Tours Gone Wild is one of the premier travel companies offering travel packages to Brazil. The company started in 2004 with Brazil as its main destination but has expanded to Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Spain, and Greece as well as offering travel packages to Miami, where the company is based.

Brazil remains as one of TGW’s main destinations and in 2008, the company opened an office in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to offer its clients better service as well as have a presence in Brazil. “One of the keys to surviving in the travel industry during these times is offering something unique with excellent service at a good price. We started the company in 2004 with more of a focus on nightlife and a younger demographic, but we have evolved into a full service travel company that caters to everyone. Our focus is to offer a high quality Brazil vacation package and guarantee that our clients have a vacation of a lifetime”, says Arturo Perchemlian, TGW Co-Founder.

Rio de Janeiro is TGW’s most popular Brazil travel destination. Rio de Janeiro Travel Packages include airfare, accommodation, transfers, a half-day city tour and VIP nightlife services. “Our nightlife services are offered in Rio de Janeiro year-round and we customize the VIP Service on the client. We have relationships with the best nightspots in Rio, but if the client is not into the club/bar scene, we will arrange for the guide to take him/her to a nice restaurant, samba show, live music or a nice place with a more relaxed atmosphere”, adds Mr. Perchemlian.  Read more...

For some people, taking city tours, visiting breweries, and lying out on the beach just isn’t enough. These tourists want a trip filled with adventure; one that’s off the beaten path. Adventure travel is a specialized type of travel that isn’t filled with the typical tour buses and bed-and-breakfasts. Adventure travel engulfs a more exploratory sense of the word “travel”. Adventure travelers would rather hike up a mountain, trek through a jungle, or ride white water rapids than sit in an air conditioned bus and be chauffeured from place to place.

However, although adventure travelers don’t partake in all-inclusive resort stays, adventure travel can still be quite expensive. That’s because the destinations adventure travelers travel to (and the activities they do) often require special guides, groups, and sometimes equipment.

If you want a change of scenery and want to experience adventure travel, here are some tips on how to make it more affordable. Follow these tips and save a few bucks for when you’re in-country.

If you’re planning a budget holiday, one thing you might want to consider is the correlation between seasons and destinations – and how that correlation affects cost. After all, most travel destinations, whether long-haul or local, have “peak” and “low” tourist seasons – meaning they’re cheapest to travel in at specific times of the year.

For instance, if you’re hoping to arrange an autumn getaway, one great budget travel destination is Nepal. To begin with, you’re likely to find reasonable flights to Nepal for autumn travel. And with the country’s cheap cost of living and travel – including everything from food and accommodation to trekking trips – your holiday in Nepal is sure to be both fulfilling and affordable.

Another fantastic travel destination for autumn is Istanbul. November is considered the first “off peak” month in Istanbul, and the weather is still gorgeous – so it’s the perfect time to take advantage of cheap travel offers.

Planning a winter getaway? Head to London in December, just in time for the city to transform into a winter wonderland. With everything from winter festivals ,events, and German Christmas markets, to festive decorations laid out all across the city, winter is simply a magical time to visit London.

What’s more, numerous tour operator, airlines and London hotels advertise specials and packages during winter and especially around Christmas – so you can enjoy a winter city break without spending out of your holiday budget.  Read more...
