Black Friday is here and it’s our biggest sale event of the year. We have a new weekly ‘BOGO’ offer getting you up to 50% off a companion’s seat, as well as other huge saving rates on some of our most popular trips. Whether you’re dreaming of Europe, the USA, Asia or beyond, here are 5 quick tips on how work our Black Friday travel deals to your advantage and unlock the best value on your next guided adventure.
1) Book a ‘BOGO’ trip and bring a friend for half the price
Each week of the sale (from 31 October to 4 December), six selected trips live as BOGO: pay full price for one guest and the second guest gets 50% off on the same departure (discount applied as 25% per person at checkout).
It’s one of the best value offers we’ve ever run. Here’s an example of one of the tours on offer from each week to watch out for (from Trafalgar’s most loved styles and regions):
- Week 1 (Oct 31–Nov 9): Real Britain – From London to Edinburgh via Bath, Stonehenge, the Cotswolds and the Lake District, this classic circuit packs in royal icons, Roman history and rolling countryside.
- Week 2 (Nov 10–16): Best of Devon and Cornwall – Explore England’s southwest coast: windswept moors, castle-topped cliffs at Tintagel, harbor towns like St Ives and seafood in Cornwall.
- Week 3 (Nov 17–23): Treasures of Spain and Portugal – Tapas in Madrid, flamenco in Seville, fado in Lisbon and port wine in Porto, with Moorish palaces and Iberian plazas along the way.
- Week 4 (Nov 24–Nov 30): Iceland Highlights – Geysers, glaciers and black-sand shores on a fast-moving loop from Reykjavík through the Golden Circle and the South Coast, plus a geothermal soak.
- Week 5 (Dec 1–Dec 4): Best of the Rhine & Amsterdam (River Cruise) – Sail past storybook castles and vineyards, with time for canal-lined Amsterdam and half-timbered old towns.
2) Go wider: save up to 15% on these popular Trafalgar tours
Don’t worry if one of the featured BOGO tours doesn’t suit your plans. Across the sale period we’ve also discounted a much wider selection of trips by up to 15%, with loads more departure dates and regions to choose from. Here are a few strong featured tours to add to your wishlist:
- Grand Italian Experience – A deep-dive through Italy’s regions, from canal-lined Venice to sunlit Sorrento and the heritage of Sicily.
- Iceland Highlights – Waterfalls, geysers, black-sand beaches and a geothermal soak to warm up after a day of exploring.
- National Parks Wonder (USA) – Zion to the Grand Canyon and Bryce: big western vistas with expert insights.
- Balkan Delight – Dubrovnik’s walls, Plitvice’s falls, and the Adriatic’s best coastal towns in one sweep.
- Great European / Grand European – The big hitters: an all-in panorama of Europe’s capitals and icons.
3) Stack your savings with Global Tour Rewards (past-guest 5%)
If you’ve traveled with us before, your Global Tour Rewards membership adds an extra 5% on top of your Black Friday savings, valid on both BOGO and 15% off Black Friday deals (per terms). That’s how you and your travel companion could both save up to 30% each on a BOGO tour! Make sure your past-guest profile is linked to your booking so the extra 5% applies at checkout.
4) Watch out for Week 5’s BOGO blow-out
The best prices go first. Mark your diary for each Monday tour drop, and especially for Week 5 (Dec 1–4). Instead of six, it’ll be sixteen trips on offer as part of the BOGO deal. That’s more than twice the usual number and a perfect chance to look out for a great deal on your dream destination. If you’re flexible on dates, filter by month and scan nearby departures, many guests secure their first-choice itinerary by nudging travel plans by just a week or two.
5) Stay in the loop with our newsletter (so you don’t miss the weekly switch-outs)
BOGO itineraries change weekly, and our 15% off Black Friday inventory shifts as departures fill. The easiest way to keep pace is to subscribe to our newsletter, where you’ll get first alerts on what’s live each week, plus reminders before deals end.
