The Top 15 Tour Operators in 2021

Scott Bay is a magazine editor specializing in travel, architecture, and gear. He was previously an assistant editor at Travel + Leisure . His work has also appeared in Wired , Architectural Digest , Wallpaper , Robb Report , Saveur , Daily Beast , and more.

Note: If you’re looking for our most recent recommendations, check out the 2023 list of our favorite tour operators .

This year's World's Best Awards survey was open for voting January 11 through May 10, 2021, as destinations around the world were lifting COVID-19 restrictions. Survey rules have always allowed readers to reflect on their travel experiences over a three-year period. We hope that this year's honorees will inspire your own travels as you get back out into the world.

Linking up with the right tour operator can take an amazing trip and turn it into a trip of a lifetime . This might seem like magic, but their in-the-know expertise and long-standing relationships open the doors for the seemingly impossible — a private Jeep safari with a professional tracking team in the depths of Torres del Paine or one-on-one cooking classes from a chef that runs a Michelin-starred restaurant in the south of France. And if any group has traversed the world enough to discern the best tour operators out there, it's the readers of Travel + Leisure .

Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as city or resort based on their locations and amenities.

The companies that made the list have the skills and connections to create itineraries that reflect their clients' personal interests. No. 3 VBT Bicycling Vacations curates two-wheeled trips all over the globe . One reader said, "Their staff make all the difference." No. 2 Mountain Lodges of Peru puts together highly personalized trekking adventures to Machu Picchu. As another reader exclaimed, "This is the way to visit Machu Picchu!"

But at the top of the list is Quasar Expeditions. Though primarily known for its cruises (the company won the small-ship ocean cruises category this year), it also operates a roster of dynamic safari-style excursions in South America. Read on to find out what sets it apart and which other companies join it on this year's list of the best tour operators in the world.

1. Quasar Expeditions

Quasar Expeditions is for adventurers. The highly specialized itineraries are designed to make guests feel like they're James Cook or Charles Darwin. "Quasar Expeditions' guides are the ultimate, passionate gatekeepers to the Galápagos Islands," one reader said. "Their enthusiasm and love of the islands and the wildlife encourages you to share in their passion and desire to conserve the natural beauty and habitat of the area while still allowing low-impact tourism." Another raved, "Excellent isn't a high enough rating to describe our experience with Quasar Expeditions. Extraordinary in every way!" And while Quasar is best known for its Galápagos trips, it gets high marks for its Patagonia itineraries, which takes guests into the best parts of Chile's Torres del Paine and Argentina's Los Glaciares — two of South America's most spectacular national parks.

Travel specialists have never been more essential than they are right now, with their invaluable ability to pivot, re-book and offer advice. We picked 10 standouts in the luxury field from across the world, a directory of those who embody that above-and-beyond spirit essential in the past year.

Christoper Sitwell, Cazenove + Loyd

Wilmot-Sitwell has been working in travel for more than three decades. The co-owner of a 16-person London-based agency specializes in long-haul luxury, often to far-flung sites in rural Africa and Asia. The team there spent much of 2020 canceling or postponing trips—most recently, unpicking rescheduled itineraries to the Tokyo Olympics when a ban on foreign spectators was announced.

The firm anticipated today’s conscious-travel concerns from the outset, always focusing on owner-run and locally staffed independent operations, such as preservation outfit Campfire in Zimbabwe. Cazenove + Loyd also offsets the entire carbon cost of its research recces via a partnership with CommuniTree , a 12-square-mile tropical reforestation project in Nicaragua. Clients can easily opt into this, too; anyone whose itinerary swoops through the country can visit the project and personally plant the trees.

