Handpicked accommodation

Our accommodation choices are what turns a great trip into a magnificent trip. Far more than simply a place to rest your head, our carefully chosen accommodations often feature highly in the highlights of any tour.

We stay mostly in small hotels, and guesthouses situated close to the main sights and town centres. They are chosen for their local ambience and we look for attributes like character, location, atmosphere, cleanliness and security. (Standards may vary due to local conditions, but our preference is quality, comfortable en-suite rooms usually 3-4*)

Pre and post tour accommodation can be booked in our hotels to give you the chance to explore more of your arrival/departure cities as time in these cities is limited on the tour. Please contact us prior to your departure for hotel prices and to arrange your pre/post tour hotel booking. This service gives you the reassurance of having a guaranteed booking at an established hotel.

Quality, authentic dining

We go to extraordinary lengths to ensure you experience the widest variety of local foods available and get to experience the traditional cuisine of each region we are travelling to.

Food plays an integral part on any Compass Expeditions ride as we know that what you eat forms a critical part of your ride experience. A piece of toast and jam for breakfast just won’t cut it, on those occasions we supplement the breakfast with our own supplies. We are also known for our freshly prepared picnic lunches and fine choice of restaurants for dinners.

Vegetarians, vegans and those with allergies and special dietary requirements are well catered for no matter where we travel. A Compass Expeditions ride is NOT the place to start a diet. Feast your eyes on some of the places we eat.
