Independence
Imaginative Traveller is an independent company, both in spirit and in practice. Our ethos and philosophy towards travel is built upon our passion and experience for exploration, and is never compromised by corporate goals or incentives. We still operate by the same values that we were founded upon back in 1991.
Experience
Imaginative Traveller was founded nearly 30 years ago, with one sole aim - to provide travellers with exceptional holiday experiences. Many years on, we’ve become part of the Dragoman family based in Suffolk and we’ve used our experience of designing, operating and selling group adventures to become a trusted and authentic brand in the adventure travel world.
Diversity of Knowledge
First-hand knowledge can be an overused phrase in the travel industry, but we genuinely think we have some of the most diverse and exciting travel experience and knowledge out there. Our HQ is run by people who live and breathe culture and travel, and our sales department are not the only ones who have seen the world! We use this specialist passion and expertise to curate and manifest a truly unique range of itineraries and tours whether you are looking to travel as part of a small group on a fixed departure or to have a holiday tailor made to your specific requirements.
The Personal Touch
Imaginative Traveller is just the right size - big and mature enough to have experience and efficiency, but small enough to remember who you are when you call again. Our friendly travel consultants will treat you as an individual, taking the time to listen to what your interests are, where you’ve travelled to and what’s on your bucket list.
Choice
As well as designing and operating our own tours, we offer hundreds of carefully selected trips from our trusted partners Intrepid, Exodus, Sundowners and Grand American Adventures. Whether you’re looking for a budget group trip to Thailand or a bespoke honeymoon in Botswana, we will use our consultative approach to find you a dream holiday.
Everyone’s Welcome
We believe that travel and the desire to explore should not be limited to any specific chapter of life - age is after all, just a number. We have an open age policy on all of the trips we sell, which means that, whether you’re 18 or 80, if you’re in good health then you’re welcome on our trips. We don’t deal in demographics, we deal with real people. If you wish to travel with children Imaginative Traveller also offer family adventures.
The Extras
We are experts in arranging every element of your holiday, including flights, airport transfers and insurance. Let us take the stress out of the boring bits so all you have to think about is getting excited about your upcoming adventure!
Security
For your peace of mind we are fully bonded and licensed with AITO.
