What does it mean that we are the “artists of personalised holidays” since 2003?

Being the “artists of personalised holidays” means that, since 2003, we have transformed every journey into a truly unique creation. ActivTours® was among the first Romanian brands to focus on complete experiences – not just flights and hotels – understanding that refinement begins with thoughtful choices and genuine expertise.

Over more than two decades, we have learned what truly matters to a premium traveller: safety, guidance, and curated, verified options. We have tested and evaluated thousands of hotels to know, beyond any standard list, which ones are ideal for each traveller's style – from couples and families to solo travellers and luxury seekers. Today, our recommendations come from real experience, not catalogues.

Being “artists of holidays” means we don’t simply deliver packages, but experiences shaped with intention, responsibility and the care of a premium tour operator that has grown through quality. Every itinerary becomes a crafted piece – personal, refined and tailored to the one who lives it.

What makes ActivTours® different from classic booking websites?

ActivTours® stands out through an intelligent, intuitive and fully automated platform designed to help you build your holiday exactly as you envision it. The system instantly selects the best flight and hotel combinations, arranged chronologically and filtered by quality and real reviews, while giving you the freedom to keep the recommendations or customise everything in detail.

What are the ActivTours® thematic collections and how do they help me choose the ideal travel style?

The ActivTours® thematic collections are original concepts created exclusively by us, designed to turn holidays into meaningful experiences rather than simple trips. They belong to our main collection One Word. Limitless Experiences., and represent the different ways we invite you to travel: through emotion, rhythm, style and purpose. These concepts are the core themes of the ActivTours® website and reflect our philosophy — personalised journeys, lived in depth.

How do these collections help you?

They act as your compass. In just a few seconds, they filter thousands of options and show you only the styles that truly match you: romantic, active, cultural, gourmet, family-oriented, luxurious, spontaneous or specialised. The collections simplify the decision process, organise the choices for you and make planning intuitive. You are not just choosing a holiday — you are discovering your way of travelling.

Secondary themes exist only to help you understand where packages fit while you become familiar with our concepts, but the identity of ActivTours® is defined by the main collections. The 12 main ActivTours® concepts:

EVOKE – meaningful experiences, gastronomy, emotion

ESCAPE – romance, intimacy, honeymoon

TOGETHER – family, kids, multi-generation

What is the difference between Packages, Ideas, Trip Planner, City Moments and Tailor-Made?
