Every Compass Travel journey begins with careful planning and a commitment to quality. We select each itinerary for its exceptional quality, thoughtful design, and overall guest experience —offering only journeys that reflect the standards and level of service that define Compass Travel.
We partner with respected international tour operators who have spent years refining exceptional itineraries and building meaningful relationships within the destinations they serve. Their expert local guides provide authentic insight into the history, culture, traditions, and hidden gems that make every destination truly memorable.
Our collection includes a variety of journeys designed to suit different travel styles, interests, schedules, and group sizes. From scenic river cruises and immersive sightseeing tours to smaller, more intimate groups and larger escorted journeys, you’ll find carefully curated travel experiences designed to inspire, enrich, and create lasting memories.
We look forward to introducing additional destinations and thoughtfully curated experiences that inspire our guests to continue exploring the world with Compass.
Every Compass Travel journey is personally hosted by an experienced Compass Travel Host who travels alongside you from beginning to end. While expert local guides introduce you to the history, culture, and traditions of each destination, your Travel Host is there to provide personalized support, assist with logistics, answer questions, and help ensure every step of your journey is seamless and enjoyable.
It’s the perfect combination of authentic local expertise and the confidence of traveling with an experienced host who is with you every step of the way.
There’s something special about exploring the world with people who share your curiosity and love of travel. Some of the best moments happen between destinations—over dinner, during a scenic drive, or while discovering a place together. Many of our guests begin their journey as strangers and return home with new friendships—and often, future travel companions.
One of the greatest benefits of group travel is that you can experience it your own way. Whether you enjoy getting to know fellow travelers or simply appreciate the comfort and convenience of traveling with an organized group and Travel host, you’ll always feel welcome. There’s never any pressure to socialize beyond your comfort level—you can participate as much or as little as you like.
Because every traveler is different, our journeys range from smaller, more intimate groups to larger escorted experiences. Whichever you choose, you’ll enjoy thoughtfully curated itineraries, seamless travel, and the confidence of traveling with experienced Travel Hosts.
Planning travel for your organization, business, or private group? Compass Travel designs and hosts customized international journeys for groups of 21 or more.
Whether you’re organizing a corporate retreat, professional association, community organization, alumni group, family reunion, or special-interest tour, we’ll create an itinerary tailored to your group’s interests, schedule, and travel goals.
With years of experience planning and leading custom group travel, our experienced Travel Hosts, trusted travel partners, and expert local guides work together to create seamless, memorable travel experiences from beginning to end.
Whether you already have a destination in mind or are looking for inspiration, we’d love to help you create a journey that’s uniquely your own.
Compass Travel is proudly based in Rapid City, South Dakota, but our hosted journeys welcome travelers from across the country. Guests from the Rapid City area have the option to travel with us from home, while those joining from elsewhere simply meet the group at the tour’s designated gateway city or starting destination. Wherever your journey begins, you’ll receive the same warm welcome, personalized hosting, and exceptional Compass Travel experience from the moment we come together.

Centuries of history sprinkled across timeless landscapes? That's just part of Scotland and Ireland's allure. And from the rolling expanse of the Scottish Highlands to the wild, wave-lashed Irish coast, this comprehensive tour will show you just how easily these two countries sweep visitors off their feet. Breathe in sea breezes and grassy, fresh air as you zigzag from elegant Edinburgh to the Cliffs of Moher, even popping into Northern Ireland for a spell. (If you're interested in one more delightful detour, tack a pre-tour visit to London onto your itinerary for some cosmopolitan flavor.)

Sip sangria in a sunny Seville plaza, wander Lisbon’s tiled alleyways, and marvel at Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia. Stroll medieval streets, snack on croquetas and custard tarts, and hear flamenco and fado echo through the night. The Iberian Peninsula is a feast for the senses, the seafaring history and Moorish architecture that Portugal and Spain are known for only tell part of their story. The other half lies in the local culture—which is best experienced at a bustling taverna or in a colorfully tiled plaza.
