span destinations from Greece to Ireland.
EF Go Ahead Tours is currently offering up to $600 off select tours, including a 12-day Nile River cruise and more than a week in the Italian cities of Venice, Florence and Rome. The company, which offers nearly 200 guided trips across the globe, bills itself as a gateway to exclusive and immersive experiences thanks to expert guides and support.
“When you’re on tour, you won’t just learn about local life. You’ll live it,” the team writes on its website. “We’ll take you inside workshops, kitchens, homes, and other private spaces where locals bring their trades and time-honored traditions to life—and where you can, too.”
On the nine-day Italy trip, for example, guests are invited to step inside St. Mark’s Basilica, enjoy a glass-blowing demonstration, take a Rome cooking class, and more. The trip includes an optional two-day extension to the Sorrento Peninsula for stops at Pompeii and Capri.
“We are seeing record demand for guided group travel. Travelers are ready to take those long-awaited trips,” EF Go Ahead Tours President Heidi Durflinger said in a press release announcing the next month of sales. “The value, special access, ease and convenience as well as the focus we place on educational and immersive experiences is driving the demand we are noticing.”
The company’s current slate of deals ends Nov. 3, but additional sales will open up through Nov. 25 on a weekly basis. From Nov. 4-10, for example, trips will center on Spain, Italy and Greece. On Nov. 11, solo travelers can grab free private rooms on certain departure dates.
