Built by people who love the road

Wayfarer & Co. started in 2008 with one van, one route through the Sierra and a belief that a good trip is about the people you meet, not the number of stops you tick off.

Today we run guided tours in all regions of the country. Every itinerary is scouted by our own team each season, and every guide lives in the area they lead. That is how you end up at the diner locals actually eat at.

What guests say

★★★★★

Our guide knew a diner near Bryce where the pie alone was worth the trip. Nothing felt rushed or touristy.

Maria & Dan T.Canyon Country Loop
★★★★★

I traveled solo and was nervous. By day two the group felt like friends, and the logistics were flawless.

Priya S.Yosemite Sunrise Escape
★★★★★

They rebooked our Maui flight within an hour when a storm hit. That kind of support is rare.

1. Information we collect

Dietary and accessibility details can reveal health information. We ask only when needed to run your trip and use it for that purpose alone.

2. How we use it

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

3. Who we share it with

Only service providers and partners needed to deliver your trip: hotels, transport and activity operators, payment processors, email and hosting providers, analytics tools, and insurers if you buy travel insurance. They may use your data only for the services they provide to us. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect safety and rights, or in a merger or sale of the business.

We use essential cookies to keep the site working, and, only with your consent, analytics cookies to understand how it is used. You can change your choice by clearing your browser data, or by using browser settings and the Global Privacy Control signal, which we honor.

5. Retention and security

We keep booking records for up to 7 years for tax and legal reasons, and enquiries that do not become bookings for up to 24 months. Marketing data is kept until you unsubscribe. We use encryption in transit, access controls and staff training, but no system is perfectly secure, so please share sensitive details only through the channels we give you.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Texas and other states with privacy laws), you may have the right to know and access what we hold, correct it, delete it, receive a copy, and opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising or profiling. You also have the right not to be treated unfairly for using these rights. To make a request, email us at the address below. We will verify your identity and reply within 45 days. You may appeal a refusal by replying to our response, and you may also contact your state attorney general.
