Wheel & Anchor Small Group Tours
Proudly Canadian travel for people who would rather arrive than tour.
Meet our founder
I started Wheel & Anchor for people who want to see the world properly: slowly, in good company, with someone who knows the way. I still travel with our members every year, and I read every note you send us.
After all, this is why we travel, is it not?
Gordon
Founder, Wheel & Anchor
The Wheel & Anchor way
We plan the kind of trip we'd want to take ourselves: small groups, a few nights in each place, and someone who knows the way.
Most trips run with 9 to 18 travellers, so there's room at every table and your guide learns your name.
A Wheel & Anchor host travels with the group from the first morning to the last evening.
Several nights in each place rather than a new hotel every morning, with free time built into each day.
Kaffee Klatches online, Canadian Socials, and a newsletter most Saturdays keep us in touch between trips.

4.9 / 5
Average rating from members after every trip
“Ireland with Wheel & Anchor felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by friends who happened to know everything.”
“The pace was the gift. We saw everything we hoped to and never felt marched.”
“This is our 3rd W&A trip, I continue to brag about the quality of the entire trip. Our friends who came with us also enjoyed their trip and thanked me for suggesting your company.”
Companions for the Road
Our Companions for the Road program helps solo travellers find a roommate or a travel companion, so you can share the trip, and the single supplement, with someone likeminded.
