Keystone Journeys: About Us

What we are all about.....

We want your travel memories to be of remarkable places, inspiring guides, interesting fellow travelling companions and resplendent local people.

Keystone Journeys has been designed to focus on adventure travel, Overland tours (budget and premium), Epic Adventures, small group tours, cruises and treks for travel enthusiasts and travel novices. We are a travel website born of a wealth of knowledge and first hand experience; and the simple fact that we want to offer some great trips to people who are looking for great trips. It is our wish to offer authentic adventures and responsible travel options spanning the globe.

We started out as backpackers many, many, years ago. We were then Guides, Overland Drivers, Operations Managers and Owner/Operators. We have lived in the UK, Europe, Central America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. We have built and designed Overland Trucks, and built and designed tours. We have worked for some of the biggest and best tour companies out there, and some of the smallest. We are seasoned travellers with first hand experience of everything we sell on this website.

The last 20 odd years have been spent travelling the globe or working at travelling the globe: Africa, South America, Central America, North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia....And there are still many places left to see and experience. They say the world is small, but until you look at what you have NOT seen of it, it is really quite big! Wanderlust is a wonderful disease and for the lucky ones who get to act on that wanderlust, they can only be all the more wiser for it.

We will not sugar coat the realities of certain destinations, we will not promise anything unattainable, we will not tell you something we do not know but we will offer suggestions for alternative travel if what we have turns out to not be suitable for you; that is, we will not coax you to book a 10 week Overland tour if what you are really after is a 2 week luxury safari.

We have a great deal of respect for the companies we work with in Africa, South America, the Middle East, Morocco, Central Asia and Antarctica. And of course, New Zealand. To inappropriately book a person on a tour that is not suitable for them spoils the experience for everyone involved: other passengers, Drivers, Guides, crew etc - but mostly for the person booked on the wrong tour. You will not only think we have done a poor job, but you will have had a bad experience in a country and culture that would otherwise have been a holiday of a life time.

Whether you already know where and when you want to travel, or have only a vague idea of a continent, we look forward to helping you plan your perfect journey.
