The vision behind World Discovery has always been simple yet ambitious: to bring together different travel experiences and make them accessible to everyone. Travel, after all, is not one-size-fits-all. From the very beginning, we wanted to create one place where people could find inspiration and enjoy their most memorable travel experiences.
That vision began to take shape in 2014, when we introduced our first small tours in Slovenia. What started as modest sightseeing experiences soon expanded into longer vacations across the country. From there, the journey continued naturally—first into neighboring countries, then further across Europe, and eventually around the globe.
With each step, we not only grew our destinations but also our portfolio of experiences—bringing new travel styles under one roof. From classic sightseeing, we moved into self-guided hiking and cycling adventures, then added cultural escapes, gourmet journeys, luxury holidays, ski trips, and cruises.
Today, the World Discovery Travel Network is a global family of more than 200 brands and around 1,000 travel experiences spanning five continents.
What has never changed is our purpose: to create travel that is inspiring, seamless, accessible, and unforgettable. From city tours to once-in-a-lifetime adventures, World Discovery has been shaping journeys for more than a decade—and continues to lead with innovation, resilience, and passion for discovery.

Our Core Departments
World Discovery operates through specialized departments, each focusing on its area of expertise—whether it’s crafting routes, advising travelers, or sharing stories that inspire.
This division of expertise ensures that every journey is designed, supported, and delivered to the highest standard.
Tour Directors
Our Tour Directors are the visionaries behind every journey. They lead product development, carefully researching destinations, scouting routes, and designing itineraries that balance highlights with hidden gems. For our travelers, this means trips that are seamless, enriching, and thoughtfully crafted to ensure they make the very best of their time.
Travel Advisors
Our Travel Advisors are with you every step of the way — from the very first inquiry to the moment you return home. They’ll get to know your travel style, recommend the trip that’s just right for you, and, for active adventures, make sure it fits your pace and comfort level. Once you’ve chosen, they stay in touch throughout your adventure to provide advice, answer questions, and ensure your experience is seamless and enjoyable.
Travel Operations Team
Our Travel Agents handle all the logistics behind the scenes. Once your tour is chosen, they take over to organize every detail—booking accommodations, arranging transfers, coordinating with local service providers, and managing all the elements that keep your journey seamless.
Tour Guides
On the guided tours, you’ll be accompanied by certified and licensed professionals—from city guides to mountain leaders—who know their regions inside out. They don’t just show you the sights; they share the stories, history, and hidden details that bring each place to life. With them, you’ll enjoy not only a deeper understanding of the destination, but also the comfort of on-ground support whenever you need it.
Marketing Team
Before your journey even begins, our marketing team ensures that the right tours reach you. They keep you inspired with ideas, stories, and updates about new experiences across our network. Thanks to them, you’ll always discover fresh opportunities to explore the world in ways that excite you.
