About Travel Wise Guides
We have searched the world over for people with detailed and intimate knowledge of some of our favorite travel destinations. All our area experts have spent extensive amounts of time in their specialized area, meaning months or years not weeks. They are familiar with the communities, the tour guides, the hidden spots, the best restaurants, and the popular destinations that really are not that spectacular.
They are also familiar with the concepts of world schooling, unschooling, self-directed learning, and more. They know which lodgings and restaurants are actually kid friendly, which spots are safe for toddlers, where to learn about ecosystems, history and culture, and where to get the things you need to make traveling with kids fun. While worldschooling families were our initial inspiration, we are glad to create itineraries for other groups as well as solo travelers.
All our area specialists are also neurodivergent affirming and can share situations and places that may present challenges for ND family members. They will also listen to any concerns or special interests the people in your group may have and make recommendations accordingly. They are also sensitive to the particular issues of safety for lgbtq+ travelers, disabled travelers, women traveling alone, and racial, cultural, and religious issues. This is a safe place to get authentic and honest answers about what places are and are not safe for everyone.
It’s like having a trusted friend in every destination who can share with you the best their area has to offer.

They will then present you with an itinerary, and you can ask for any changes you would like to make. When you are satisfied with your itinerary, your area expert will reserve all your tours and transports if you added the reservation plus package.