Tanya Dalton, Managing Director UK, Greaves

Dalton leads the UK office of this India specialist outfitter, which was founded by her Mumbai-born grandfather in 1978 and later run by her mother. With generations’ worth of in-depth experience and exclusive connections at her fingertips, she arranges custom trips as luxe as they are immersive. Depending on their interests, travelers may find themselves granted entrée to private palaces, sacred religious sites and landmarked government buildings; meeting with celebrated curators, authors, artisans, jewelers, chefs or astrologers; or exploring desert wilds while staying at plush mobile camps.

Dalton’s team—45 in Delhi and Mumbai, and 15 in the UK—helped extract some 40 clients from India at the start of the pandemic, as borders closed. Now she’s helping guests plan their return. On her radar currently are safaris to spot India’s rising tiger population, top-end hotel openings in Rajasthan and a new single-suite wooden boat that’s perfect for privately cruising the Ganges, Bhagirathi and Hooghly Rivers.

Jules Maury, Scott Dunn Private

Maury runs this offshoot of the UK-based travel firm, focused entirely on bespoke itineraries. Much of her work during the pandemic involved extended stays for home-schooling families who were looking to live and work in a new locale, whether spending two and a half months at Gili Lankanfushi in the Maldives or a month in residence at Antigua’s Jumby Bay. Another guest commandeered the five-room Sheldon Chalet in Denali National Park, an ultra-secluded property accessible only by a 45-minute helicopter ride.

The SDP team follows multiple pro-social protocols when it travels and encourages clients to follow suit, including the Pack for a Purpose program, in which visitors pack requested supplies in their luggage for distribution at the destination. It’s laser-focused on ethical practices, too. Animal welfare is a priority, so providers that offer bullfighting or elephant riding are not used, and there’s a pledge that 90 percent of all operators will not provide single-use plastics to guests by the end of 2023.

Deborah Calmeyer, Roar Africa

The Zimbabwe-born Calmeyer has carved out a discrete niche as the ultimate elite safari planner, with the ability to pull off near-impossible requests, even during the pandemic. Rwanda’s government requires a negative PCR Covid-19 test for visitors, but offers only the throat-swab version at Kigali airport—a problem for one Roar Africa client, desperate to go gorilla-trekking but phobic about anything touching his throat. Calmeyer set up a protocol change, arranging for a nose swab to be administered instead.

She has offices in Nairobi, Johannesburg and Cape Town, with the HQ in New York, and Roar Africa continued to pay drivers, freelance guides and its staff even during lockdown, as governmental support in situ was scant. Roar Africa supports several social programs, including an all-women anti-poaching academy in Kenya, which has so far graduated almost 30 fully trained rangers, and underwrites a scholarship at a college of tourism in South Africa that trains women to work at local hotels and lodges.

Catherine Heald, Remote Lands

Remote Lands’ expertise centers entirely on planning ultra-luxury trips for Americans to Asia, with offices in New York and Bangkok, plus country managers in every locale.

Heald and business partner Jay Tindall try to ensure a positive impression both for their guests and by them, encouraging clients, for example, to fund the digging of a water well for a local family whenever Siem Reap in Cambodia forms part of the itinerary. Conscious of the higher carbon footprint of itineraries that span the continent, the pair deliberately minimize the number of flights, private or commercial.

Last year, a Texas couple who were planning to go solo to Asia to celebrate both his 70th birthday and their 40th wedding anniversary had to postpone, and instead Heald helped them turn their three-week, four-country trip into a reunion with their grandchildren, whom they plan to take along this November.

Beks Ndlovu, Founder of African Bush Camps

Ndlovu has maintained momentum, despite the safari industry’s devastating year. The operator and hotelier kept his entire 600-person staff employed while also unveiling Khwai Leadwood, a new high-design lodge in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. It’s the latest in his eco-conscious properties; he has rolled out 16 of them in 15 years across three countries, a remarkable achievement. Each has a light footprint, via solar farms and water recycling, while also offering direct support to surrounding communities via the company’s ABC Foundation.

