Steady Channel was founded in 2010 with a simple yet powerful mission: to create travel experiences that transform lives. What began as a small specialized tour company has grown into a respected international tour operator, arranging memorable journeys for thousands of travelers each year.
Our founder, Emma Thompson, started the company after spending a decade as a travel writer and guide. During her extensive travels across six continents, she recognized a gap in the market for truly personalized, authentic travel experiences that balanced must-see attractions with off-the-beaten-path discoveries.
Today, Steady Channel is proud to operate tours and custom itineraries in over 50 countries worldwide. While we've grown substantially, we remain committed to our founding principles: personalized service, authentic experiences, and responsible travel practices that benefit both travelers and the destinations we visit.
When choosing a tour operator, look for companies that employ local guides who can provide authentic cultural insights and support the local economy.
We believe in creating genuine connections with local cultures, traditions, and environments, going beyond surface-level tourism.
We're committed to sustainable travel practices that respect local communities, preserve cultural heritage, and protect natural environments.
From your first inquiry to your return home, we provide attentive, personalized service with meticulous attention to detail.
We believe travel should be enjoyable at every stage. Our goal is to create moments of delight, discovery, and genuine happiness.
Our diverse team of travel experts brings together decades of experience, local knowledge, and a shared passion for creating exceptional travel experiences.
