Costsaver

Costsaver is a travel company that offers budget-friendly, escorted group tours known as the “Ultimate Unpackaged Tour.” It is part of The Travel Corporation’s portfolio of brands, which also includes its more premium sister company, Trafalgar.

The core philosophy of Costsaver is to provide a balance of structured essentials and personal flexibility, allowing travelers to “Choose to See the World, Your Way.”

🌟 The “Unpackaged Tour” Concept

Costsaver breaks down a traditional tour into two main parts:

Essentials (Included): These are the core elements you can rely on them for:
- Quality Accommodation: Generally 3- and 4-star hotels, though they may be located on the outskirts of city centers.
- Comfortable Transport: Modern, air-conditioned coaches with amenities like Wi-Fi and charging stations.
- Must-See Sights: Essential sightseeing and iconic landmarks are included in the base price.
- Many Meals: Breakfasts are typically included, and a portion of the evening meals are covered.
- Expert Guidance: A dedicated Travel Director and local guides are with you throughout the journey.
Choice Experiences (Optional/Tailored by You): This is where you gain flexibility. Instead of having every activity pre-packaged, you can personalize your trip by:
- Choosing from a wide variety of optional “Choice Experiences” (excursions, special dinners, unique activities) at an extra cost.
- Having free time to explore on your own, follow your own interests, and choose local dining experiences.
