About TripWays

TripWays (an All Seen LLC website) turns a travel idea into a tour you can book. Type what you have in mind, like “a vineyard e-bike tour in Tuscany” or “a three-day trek in Nepal,” and you’ll see matching options from more than 16,000 tours, activities, and transfers across 3,500+ destinations, with 600+ local operators. You can also ask in your own words and get answers from the tour itself, such as what’s included, the plan for the day, where to meet, and the cancellation policy.

Every experience is listed with local operators, so you can compare real options at every price point. Where a tour offers free cancellation, that policy is on the tour page and again at checkout, before you pay.

You pay on TripWays with Stripe. Your card details go straight to Stripe and are not kept on our servers. A confirmation follows as soon as the booking is confirmed. You can also book flights and transfers, get visa help, or arrange luggage storage through partner sites. Those are separate from booking a tour on TripWays. Our travel magazine still sends guides and ideas to your inbox. If you already plan trips in ChatGPT or Claude, you can look up TripWays tours there too.

Our History

TripWays began with two adventurous cousins on a mission to explore the world. In 2006, they founded their first travel agency in Iran, offering tours across the Silk Road — from China to Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Tajikistan, and beyond. With a deep passion for cultural connection and affordable travel, they expanded operations to China by 2012, opening offices in Beijing and Shanghai, and serving over 10,000 travelers across Asia and the Middle East.

In 2016, Meysam, now TripWays’ CEO and co-founder, moved to the United States and launched a new travel venture that would eventually become TripWays.com: a global online travel marketplace connecting travelers with authentic, high-quality tours around the world.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought an industry-wide pause, but also a moment of reinvention. TripWays transformed from a traditional tour operator into a tech-powered platform focused on flexibility, curated travel, and human-made experiences backed by AI.

In 2024, TripWays added a trip assistant so people could describe the day they wanted and find matching tours from local operators.

Today

Today, TripWays offers more than 16,000 experiences in 3,500+ destinations worldwide, from day trips and cultural adventures to multi-day escapes.
In 2025, co-founders Sara and Meysam launched the TripWays Digital Nomads campaign, traveling the world as remote founders to personally experience tours, partner with local operators, and produce authentic video content from the field.

From Thailand to Vietnam and beyond, their journey bridges content creation, vendor relations, and marketing, bringing a human touch to the platform’s AI engine.

TripWays continues to help travelers plan a trip and book it with local operators. We’re not just a travel marketplace; we’re a trip companion, combining local know-how with simple tools so exploring the world takes less work.
