The Value of Zephyr Adventures

We believe in providing good value on our tours. Before we ever run a tour we put in days of initial planning and weeks of on-the-ground research. During the tour we meet you at the airport, handle all lodging and most meals, and arrange all the activities. All this enhances your vacation, saves you time and, in many cases, saves you money.

We also don’t charge you an arm and a leg for your vacation because, frankly, we wouldn’t pay sky-high prices ourselves. In fact, look at this comparison of our tour prices versus some of our major (not to be named) competitors.

Tour Name	# of Days	Zephyr Price	Competitor Price
South Africa Vacation	9	$2,900	$6,998
Tuscany & Umbria Vacation	7	$2,400	$4,100
Peru Inca Trail Vacation	9	$2,700	$3,900
Chile & Argentina	8	$2,850	$4,700

How do we provide you with an equivalent tour at such a reduced price?

We limit our overhead. We have no office expenses (we all work virtually) and don’t own our own vans and bikes.
We limit our marketing budget. We spend most of our marketing time making sure our alumni are happy so they’ll return rather than putting together 80-page, full-color catalogs.
We stay local. We use excellent hotels in the middle of towns rather than luxury resorts that are frequently outside towns (and away from the fun). The difference in price between a four-star hotel used by the locals and a five-star hotel used by tourists is huge.
We eat local. We prefer the casual French bistro or the Italian trattoria over the famous restaurant overlooking the water that costs a fortune.

And if you are a solo traveler, we never require you to pay a single supplement unless you need your own room. We’ll find you a roommate or give you your own room for free.

So come travel with us, save your money, and have a great vacation!
