What is Holiday Senses
Holiday Senses is based in Lisbon, Portugal and was founded in 2018. The fairly new online marketplace focuses on selling activities in the south of Europe. They want to offer activities and experiences that take travelers out of their comfort zone and therefore call their products “sensations”. They look for thrilling and new kinds of experiences to add to their website that gives travelers an unforgettable, or rather a sensational holiday.
Their activities are sorted in region/country, but also in standard, private and premium sensations. In their standard sensation travelers simply book an experience to enjoy with others. Private sensations mean that travelers can book a private tour. The Premium sensations are for travelers that can’t or don’t want to afford a private sensation. They can select a number of participants they allow to join them, meaning that their experience is more private than a standard sensation but cheaper than a private sensation.
