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.

Intrepid
Intrepid Travel’s annual sale starts on November 14 and runs through December 5. It discounts 800 Intrepid tours up to 20% off.

EF Go Ahead Tours
EF Go Ahead Tours is doing a full month of discounts that vary depending on when you book. We’re already into Week 3 (November 15 through 21), which is the time for discounts on summer (June, July, August) tours. From November 22 through 27, you can score discounts up to $800 on tours to traveler favorite destinations like the UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and destinations in Asia. From November 29 through December 1, the Black Friday part of the sale offers 25% off tours. The tour company has also just launched a fun-for-flexible-travelers Mystery Tours, which gives you $1,200 off a select tour that you don’t find out any details about (except that it’s a good season to visit) until after you book.
