I love this time of year for a lot of reasons, including that so many tour companies put 2025 (and sometimes beyond) tours on sale for a limited time. For the companies, it’s a way to lock in participants for tours, and for travelers, it’s the gift of more affordable travel. Another bonus, at least in my eyes, is that booking a tour this far in advance gives you plenty of time to eagerly anticipate the adventure.
I’ll update this story as I find more November/December Black Friday and beyond tour company sales. I’m adding them as I get them so it’s not in alphabetical order and I’ll put any new ones I find at the bottom.
End-of-year tour company sales
Trafalgar
Trafalgar is offering up to 15% off select 2025 tours for bookings made through December 5. If you want to save even more, you can keep an eye on the one-tour-a-day 30% off promotion, but you’ll have to be ready to book that day to take advantage of the savings.