Even amid the logistical and medical constraints of the past year, Ndlovu seamlessly pulled off a recent journey for 14 people to Zimbabwe via private plane. “There was a lot of juggling, but it was well worth it,” says Ndlovu, who advocates for guests to spend their tourism dollars with brands that preserve wilderness areas and empower minorities and locals. “We continue to make the effort in identifying key talent that we can support and help rise to the surface.”

Cedric Reversade, Unique Properties & Events

Luxury travel was already tilting toward villa rentals before the pandemic made the idea of privacy, and self-containment, even more appealing. The London- and Paris-based Reversade and business partner Koskas offer discreet access to the world’s best rental homes in hot spots like Saint-Tropez, Ibiza and Capri while also acting as a travel concierge.

Take the California client who had bought a piano nobile on the Grand Canal in Venice, just before the first lockdown—and for whom they managed to secure a visa even when borders were shut. They also arranged excursions in the city, like a day on Burano with the glassblowers and a night visit to San Marco. Or the polo-loving English client who ditched her Chelsea townhouse for a seafront estate in Ibiza they’d wrangled on her behalf as lockdowns loomed; she then took trips around Spain, including lunching with a retired rejoneador from whom she bought two horses to ride at her country estate.

Cari Gray, Gray & Co.

Based in Santa Monica, Calif., Canadian expat Gray runs a lean team of about 10 with a particular expertise in active luxury. Take the trip to Argentina and Uruguay which shuttled her guests between cycling spots by private jet. It was due to start just as Argentina shuttered its borders last March, so Gray’s team pivoted, re-booking the group on a similar itinerary in California within 24 hours.

She’s determined that the lavish sums spent by clients truly uplift every destination, especially in developing areas. One pair of travelers sponsored GPS collars on a research project for rescued elephants at a local animal reserve in Namibia and witnessed the process firsthand. And an always recommended pit stop in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco is one of the late Eve Branson’s projects, which employs local women making crafts. It isn’t all do-gooding, though: Gray is renowned for arranging Michelin-caliber chefs to cater alfresco at the end of a day’s hiking.

James Jayasundera, Ampersand Travel

Sri Lanka is one of the rare destinations in Asia that have managed to create a program that allows visitors to experience the country during the pandemic, and no one is a better expert to help navigate an itinerary in that new normal than Rome-raised Jayasundera and his five-person, almost two-decade-old firm. Visitors can stay in designated hotels, he explains, and even go sightseeing, as long as they remain in “bio bubbles” to protect the local populace from imported infection.

Jayasundera started early, noting the preferences of each of his 12-strong family as they traveled constantly in his childhood, and has made such attention to detail a hallmark of his commercial operation. Inclusivity is a longtime passion, with a strong presence in the LGBTQ community among both staff and clients, and efforts to use female guides where possible to offset challenges around equality.

Mark Duguid, Carrier

The 60-person, Manchester-based Carrier plans less than 5,000 trips per year, allowing it to retain a reputation for flexibility. It’s willing to change itineraries within hours of departure and never charging amending fees. Duguid and his team were well placed, then, for the challenges of last year: See the couple from the UK who seized the chance to travel when permitted during a break in lockdowns, heading impromptu to the Maldives as an add-on to a last-minute visit to Dubai. Carrier recognized the appeal of the outdoors for travelers in the last year, too, and created an exclusive trip to Octola in Finland’s Arctic Circle, a five-star private wilderness reserve where local guides hosted open-fire lunches and ran excursions on husky sleds and snowmobiles.

Duguid reports a surge in so-called revenge spending, noting that the average booking value for 2021 has risen 90 percent year over year, with clients indulging in once-in-a-lifetime trips after lockdown restrictions loosen.

But when it came to all-round endeavour, Scott Dunn and The Turquoise Holiday Company were leaders of the pack. Both report a surge of interest in Asia, as well as multi-generational travel, solo adventures to Namibia, Bhutan and Mexico, and authentic experiences such as outback stations in Australia and bear lodges in Canada.

