About XTOUR

XTOUR is an independent, English-language travel knowledge site. It publishes destination guides, country hubs, practical topic pages, individual place pages, hidden gems and one interactive tourism map, covering 20 countries. Reading it is free and needs no account.

What XTOUR is for

XTOUR answers the questions a traveller asks after choosing a place: what is there, what it costs where that is documented, how to get around, when to go and what to check before arriving. Destinations are covered topic by topic, so you can go straight to the part of the trip you are working out.

The XTOUR map puts every destination, hidden gem and verified place on one map, so you can see what is near what before you open the full page.

How it is written

Facts come from verified records and official sources, and guides list those sources on the page. If a price, opening time or travel time cannot be confirmed, XTOUR says so rather than estimating it. Read the full editorial standards.

Countries XTOUR covers

For travel businesses

Tours and experiences appear only on pages about places they actually visit. Businesses can apply to be listed; every listing is reviewed before it appears.
