About TakeMe Exploring
The world is better when we explore it.
TakeMe Exploring was created with a simple belief: the most memorable travel experiences happen when curious travelers connect with passionate local people.
We are building a global marketplace for tours, activities, and unforgettable experiences—bringing together carefully selected local tour operators and travelers looking for meaningful ways to discover a destination.
Our journey begins in Latin America: a region of extraordinary cultures, ancient civilizations, vibrant cities, remarkable landscapes, and some of the most welcoming people in the world. But this is only the beginning. As TakeMe Exploring grows, our marketplace will expand to new destinations and regions around the globe.
Our journey began in 2019
The story behind TakeMe Exploring began in 2019, with the creation and development of a local tour operation and a hands-on commitment to helping travelers experience destinations in a more personal and memorable way.
Working directly with travelers, guides, drivers, suppliers, attractions, and distribution partners gave us something invaluable: a real understanding of what makes a travel experience succeed.
We learned that an exceptional tour is not created by an itinerary alone. It depends on the people behind it—the local experts who know their destination, care about their guests, and transform a simple activity into a story worth remembering.
TakeMe Exploring is the next step in that journey.
Experience from both sides of the Atlantic
TakeMe Exploring is a joint venture created by entrepreneurs from the Americas and Europe, combining different perspectives with a shared passion for travel.
Our team brings together the practical experience of successful local tour operators and tourism industry leaders who understand how experiences are designed, operated, distributed, and enjoyed.
We know what travelers expect because we have served them directly. We understand the challenges faced by local operators because we have experienced them ourselves. This allows us to build a marketplace designed to create value for both.
More than a place to book
TakeMe Exploring is being created to make discovering and booking exceptional experiences easier, clearer, and more inspiring.
For travelers, it will be a trusted place to find distinctive tours and activities offered by knowledgeable local operators.
For operators, it will be a platform where quality experiences can reach customers from around the world, supported by technology, international visibility, and a genuine understanding of the tourism business.
We want outstanding local businesses—from established operators to remarkable independent experience creators—to have the opportunity to grow without losing the authenticity that makes them special.
Local knowledge. Global possibilities.
Our first focus is Latin America, where we are building relationships with selected operators across some of the region's most exciting destinations.
We are drawn to experiences that reveal the character of a place: its culture, food, history, people, landscapes, traditions, and everyday life. From iconic attractions to experiences beyond the usual tourist routes, we want travelers to discover not only where to go, but why a destination matters.
As we expand beyond Latin America, our purpose will remain the same: connecting the world's best travelers with trusted local operators and experiences worth traveling for.
What guides us
Authentic local experiences
We believe the people who know a destination best should play a central role in helping others discover it.
Carefully selected partners
We seek tour operators and experience providers who share our commitment to quality, professionalism, safety, hospitality, and respect for travelers and local communities.
Better connections
Technology should make travel easier while preserving the human relationships that make it meaningful.
Responsible growth
We want tourism to create opportunities for local businesses, guides, communities, and destinations—not only transactions.
Curiosity without borders
Travel begins with the desire to understand something new. We want to help that curiosity travel further.
This is just the beginning
TakeMe Exploring is a new marketplace built on years of real tourism experience and an ambitious international vision.
We are bringing together local expertise, entrepreneurial energy, industry knowledge, and smart technology to create a better way to discover and book experiences.
The next chapter of our journey is being written now—and we invite travelers, local operators, and tourism partners everywhere to become part of it.
