Our Story
Experience the World Through Unique, Active Adventures
Travel isn’t just about where you go—it’s about how it makes you feel. That belief is at the heart of Take Me Away Tours.

Learn About Our Journey
Our story began in 1991, sparked by founder Doug Lofland’s deep love for planning adventures that inspire awe, connection, and self-discovery. After years of running successful tours across Europe and beyond, the business was reborn in 2018 with a renewed mission: to deliver travel experiences that are emotionally rich, culturally immersive, and far from ordinary.
Doug’s journey—from planning his wife’s graduation trip in a D.C. parking garage in the 90s to building a career rooted in passion—has shaped every aspect of what we do. This isn’t mass-market travel. We’re not for everyone, and that’s okay. Our travelers want to think, feel, explore, and walk away changed.