Mighty 5 From Salt Lake City

I would like to add that the communication between tour radar and us was poor. No notice of change of first night hotel was passed on to us and the start n finish dates are not discussed AT all. It is really a 6 day tour not 8 day tour as advertised. Other than that Southwest Tours were fantastic it was tour radar that let us down.

Majestic Alaska (10 Days)

This was the best tour I’ve EVER been on. From the people to the places, it was a wonderful adventure. Trafalgar’s Alaska staff may have ruined me for all other tour companies.

• €100 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

• In-depth Cultural
• Coach / Bus

Northern California (8 Days)

It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Very enjoyable and fun.

Spectacular Alaska!

Enjoyed the tour but was very disappointed at the lack of excursions offer during our free time. Globus prides itself on a variety of excursions so there are many choices for all types of personalities. This is my first tour ever that the excursions were so limited! I had to go online to book my on excursions during my free time. I booked a Northern lights tour and a trolley tour which I do not understand why Globus could not offer them and more, if so, I would not have had to spend my free time online searching for things to do. Brady was an excellent tour director always insuring we were taken care of and there to assist with any issues or concerns we may have had. Our bus driver Rose was a breath of fresh air! I have never had a tour bus driver who was that personal, knowledgeable, involved, and as full of life as Rose! She truly needs to become a tour director! Overall, the only reason I give the tour an 9 over a 10 scale is due to the lack of free time excursions. Thank you Brady and Rose for a great Alaskan experience! Respectfully and sincerely, Rhonda and Robin “Elton” Parker

American Parks Trail (Classic, End Denver, 9 Days)

The Tour Director and driver were first class, keeping us both very amused, and very safe. Some of the downsides were due to the weather, at times, which nothing could be done about, so we got on with it. Some of the main downs were due to my naivety, in thinking some facilities (like cash paying taxis from SLC airport; I persuaded a friendly Uber driver to accept cash!) were what I was used to, and that I wouldn't have to re-enter security when changing planes from LHR to SLC, at PHX, even though I was on a connecting, booked, flight, and my baggage had already been labelled for both airports appropriately, at LHR. Altogether, a very good, and memorable holiday, where I visited some parts of the Parks that I visited before, but saw many more, and different sights in them.

Nature's Best: Alaska

Our Tour guide, Wayne, was fantastic! He went above and beyond; to make sure we were comfortable on the bus and on the tours! He also got us as close as he could when there were animal sightings! Lane, our driver, was also an excellent driver; and he kept us safe on the narrow and winding Mountain roads! Hats off to these two!

Enchanting Canyonlands (Classic, 7 Days)

I wanted to say excellent, but there is room for improvement. The website could be better. It required passport information with no option for "Not applicable." As a U.S. Citizen traveling in the U.S., a passport wasn't needed, but I continued to get reminders to complete my profile. Fortunately, I got an email assuring me I didn't need the passport, but I suggest updating your website. The descriptions of several days said "relaxed start," but most days, we had to be up early enough to be showered, dressed, and have our suitcases ready for pickup by 6:30 or 7:00 a.m. As an east-coaster, that was fine for me because of the time difference, but normally, I wouldn't call that relaxed. The sites were stunning, the optional activities were great, although one that I wanted to do got canceled due to a storm and there was no way to reschedule. The lodging was great at each stop and the provided meals were excellent. Some of the suggested "on-your-own" spot for meals were not so good. The change of lodging plans at the Grand Canyon was disappointing because we didn't get to see the sunrise at the Grand Canyon or the stars late the night before. Sedona, The Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Park were all fantastic, and we were blessed with great weather for most of the trip. Everyone should see these wonders of God's creation.

• Mountain Hikes

8 Day Grand Teton & Yellowstone Explorer

Tour guide did a great job. Had an excellent week. Will consider future trips through TourRadar and Southwest tours.

