They go above standard offerings to create truly unique travel experiences, designing bespoke itineraries covering every corner of the U.S.
Breadth and depth
With industry expertise and strong partner connections, they can confidently deliver exceptional, creative itineraries across the U.S. Their tours have a distinct local flavour and they take pride in showcasing lesser-known gems with which even many Americans are not familiar! They collaborate with top-tier activity providers, expert guides, and boutique hotels in every destination to ensure authenticity at every step.
Since 2023
Quest Excursions was inspired by a simple idea: that travel should be a way to build genuine bonds between travellers and locals. Recognising this gap in the market, Eric and James launched the company in 2023 with a focus on personalised, authentic travel and community-building.
Eric Chamberlain
Eric spent seven years as Head of Destination Development at travel-tech platform kimkim, building their DMC partner network in over 100 countries. He and his co-founder James have been friends for over a decade, bonding over travel planning in their MBA program. Driven by their passion for exploration and community, they launched Quest Excursions to offer a better way for travellers to experience the U.S.
