Nerds Who Roam: Why Your Group Deserves a Nerdy Getaway
You and your people — you're knitters, readers, writers, birders, hikers, board gamers, Shakespeareans, or Star Trek fanfic enthusiasts. You gather regularly, united by your shared obsession. But have you ever thought about taking your nerdy love on the road?
Garden clubs are wonderful to travel with. Take yours to visit English gardens.
Imagine this: your book club sipping wine in a Tuscan villa, discussing A Room with a View while actually looking at a view. Your hiking group tackling the Scottish Highlands where Robert Louis Stevenson once wandered. Or your knitting circle cozying up in Iceland, purling away with local wool while geysers erupt in the distance.
Yes, we’re serious. And yes, it’s all very doable — especially when you have Nerds Tour making the magic happen.
Why Group Travel Just... Works
Affinity group travel (that’s the fancy name) is one of the best ways to deepen friendships, create unforgettable memories, and yes, justify that passport renewal you’ve been putting off. You already have the most important ingredient: a shared passion. All you need now is a travel agent who gets you.
That's us. We're travel nerds who love nothing more than helping other nerds travel — and we make it easy. Here's how:
We Herd the Cats So You Don’t Have To
You know how hard it is to get your group to pick a restaurant, let alone an international flight? Leave that to us. We handle all the registrations, keep track of who’s in, who’s out, who’s vegan-gluten-free-dairy-sensitive, and who always forgets their passport (looking at you, Linda).
Adventure travel is popular right now. Who better to flip a raft with than your friends?
Group Rates = More Yarn Money
We negotiate group rates for airfare, lodging, excursions, and museum passes or local guides. That means more bang for your collective buck — or, as we like to think of it, more room in the budget for books, boots, or British Bake-Off–themed pastries.
Sample Nerd Trips (We’ve Thought of Everything)
Here are a few of our favorite kinds of nerd-centric group trips — but truly, the sky (or Middle-earth) is the limit:
Book Club in the UK
Follow the Brontë sisters through Yorkshire, visit Jane Austen’s Bath, then hop over to Edinburgh for the International Book Festival. Bonus points for reading on trains.Knitting Circle in Iceland
Stay in Reykjavík, visit the Textile Museum in Blönduós, shop for Icelandic wool, and knit under the Northern Lights. (Yes. Really.)Writers' Retreat in Greece
Spend a week in a quiet villa in Crete. Daily writing prompts, sea views, olive oil tastings, and the kind of silence that inspires actual productivity.Hiking Nerds in Patagonia
Hit the trails in Torres del Paine, sleep under stars, eat chocolate with people who also love gear comparisons and discussing trail mix like sommeliers.Board Game Groups in Germany
Explore Nuremberg and Essen (hello, SPIEL), tour game studios, and stock up on strategy games before your checked bag gets suspiciously heavy.
It’s Not Just a Trip — It’s a Story
When you travel with your group, something shifts. Conversations get deeper. You laugh harder. And suddenly your inside jokes involve llamas, lightning storms, and that time Julie lost her shoe in the Grand Canal. These are the memories that stick — the kind you bring back and relive for years.
And the best part? You don’t have to plan a single spreadsheet, phone tree, or hotel call. Nerds Tour has you.