Alaska Journey National Geographic Journeys

Good time with lots of riding in the van going to interesting places

Discover American Canyonlands National Geographic Journeys

Matthew (CEO) was great. As issues/challenges arose (which they inevitably do) Matthew addressed them, and provided options/alternatives, which he presented to the group and the group came to a consensus. A suggestion for Management/Tour Operator, The "meeting" with a Native American who was to talk about his/her Native American culture, should be given "guardrails" and stay within their "Lane". There are those who do not share the presenter's same political viewpoint as the presenter and the presenter should respect that his/her audience may have differing political viewpoint(s) and stay away from brining politics into their presentation. Again Matthew (CEO) was a great ambassador for the Tour Operator and we would definitely take another tour/trip with Matthew!

National Parks Family Journey: Yellowstone and Grand Teton

Spectacular Canyons and National Parks (End Denver, 13 Days, Denver Airport And Post Trip Hotel Transfer) (19 destinations)

It was an enjoyable good for thw value tour. The first night accomodation in Circus Circus was very poor. Other accomations were fair to good. The transportation was good. A little more information about geography and history would be helpful and add to the total experience. All breakfasts and some dinners need to be included to make it hassel free.

What people love about luxury tours in usa.

Guide was knowledgeable and helpful. It was a good group

It was an awesome tour. Saw and did so much. I would recommend Trafalgar to tour with. We are booked next year for The Colorful Trails of the SW in September. I want to say our tour director,Tyler Browning, is one of the best guides we have had. He is personable, friendly, caring, very knowledgeable and on top of everything. He is GREAT!

It was great. Tough schedule but I liked it.

How demand for ultra-luxury travel shows no sign of stopping.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

The world of luxury travel has never been so buoyant. Recent launches by innovative and renowned brands are catering for a new group of ultra-luxury travellers who don’t need to look at the bill and who are demanding an increasingly exceptional way to see the world.

“Luxury hospitality is in the middle of a boom,” reports Skift , a leading travel industry intelligence platform. “What is becoming very apparent is a new group of ultra-luxury players who are pushing the industry to previously unseen limits, while catering to a mobile class of one percenters that don’t tend to look at the bill,” the platform reports.

The latest uber-luxe travel offerings take you to new heights.

Recent launches, proving this point, include a boom in private jet tours, such as those offered by Titan Travel . Its next 22-night trip for 2024—Captivating Cultures from Rome to Rajasthan—includes stops in Istanbul, Montenegro, Jordan and Uzbekistan all by private plane, with 28 guided excursions included, and priced from £29,995 per person.

Then there is the demand for ever-increasing luxury offerings on commercial airlines, which has seen Etihad launch its The Residence—a three-bedroom apartment in the sky, and Singapore Airlines’ Suites class—offering a further step up from First class, not to mention uber-luxury offerings in the world of hotels, such as Atlantis the Royal Dubai’s The Royal Mansion Suite, which costs a whopping $100,000 per night.

What’s more, as reported by Skift , luxury travel is only set to boom further this year: “With Virtuoso saying more than half of its network, of more than 20,000 luxury travel advisers, estimate their clients will spend more on trips this year. The continued strength is remarkable, given how bullish sales were in 2023. Kensington Tours , a luxury travel agency, said luxury trip values rose 9% last year.”

Wheely's New First service.

When it comes to actually getting to the airport, however, there’s nothing quite like a concierge and chauffeur service to elevate the journey. British luxury brand, Wheely ’s membership model, is one of the latest services and comes with an intuitive app (with real live people on hand to help), and services such as specialised airport drops and pick-ups, on-demand and pre-scheduled chauffeuring and a concierge service. Headquartered in London, and operating in other major cities, such as Paris, and having just launched in Dubai, Wheely exists, says the company, “to help clients reclaim their time by connecting them to the places and people that matter.”

