What we’re about
This group is about sharing our travel stories, tips and experiences. Welcome to group travel savings!
As we become acquainted, we make travel plans. You are welcome wherever you live. Membership is free.
Whether you are single or a couple, it's more fun to travel in a group and with people you know! All ages are welcome. We meet regularly and ask for suggestions of destinations group members would like to visit.
The Trips
If you like touring, cruising, adventure, sightseeing holidays, city breaks and activity holidays then this group is for you. You can even be the pilot flying a Boeing 737 Jet in a state-of-the-art simulator on our very popular ‘pilots wanted days’.
It's not just overseas travel. We'll also have days out and weekends in the UK. By traveling together we can access extra group savings to make it more affordable. As a group we can negotiate deals for our members.
Basic Rules
We are a MeetUp group, so please ensure you are familiar with MeetUp's community guidelines - appropriate standards of behaviour are expected both on and offline are expected.
How Travel Addicts works
1. RSVP to a trip on the MeetUp you like that someone else has chosen and the organiser will be in touch to discuss. You can also find your own trip with ANY tour operator and we can turn it into a MeetUp. In most cases we can get you a better price if you book the trip through our agency than booking direct.
2. I’ll get in touch to discuss your booking and take a deposit
3. If you are travelling solo, we’ll match you with a room-mate of the same gender or you can choose to pay the single supplement where available. Some tours have zero single supplements and a few of the more adventurous trips may not have a single room option. If we can't match you with someone then sometimes a single supplement may be the only option for a trip.
Is my money safe?
All trips we organise are through a financially protected travel agency. If you book anything with us, you pay the travel agency, not into a personal bank account. You will get an individual receipt and written confirmation of the arrangements from the bonded tour operator. If flights are included, you will get an ATOL certificate. Payments are welcome by bank transfer, credit or debit card. We'll always name the operator and your price will never be more than if you had booked directly with them yourself. It is more likely to be less with our group buying power.
If you are thinking of making an individual booking direct with any adventure or touring company, call us first for the best price. e.g. CostSaver, Explore, Intrepid, G Adventures, Trek America, Cosmos, Travelsphere, Titan, Riviera Travel, Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Contiki and many more.
