A trip planned entirely around you, where the destination stays a secret until you travel. We learn how you like to travel, plan every detail, and reveal each stage through numbered, sealed envelopes. You don't plan anything. You just open the next envelope.

Almost anywhere in the world. The only limits are your budget, your dates and the places you'd rather skip.

Yes. On our Testimonials page, couples and families tell their own stories, many naming where we sent them, from Lapland to Hawaii. Forbes, The Independent, Vogue, Lonely Planet and National Geographic Traveller have written about us too.

The standard doesn't change. Only the not-knowing does. We choose every stay, guide and experience ourselves, with local partners we know and trust. What you gain is something seasoned travellers rarely get anymore: not knowing what comes next.

True luxury isn't endless options. It's not having to choose. Skip the research, the comparisons and the second-guessing. Hand the planning to people with years of experience, and trade it all for anticipation. Arrive with an open mind, free of fixed expectations, and simply enjoy the moment.

We start with a detailed questionnaire and a free call with the people who'll design your trip. We ask about trips you loved, trips you didn't, your pace, your passions and what you'd rather avoid. We also help you ask the right questions, so you go beyond seeing a place to connecting with the people who live there and finding what most visitors miss.

You give us a list of places you've been and places you'd rather skip. We plan around it.

Yes. Tell us what you want: warm sea, mountains, culture, adventure, slow days. You also set the length and the budget, and we'll tell you if the two fit together. The surprise happens inside those limits.

Places we'd want to stay ourselves. That might be a boutique hotel, a lodge, a private villa or somewhere unusual you'd never have found. We choose each one for its character, its comfort and the people who run it, who often have a story worth hearing.

Yes. We ask about allergies, restrictions and how you like to eat, and plan around them. The food experiences we arrange, and any meals included at your stays, are part of the trip. Other meals and drinks aren't, so you're free to eat wherever you like.

Tell us your preferred airlines and frequent flyer numbers, and we'll use them wherever we can. Our price includes economy flights, and we book premium whenever possible. If you'd rather fly on miles, you'll know where you're landing, so the surprise starts after you arrive, and we price the trip accordingly.

About a month before you leave, we send you a list of what to bring. It covers clothes, shoes and anything special you'll need, without giving the destination away.

We check the entry rules for your passport early. If you need a visa, we collect what's needed from you and handle the application in good time, keeping the surprise as intact as we can. Visa fees are paid by you, and making sure your passport is valid is up to you.

Before you leave, you receive a set of numbered, wax-sealed envelopes, usually ten, each marked with the date to open it. You open them one at a time as the trip unfolds, and each one reveals what comes next: a new place, a stay, an experience.

The first envelope is usually opened a couple of days before your departure and reveals your destination. On longer journeys, the next envelopes reveal each new stop as you go.

We won't stop you, but we'd ask you not to. Not knowing is what keeps you present in every moment. Keep each envelope sealed until its date.

That can work too. We can share the full plan with one of you and keep it a secret from the other. To be honest, in over ten years, no one has taken us up on it.

Each stage of your trip includes at least one surprise experience, chosen from what you've told us you love. In Bhutan, for example, guests can join local farming families planting native trees. We leave room around each experience, so it never feels like a tour.

You tell us your pace, and we plan around it. There's always free time for wandering, resting or doing nothing at all.

Some things are out of everyone's control. Before you leave, we set up a WhatsApp group with our team. If a flight is cancelled or the weather changes plans, we let you know and work on an alternative. You can message us any time, day or night, and we reply as quickly as we can. And if something isn't what you hoped, we're there to help you make the most of where you are.

Yes. Transport between the stages of your trip is booked and paid in advance: flights, transfers, trains, boats. If we arrange a rental car, fuel is extra.

Yes. Many of our trips celebrate something: a honeymoon, an anniversary, a birthday. Tell us what you're marking, and we'll plan a moment around it.

A honeymoon planned in secret, so after months of wedding planning you don't have to plan anything else. We design it around both of you, and you open each envelope together. It's also how Blind Experiences began: Chiara planned a surprise honeymoon as a wedding gift for two close friends.

We plan around everyone: young children, teenagers and adults. Each stage has something for every age, and opening the envelopes becomes something the whole family does together.

A trip for two people from different generations: a parent and child, a grandparent and grandchild, or any adult and a younger person who matters to them. Time away, just the two of you, with the next envelope to talk about. Nick and his son Max travelled this way.

Yes. We design surprise trips, expeditions and retreats for women travelling in private groups, including retreats for senior women leaders.

We're members of The Long Run, a global organisation of tourism businesses working on conservation, community, culture and commerce. Our impact comes from who we work with and where we send you. In Bhutan, our partner MyBhutan plants over 40,000 native saplings a year with rural farming families, and guests can join them. Our Impact Report sets out what we do and what we haven't solved yet.

There are no fixed prices or packages. Every itinerary is designed from scratch, and how much you invest is up to you. As a guide, trips cost about $2,000 per couple per day, including economy flights, stays, experiences, transport between stages, and all our planning and support. We price your trip once we know your dates, length and wishes, and you receive a clear quote before you commit.

Included: flights and transport between stages, all accommodation, at least one surprise experience per stage, your sealed envelopes, and all our planning and support before and during the trip. Not included: meals and drinks beyond those at your stays or in our food experiences, extra activities you choose there, fuel for rental cars, visa fees, tips and souvenirs. Travel insurance is priced separately, but we buy it for you, since you can't choose a policy without knowing where you're going.

A 50% deposit within 15 days of receiving your contract, and the remaining 50% thirty days before departure.

As early as you can. More time means more choice of stays, guides and flights, and better prices. Shorter-notice trips are sometimes possible, so feel free to ask.

We'll do everything we can to move your dates, but it depends on what's booked and how much notice you give. You can cancel at any time. More than 30 days before departure, the charge is 25% of the trip value plus any supplier costs. Within 30 days, it's the full value. These fees cover our time and the money already committed to suppliers. The travel insurance we arrange for you may cover some of this, and your contract has the full details.

Fill in the short form on our website with your dates, trip length and budget, or send us a WhatsApp message on +39 333 590 4079. We'll get back to you, usually to set up a free call with the people who'll design your trip.

A relaxed conversation, and the first time we get to meet you. We ask how you travel, what you love and what you'd rather avoid, and we answer everything you want to know, except where you're going. It always feels natural, and by the end we'll both know if we're the right fit. Usually, we are.
