WHY WE RECOMMEND Byway

Sustainability

Sustainable, safe and slow travel is the way at Byway. As well as offering 100% flight-free holidays, they can also book local places to eat and stay.

Authentic experiences

A team of local experts will recommend non-touristy activities, tell you about great local businesses and direct you to deliciously uncrowded eateries.

Seamless service

Byway designs trips tailored to you and there will always be someone on hand for support. We love the fact you can easily contact them via WhatsApp.

Meaningful adventures

With Byway, you’ll really get to know a destination. Now more than ever, there’s so much joy in slowing down and taking the scenic route.

the Byway difference

Unique to you

Byway creates a fully personalised journey designed around your interests, group size, transport and accommodation preferences, diet and other personal requirements. Their technology optimises routes based on enjoyment rather than speed and plans stops based on your preferences. Each trip is uniquely yours as if you’d planned it yourself, just without all the hassle of research, route planning and booking.

Off the beaten path

Byway’s team of experts recommend delightful detours and hidden gems, spanning experiences and activities, local shops and businesses, and wonderful eateries tucked away from the crowds. Their planning tool deprioritises overtouristed locations and offers alternative spots selected by local experts. It’s a great way to avoid tourist traps and feel like a local no matter where you’re heading.

Sustainable

Not only are their modes of transport significantly better for the planet than flying, but Byway also recommends and books places to stay that are sustainable, part of their local community and switched on to all things slow. They’ve worked hard to vet activity and restaurant recommendations by local advisors and sustainability principles, and even offer a vegan travel planner.

Superb customer service

All of Byway’s prices include real people ready to help you with disruption support, direction and timely travel tips. An added bonus is you can text via WhatsApp. In the age of “we’re experiencing unusual call volumes, please hold”, it’s all very human. Their trips are ABTA bonded which means all bookings are fully refundable or can be moved at no charge in the case of travel restrictions or disruptions.
