What Trafalgar travel personality are you? Discover your perfect tour

What kind of traveler are you? Do you prefer to throw yourself headfirst into every possible adventure, or are you more laid-back, preferring the quieter moments? Don’t know? Don’t panic. The Trafalgar Travel Personality Quiz is here to help you discover how you travel best – and match you up with your perfect tour. 

The Trafalgar Travel Personality Quiz 

Earlier this year, you may have spotted a huge competition on our social media channels: the Trafalgar Unlocked Awards. This was the beginning of the Trafalgar Travel Personality Quiz, where past guests from around the world were invited to submit their favorite travel memories, which were judged to win a place on a thrilling 7-day tour to Costa Rica. 

We saw over 4,000 entries fly in, and – combined with over 10,000 entries from previous years – we used these thousands of true stories along with hours of interview footage of real guests on tour to establish 6 personality profiles that represented Trafalgar travelers around the globe.  

The result? The Trafalgar Travel Personality Quiz, created for travelers like you to better understand yourself and your own travel needs. 

You may have already taken the quiz and got your result – if so, read on to find out a little bit more about your travelling style, and which tours could be perfect for you. Haven’t taken the quiz yet? What are you waiting for? Find your Trafalgar Travel Personality now.
