Private Journeys

For Those Who Prefer Independent Travel

A MIR private journey is the perfect choice for travelers who want the advantages of traveling alone - flexibility and privacy - but who also value the security and comfort of knowing that accommodations are waiting at the end of the day, and transportation to the next town or country is already arranged.

Handcrafted Itineraries

Our Private & Custom Tour Specialists will handcraft an itinerary that suits your personal travel goals and style, whether you’re planning an extensive adventure, tracing your family heritage, or celebrating an anniversary. Choose from any of our suggested itineraries as they stand (you can request a catalog here), begin with one of them as a starting point and modify from there, or design and create a signature adventure from the ground up.

You choose the level of accommodation (from rustic lodges to luxury hotels), the sites you want to visit on privately guided tours, and the dates of travel. The amount of guided touring and the pace are up to you, letting you enjoy the destination in your own unique way. We'll take care of all your in-country transportation needs, including meeting you on arrival and seeing you off at the end of your trip.
