About us

We are committed to promoting hostels as being more than just a place to sleep and adding value to hostelling through pioneering unrivaled high quality, exceptional value activities for hostel guests such as free sight-seeing tours, night-time pub crawls and free activities on behalf of hostels. These free and low-cost services enhance hostels 'fun-factor' and directly increase their revenue while facilitating and encouraging guest interaction, the coming together of like-minded travel enthusiasts, a direct engagement with locals, an understanding of local culture and a thoroughly enjoyable stay in cities while also benefiting the local economy in no small way. Furthermore we aim to promote the culture of hostelling both on-line and off-line by re-emphasising the social spirit inherent in backpacking and this kind of travel to a new generation of travellers by working with those Hostels that are as passionate about their industry as we are; those who care about maintaining the excitement of travelling, discovering & learning something new

those hostels run by people who love the unique sociable and fun experience that is hostelling and strive to, not only maintain a high standard of facilities & service, but also naturally possess a great atmosphere & character. That's what hostels are about – it's more than just a bed, hostelling is an experience! Viagio Group has an exceptional team of young, fun-loving, enthusiastic & very professional individuals with a vast wealth of significant experience in the hostelling & backpacking tourism sector each having performed highly successfully in capacities ranging from hostel management to professional tour guiding and product marketing as well as graphic design, site building and programming. We all share a distinct love for travelling, hostelling, socialising, meeting new people, learning something new every day and making life more enjoyable for backpackers and independent travellers.
