Our story

Real Travelling is brought to you by the team behind Gap 360, a leading independent gap year and youth travel specialist. As Gap 360, we’ve been taking travellers all over the globe for more than 20 years. That’s more than 20 years of bucket list moments, new friendships, and unforgettable adventures. Basically, we really know travel.

Gap 360 has that all important year out after university or between jobs covered, but we got to thinking, what about people who don’t have a year to spare but still crave adventure? People who are tired of the same old beach break and are looking for something a bit different. People who want to explore the world’s most incredible destinations with other people like them. Real Travelling answers that question. 

Carefully crafted for adventurous travellers in their 20s and 30s, Real Travelling group trips feature enhanced accommodation with mostly twin or double-share rooms rather than dorms, and lots of included activities to give you the richest experience possible. All a month or less in duration, they’re ideal if you’re looking for a mini career break, or a memorable holiday.

From sleeping under the stars in the desert and rafting through Costa Rican cloud forest to spending the night in a family home in rural India, our trips are more than just holidays, they’re life-changing experiences.
