(LifeWire) - Company Information
This California-based company began in 1954 with a trip that followed the old silk route through China and Pakistan. Over the years, Travcoa has added many equally exotic destinations and now offers more than 40 escorted tours. In addition, the company will arrange almost any custom tour that a traveler can dream up.
Mission
Travcoa specializes in escorted tours to remote destinations such as Nepal, Zaire and Antarctica. Escorted Journeys follow set itineraries led by tour directors, while Custom Journeys feature destinations and activities determined by the traveler. The company also offers Private Jet Expeditions, which are around-the-world trips via a Boeing 757. Hallmarks of a Travcoa vacation are personalized attention (groups have no more than 18 people), luxurious accommodations and all-inclusive tours.
