Small group tours shaped by the people who call these places home

Trips shaped by the people who call these places home

Folk is a chance to meet people: visiting them in their communities, supporting their projects and getting to know the places where they live.

Getting around can be easy. Meeting someone, not so much.
That's where everything we do begins.

HOW IT WORKS

How is a Folk trip organised?

Building authentic and meaningful relationships with people takes time. This is why every Folk journey is divided into two moments: the encounter and the exploration.

HOW IT WORKS

How is a Folk trip organised?

Building authentic and meaningful relationships with people takes time. This is why every Folk journey is divided into two moments: the encounter and the exploration.

✢ The first part of the journey

The encounter

At the beginning, you are hosted by a community. These are people who have chosen to welcome others, because they see value for their own projects in what travellers bring.
It is not a matter of passively "stopping over" in a place, but of lending a hand, playing, eating, and getting to know each other, all while respecting the pace and habits of the community.

❋ The second part of the journey

The exploration

Then the time comes to leave. The road opens up and the journey becomes an opportunity to discover places that now have a name and a history. Crossing landscapes, markets, and villages becomes a way to recognise that beauty and to continue cultivating connections with the locals.

Why choose a Folk trip?

Curated experiences

You will meet people we have come to know and with whom we have planned the travel experience. We believe in the importance of stepping off the beaten track: a choice that matters not only for those who travel but also for the country they visit.

Local Folks

In every country you are hosted by local people, a community that welcomes you and introduces you to their project. They are people willing to accompany you through the travel experience and share a piece of their life with you.

Concrete consequences

The choices we make have an impact, and so does the way we travel.
Folk experiences are designed so that this impact is positive not only for those who set off, but also for the host communities.

Frequently asked questions

The most frequently asked questions. For anything else, write to us.

Is the price I see the final one?

It depends, as there may be slight differences based on the number of people in the group and the time of year you are travelling. On the trip page, you will find a list of what is included and what is not. Fill in the form for the trip you are interested in, and we will get back to you with more precise information.

Are flights included?

No, you buy the flight yourself, departing from whichever airport is most convenient for you. We will give you details on times and the meeting point. Wait to buy it until the departure is confirmed. If you prefer, our partner agency can buy the flight for you.

How do I book a trip?

From the trip page, fill in the form with the departure date you are interested in. Once the trip is confirmed, you will receive instructions from our partner agency on how to pay the deposit. At that point, the trip will be confirmed.

How much of the trip is dedicated to the project?

It is not a full-time commitment: the project takes up part of the day, not all of it. The rest is for exploring, spending time with locals, and your own free time. The exact breakdown can be found in the itinerary for each trip.

What does co-designed with the community mean?

Before a trip even exists, we work with local partners to understand what is truly needed and what makes sense to do in a week with six people. The project is created by them, not by us, and you can find it described on the trip page.
