Be inspired to travel differently.

With our busy lives it's more important than ever to use precious vacation time to recharge and refocus. That means planning a trip that includes unique experiences, flexible schedules and time for relaxation. Compass & Key hopes to inspire more fulfilling travel through curated destination guides that allow you to immerse in new cultures, connect with natural spaces and embrace the energy of a place and its people.

Itineraries for Wandering

You want to avoid being a tourist, but you still need a place to start. Compass & Key provides self-guided walking itineraries to put you in the right areas to explore while also highlighting specific points of interest that are culturally and historically significant.

Beyond the Guidebooks

We've consumed the travel guides, magazines, review sites, blogs, vlogs (you get the idea) on your behalf. Then we speak to locals to learn about unique destinations and ways to see the main attractions without the crowds.

Recharging in Nature

You've heard that nature can heal, but when it comes to your precious few vacation days, a visit to a natural space can be rejuvenating. Whether it's trekking a mountainside or visiting a local park, we incorporate nature into all of our guides.


TRAVEL SMART

While we enjoy little luxuries at Compass & Key, and certainly appreciate a good bargain, you'll find that the cost of most of our experiences will be a happy medium of the two. After all, this is an investment of your hard-earned money, and value is important.
