isango!

An ambitious young travel company launched in 2007, isango! offers accommodation, alongside an information and booking service on holiday tours, sight-seeing attractions, activities and tips on the best things to do in more than 60 countries across the world. The aim is to give you a complete view of the experiences available in each place, allowing you to plan and book your holiday in the most convenient way.

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR HOLIDAY

This is a bright and cleanly designed sight, which makes browsing and booking accommodation, tickets, tours and activities abroad a breeze. In the top left hand corner of the home page, you can search for Tours and Activities, selecting by country, city and the activities (historical tours, wining and dining, city tours etc) that you would like to do once you get there; you can also search for Holidays, selecting the city and the type of break that you would like - cultural, family or romantic. Once you've made your choice, a list of various different holiday options pops up, offering you a price based upon a number of activities and accommodation. Visitors are given full information about the accommodation (including pictures, star ratings and traveller reviews) and an itinerary of the activity(ies) included. By making a combined booking, users can save themselves money. In addition, isango! offers a price match guarantee, charges no credit card fees and allows refunds or exchanges, at no charge up to three days before the booking.

A UNIQUE NEW CONCEPT

Since its launch, isango! has scooped various awards and is one of the few companies that focus on the what-you-do-when-you-get- there as opposed to the more logistical how-to-get-there. While some journalists and industry experts have criticised that pre-planned tours take the spontaneity out of a travel experience, co-founder Ranjan Singh argues that it would be a pity to miss out on an experience simply because you didn't know it was there - and isango! does make life incredibly easy. A unique concept, isango! marks a natural and welcome advance in the way that we travel and experience holidays.
