Black Friday Travel Deals

Ah, Black Friday! I’ve been on the hunt for some great Black Friday travel deals. That’s because these days, I don’t want stuff. I don’t want new audio equipment or clothing or jewelry or furniture. It all takes up too much space. I am trying to whittle myself down to just the essentials. This year alone, I’ve donated two big garbage bags of clothing, shoes, and handbags, plus I’ve shredded EVERYTHING. (HomeShred.co.uk. I can recommend them highly. They’ve also helped me trash a few hard drives.) I still have a ways to go, but I’m getting there. Minimalism, I’m coming for you.

So all I want for Christmas this year is experiences, not stuff. You might have caught on to the fact that I’m a little addicted to a good three hour city tour. You should be too! Why just wander the streets of the city you are visiting when someone can take you around and tell you the key facts and help you notice things you wouldn’t have noticed otherwise! Give experiences, not gifts.

So this Black Friday, I’ve put together a list of tour and flight operators that will help you give the gift of memories, not things. Most of the operators listed below cover multiple cities and they all offer lots of food tours! Some are offering special Black Friday travel deals so do not delay in making your tour or flight booking!

Black Friday Deals on Tours

Urban Adventures Tours

If you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you know that I am a HUGE fan of Urban Adventures tours. They have tours all over the world and they just do a wonderful job of keeping things fun and organized. Also, CONSISTENT! In Cambodia, I did Urban Adventures tours in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.  And in Chiang Mai, I pretty much booked everything I did through Urban Adventures. Their tagline is Best. Day. Ever. And I can see why they say that. They have nearly 1000 different itineraries all over the world and a max group size of 12 which I like. Book an Book an Urban Adventure tour.

Viator Tours

Viator is the granddaddy of city tours. They have been doing this for a long time, and you can tell. They have probably the largest numbers of tours of any site. That being said, because they are an aggregator, quality differs tremendously. My Kuala Lumpur tour in January was hands-down the worst tour I’ve even been on. Then again, my Venice canal tour was probably one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. Read the reviews carefully but in general, you’ll have more good experiences than bad with Viator.

Black Friday Special Offers on Flights

QATAR AIRWAYS Special Offers

I flew Qatar Airways from Bali to London last month and call me a convert — it was AMAZING. I felt like I had my own personal flight attendant for both legs (Bali to Doha and Doha to London) and then on the A380 to London, there was a CHAMPAGNE BAR. What I love about Qatar is that you get oneworld points, so if you’re a British Airways person, these flights count towards your status. They are running a number of Black Friday travel deals, but it really depends on your location. For simplicity, I’ve included details on US, UK, and Australian deals but if Qatar flies to your country, chances are, they’ve got a deal for you too!
