Launched in 2003 as a multi-brand tour operator, Group IST traces its roots back to the early 1980’s, as a pioneer in cultural travel. Group IST now encompasses a family of category-leading niche travel brands and acts as operating and/or marketing partner in several joint ventures. Though New York City is where we are headquartered, we have partner offices across the world and are here to guide our clients every step of the way of their journey, from planning the trip to seeing groups off at the airport.
Group IST proudly owns and operates the following brands:
