BTD TOUR'S STORY

BOOK TODAY

©2024 - Terence O'Hare

Our Story & Commitment to Excellence

Beyond the Destination is born from a lifelong passion for the wild and wonderful places of our world. We believe travel should be more than just seeing the sights; it should be about connecting with the very heart of a land and its people. Through our affordable private tours across North America, we invite you to experience landscapes and cultures not as a tourist, but as a valued guest, fostering a deep respect and stewardship for these incredible places.

Your guide's journey is the foundation of our tours. With a background in anthropology and a heart for connection, he spent five years fully immersed in diverse cultures—not just visiting, but living. Imagine sharing meals and stories with over 300 host families across 11 countries, learning the rhythm of new languages, and exploring the soul of places like Germany, Portugal, Mexico, and the vast expanses of Canada and the USA. This deep well of experience is what transforms a simple trip into an unforgettable story.

Mission Statement

Beyond the Destination builds bridges of cross-cultural understanding and trust through interpersonal and multilingual Tour Directing, Tour Managing, Tour Guiding, Tour Consulting and Event Planning & Coordination, showcasing the natural and cultural world while promoting the dignity and value of all Human Life.
