    Who is this trip for?

    This trip is perfect for open-minded travel lovers looking to make genuine connections and partake in amazing experiences! Our goal is to organize a trip filled with positive and easy-going girls who are up for anything.

    Unlike many other group trips, we want our group sizes to feel comfortable and intimate. We don’t want you leaving the group trip not being able to remember everyone’s name! We want to create an environment where everyone is able to get to know each other and make friends for life.

    unique considerations

    • This is a festive trip, so trip activities and experiences will focus on the holidays. We will include a museum pass for you to explore any classic London sites on your own!
    • We will occasionally be using public transport to avoid London traffic.
    • The weather in London this time of year averages 46°F/8°C, so be sure to pack warm layers!

    • So thankful that one day I stumbled upon Scout Escapes on Instagram and took the risk to book a trip with complete strangers. Not only did I get to experience a new place but also got to form new friendships and bond with everyone on this trip. If you’re thinking of doing a trip, just go for it”

We take into account sleeping habits, travel preferences, tidiness, personality, hobbies and interests to choose your roommate. We also open our Instagram group chat if you prefer to find a roommate with someone you vibe with on your own. If you prefer to be solo, single rooms are an additional fee & subject to availability.

    Our group trips are bespoke itineraries, curated with luxury hotels and private experiences. We exclusively select 4 and 5-star hotels and prioritize private guided activities and luxury transportation with trusted travel partners in the industry to provide you with an exceptional trip that is worth the price tag. 

    Yes, you can absolutely do things on your own. We have scheduled free time in every destination and provide you with a list of suggestions for activities. You’re welcome to explore on your own or opt in with the group for an optional free time activity. 

    Absolutely! Our trips are open to first-time travelers and travel veterans alike. We craft our trips in detail and can assist you every step of the way. You’ll be given an abundance of information, including destination info, travel tips, packing list, and restaurant and free-time recommendations.

    With the ever-changing foreign exchange rate,  it’s easier for us to price our trips in Euros as this is how we pay our vendors. But don’t worry – we do the exchange rate for you when sending invoices so you will be charged in USD at a flat 1.10 exchange rate.
