We back the people behind the world’s best travel experiences

    Founder-led. Guest-obsessed. Category-leading in the world’s most iconic destinations.

    Why Flagship exists

    Travel is remembered by its experiences. The people who make them deserve a bigger stage.

    Ask anyone about their favorite trip and they won’t describe the flight. They’ll tell you about the guide who brought a place to life.

    Flagship acquires and invests in experience businesses. We back their brands, teams and leaders with capital, technology and shared capabilities — without turning them into one undifferentiated global brand.

    Our companies

    Strong brands. Built to stay distinct.

    Each company brings its own name, expertise and local judgment. Together, they form a growing house of experience brands.

    Selected brand

    WalksDevour

    The home of Walks and Devour Tours, bringing together cultural and food experiences across major destinations.

    Two tour companies. One new brand.

    Jose Arozarena

    Founder & CEO, Amigo Tours

    Founded Amigo Tours in Mexico City and grew it into one of the largest day-trip operators in the Spanish-speaking world.

    “The opportunity now is to learn from one another and build something that none of us could build alone. Nothing about what we love to do every day changes, but everything about what’s possible grows.”

    Emiliano & Angela Tufano

    Co-founders, Askos Tours

    Built Askos into Southern Italy’s specialist for small-group cultural and archaeological experiences.

    “Some of the best ideas in our company came from a single guide in a single city. Imagine what happens when those ideas can travel across every brand in the group.”

    CEO, WalksDevour

    Leads WalksDevour, the global guided-experience brand formed when Walks and Devour joined forces in 2021.

    “It is about bringing together extraordinary entrepreneurs, guides and teams who have each built something special, and giving them a bigger stage, a stronger community and more resources to keep raising the standard for the entire industry.”