Laura Allen, Wheely’s director of Customer Experience, comments: “Unlike other luxury ride-hailing companies, Wheely operates in a different market—it is the first on-demand luxury chauffeur service of its kind. It’s more akin to having a private chauffeur. Our aim is that as the company grows, we want to see more international affluent people switching from employing personal drivers to using Wheely. Users will find a combination of a highly-trained chauffeur with an exceptional in-car experience and a concierge service, with everything instantly available or pre-booked via the Wheely app.”

The concierge service is one way the brand has stretched its car service to cater for a luxury lifestyle, whether at home or when you reach your destination, so users can have help with London-based day-to-day errands, or use the Chauffeur for a Day service (perfect for out-of-town day trips), as well as order its luxurious New First Class Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223 car service.

Wheely's wheels offers a slick service.

“Wheely chauffeurs go beyond simply transporting passengers from A to B, they deliver an experience,” says Laura. “They can take on highly personal tasks for their guests—whether that’s transporting them to and from the office, picking up their relatives from the airport, safely taking their children to school, or running errands on their behalf. Wheely’s Perfect Airport Pickup, on the other hand, is an elevated airport car service where passengers don't have to worry about delays or terminal changes, as Wheely monitors the passenger’s flight, using automatic flight tracking technology.”

“With the new First Class product, members are able to arrive at their destination ready and re-energised after the journey. Fuelled by the Mercedes S-Class W223, members can enjoy additional legroom, a long wheelbase, a sunroof, reclining seats, and privacy blinds. Unlike Wheely’s other tiers, New First Class offers unique amenities like FIJI water, refreshing towels, and even an in-car Acqua Di Parma scent.”

The airport service means travel is seamless.

Above all, much thought, says Laura, has gone into making sure every aspect of the Wheely model offers a flexible and elevated experience. “The Chaffeur for the Day service, for instance, is available both on demand and for any pre-scheduled time, bookable through the app,” she says. “Clients can stay in constant contact with their chauffeur via the app, from monitoring their chauffeur’s arrival in real-time, tracking their chauffeur running an errand, to adding or changing destinations as they wish. These small hidden details enable Wheely clients who are frequent travellers to save time when travelling.”

Drivers are also trained at an in-house Chauffeur Academy, designed by former hoteliers (to ensure a five-star service) and found at the Grade II listed Monastery Barn in Syon Park, where they are trained in driving skills, advanced navigation, first aid and etiquette.

The company has recently launched in Dubai, a city that, last year, recorded its highest ever annual tourist numbers , at 17.15 million overnight visitors arriving in 2023. The company will offer the same Wheely service there as in other cities, with the addition of offering the latest BMW 5-series vehicles alongside the existing fleet of Mercedes-Benz.

It’s an astute move by Wheely, given that Dubai is a city that never stands still with a forward-looking focus on its dynamic developments. Future mega projects in the city include Dubai Reefs , the biggest ocean restoration project in the world that promises to employ 30,000 people and is set to open in 2028. Then there is the Island by Wasl , a 28-acre, man-made island off the coast of Dubai, which aims to be the closest thing to Las Vegas in the Middle East, and which is due to start construction soon. Also opening this year in Dubai is the Six Senses The Palm, Dubai which with 61 hotel rooms and 162 branded residences, is putting the focus on authenticity, service and seclusion—the same principles that Wheely says it puts value on.

Commenting on the announcement and the brand’s foray into the UAE market, chief executive officer of Six Senses, Neil Jacobs, said: “Six Senses The Palm, Dubai marks a new milestone for the brand as it enters this remarkable destination. From the bottom of the ocean to the signature rooftop bar, our concept celebrates the natural beauty of the Gulf, the solidarity and hospitality between host and visitors, and the journey that Dubai has been on, with its unique Emirati traditions and bubbling optimism for the future.”

Laura Allen, at Wheely, agrees: “The future of travel feels exciting. There is so much happening right now. The very best travel experiences give you a pause button and our service is a part of that process. In short, we help clients reclaim their time as we believe that, essentially, time is the most precious asset in life.”
