Not Your Grandmother's Tours

STOKE TRAVEL

By Jenna Wittenberg

 

 

Want to be able to travel around Europe with a group of people who know all the great spots but don’t want the stuffy, uptight feeling often associated with tours? Stoke Travel provides an option for travelers to hang out with people from all over the world to surf, ski, sightsee, and of course party. Stoke Travel offers packages that allow you to visit countries and cities that you’ve always wanted but without the trouble of finding a place to stay or trying to figure out where all the popular tourist attractions and little know gems are. As Stoke Travel puts it, “We are a reservoir of knowledge, we are wheels to a party, we are there to make sure you don’t kill yourself, but we aren’t going to stop you from trying.”


 

When I think guided tour, I imagine a bus full of socks and sandal wearing dads, moms with their cameras glued to their left hand, and screaming children ready to go back to the hotel pool. There’s usually one or two tour guides rushing families back onto the bus so they can leave on time and stick to the strict itinerary already laid out for everyone. When you book with Stoke Travel, leave this image at the airport. Stoke Travel is proud of their spontaneous and creative trips throughout Europe. The schedules are flexible and no two trips are the same. Based out of Barcelona, Stoke Travels strives to make sure all of their trips are loaded with people looking to have a good time from all over the world.


 

All of Stoke Travel’s are designed to be affordable, even on a backpacker’s budget. Just a few of their trips include Spring Break in Ibiza, St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland, and The Rolling Circus, a Europe-wide events tour.

So next time you are looking to find a group of people to travel to some of the best places in Europe with, book with Stoke Travel, not your grandmother’s vacation.

    It all depends if you want to go to a city, or more rural/country/park area, or even inaernationtl travel. For city travel, this is my suggestion. A few years back shortly after I had gotten out of college and had little money, a friend and I used something like Orbitz or Hotwire to book a vacation. We went to Chicago for 4 days, stayed in a luxury hotel (no joke, nicest hotel I've ever stayed in), and total cost for round-trip travel & hotel itself was $450. That left the rest for food and anything else we wanted to do. And if you explore the city without getting sucked into pricy tourist traps, you probably don't need much ($50 a day max?). Prices have gone up in the past few years obviously, but I still would bet you can do that trip or one to any other major US city of your choosing for under $1000. I just like Chicago since it's only a 1-hour time difference from the east coast. Really easy to avoid jetlag. Oh, and by the way, I just did a quick search for packages from Boston to Chicago on kayak.com (great travel site, in my opinion), and 3- & 4-star hotels are showing up from $425 to $550 for a Monday Thursday in January stay.Now, I'll have to think about those other 2 options and get back to you.
