Following a decade pioneering trekking and wildlife holidays in the Himalaya, Rowan Paterson and Nick Van Gruisen started the company as Worldwide Journeys & Expeditions in 1991. The plan was simple, to take the innovative skills we had honed from our Himalayan days and to apply them globally, but without compromising our personal and friendly approach.

25 years on, and renamed The Ultimate Travel Company with a portfolio that truly covers the globe, we are still as fully committed to the same hands on philosophy.

While we like to think we have achieved our dream, we do know that none of this would have been possible without your loyalty, support and encouragement. So a huge thank you and here's to the next 25 years!
