Our groups will be a maximum of 18-20 people, and in many cases will run with as few at 6-8.
We like experiences that feel authentic, so fewer people = better experiences, deeper connections, and way more flexibility.
Think cozy dinners, inside jokes, and actually getting to know the place youβre visiting and the new friends youβre traveling with.

Weβve seen people on our tours between ages 22-65. Honestly, each destination speaks to different travelers, so the group changes with each location. Sometimes, we have a daughter and dad, couples, more solo female travelers, or groups of families.
Every tour is a welcoming environment to get to know people we wouldnβt normally have uninterrupted time to hang out with, which is what makes it really special.
As long as youβre physically capable of the itinerary youβre considering, we welcome you to join us!

Hi, Iβm Maria!
I didnβt start Wild World Tours just because I love to travel - I started it because of the way travel has changed me as a person.
Iβm originally from Pittsburgh but have lived in Cincinnati, Ohio since 2010, where I attended the University of Cincinnati and earned my Masterβs degree in Marketing. I started my career on a pretty traditional corporate path, but the more I traveled, the more I realized I didnβt want a life that felt predictable. I wanted freedom, creativity, and experiences that actually made me feel alive.
Some of the biggest turning points in my life happened in places where I didnβt know the language, didnβt know anyone, and had no choice but to be fully present. Travel has a way of shaking up your expectations in the best possible way. It makes you braver, softer, more curious.
My mission is to crack your comfort zone wide open and give you a different perspective through new experiences.
If that kind of travel speaks to you, youβre in the right place!
It has been a beautiful journey thusfar - and weβve only just begun. I sincerely hope to see you on a tour.
