Had the same issue when going to hike Inca Trail in Peru 4 year ago! This is super helpful and way way better experience than googling through 100s of local agencies/companies with no idea what to expect upon arrival! Good job Stride! New feature is great!

Exactly what the travel industry needs right now. Most people don't have time to search for every little thing they want to do in a city. Stride is the perfect partner to offer a full experience that lets you immerse in the local culture.

This is amazing!

I like the prod, interface is great. I'd allow for multiple option selections... (e.g., what if you want adventure AND homestay? Currently, it's either or.)

@mkovacev Sometimes it's very difficult to find the right parameter for each traveler. We defined the standard for the industry making the selection as simple as possible and bringing quality results to all our customers.
Gavin Delany
Maker
@mkovacev its a good request and one we considered carefully. We aim to balance the best user experience without confusing 'typical' users and still providing power users more flexibility. Its a challenge given the way different operators describe their trips in the short term and our tagging accuracy but stay tuned in future as we'll certainly bringing more customization to the search/matching process.

Used it to find a trip for Spain, and I see "94 matches" - looks like there are a lot of great options. I see some trips with a "Preferred" tag, are those trips you recommend?
Samantha Scott
Maker
@kalyan_tulachan1 Hi Kalyan, thanks for your question! Our preferred and premier badges are status categories that Stride has created to help users sort quickly through known and reliable travel companies. They are awarded to companies with a 4.0 rating or higher, fair transparent pricing, high safety standards, creative and helpful itinerary design.
Gavin Delany
Maker
@kalyan_tulachan1 thanks and good question. Also to add to Samanthas comment... just because a trip or operator does not have the Preferred ( or 'Premier', the highest) doesnt necessarily mean its not great. It may just mean we dont have enough reviews yet for that company or that our team has not yet investigated and verified the other quality measures we look at. But any trips that have the badge you can be extra confident with that they are a tried and true reputable company with excellent customer service.
Emanuel Ilyayev
I like your product. But I would prefer an easy way to ask a question like: “I’d like to take a family vacation in South Africa, but nothing too luxurious” and get results. Is it something that is possible to do using your technology?
Gavin Delany
Maker
@emikil Thanks Emanuel. Stride does not currently support "semantic search" which is what I think you are asking for. That would indeed be cool and its certainly possible. We will be testing it in near future but part of the tricky part is balancing that type of search experience with most people who are not used to it vs 'traditional search and filters'. Would you be interested in joining our beta testing group for that feature?

An Outstanding and Remarkable Achievement. This is the cornerstone of the foundation of epic worldwide adventures.

Looks Like Kayak but for for the things you do. This seems to have the potential to save time and marriages. ;) Clean interface, pretty impressive number of trips available.

@stevebenson Thanks for the great feedback!
Hanna Bobrowicz
Can I find trips that safe for female solo travelers?
Samantha Scott
Maker
@jim22_ Hi Hannah, thanks for your question! Yes, there's a few different options. You can search for "solo friendly" tours - these are typically group tours as opposed to self guided - so you'll be with a guide and fellow travelers. We also have some tours that are women only. You can search for "women only" in the search bar from the home page :)

@jim22_ I'd like to add to Samantha's response which is completely correct. Also keep in mind pretty much any trip listed on Stride as Type: Group, Small Group, Cruise, or Private Guided will be SAFE for a solo female traveler. Most of the Self guided or Independent trip packages would also be considered safe for a solo female depending on your level of experience traveling internationally. Thanks for trying it out!
