About Vialala

Vialala was initially called Unictour and was first a project for a guided tour portal similar to AirBnB Experiences (2015-2017).

In August 2017, the 2 founders decided to allow guides, travel planners, AirBnB hosts, and all independent tourism professionals to offer full stays and trips. To do this, it was necessary to merge within the same proposal for travelers the experiences and activities, accommodations, flight tickets, and any other tourist service.

This is how a few months later, in 2018, Unictour became Vialala and developed the first fully integrated platform for creating, booking, and managing custom trips.

The power of customized travel between individuals at Vialala is that it completely changes the game in the tourism sector. Instead of a single travel advisor for all possible trips, like in traditional travel agencies, we put you in contact with a local expert from your destination who speaks French, who may travel like you, with their children, with friends, or as a couple, or who offers the experience you want to have for your next vacation: scuba diving, with several possible destinations, hiking, or any other nature or culture experience of your choice, including, for example, oenology. Similar to dating apps, we introduce you to the right person to organize your vacation according to your needs: in some cases, you just need advice, in other cases, you want to be accompanied or even fully taken care of. Depending on your own travel project, we find the right person for you.

All the trips offered by Vialala are 100% customizable, meaning they can be endlessly tailored according to the desires of the travelers, guided by the organizers. These organizers can offer their advice for completely independent travel, or offer their own services, accommodations, activities, welcome, etc., in addition to their advice. In any case, they propose a complete and 100% customizable itinerary to each traveler who contacts them.

Vialala, therefore, primarily utilizes digital technology to finally offer unique and more responsible personalized trips organized directly with the best creators, whether they are travel planners, hosts, guides, or more generally "experience creators".
 

Unique : each travel quote is personalized within the framework of an exchange on the project page. Travelers have access to specialists of their destination or their travel theme (as a couple, with family, nature, hiking, etc.), the Travel Planners, who take the time for written and oral conversation with them. This allows creating unique stays and itineraries, 100% customizable, for all vacationers. A huge time saver and especially the opportunity to have access to authentic insider tips, impossible to identify on one's own or through even local traditional agencies;
 

Local : each Travel Planner is an expert on the destination or the experience they offer: not only are they passionate specialists carefully selected, but they also choose their local providers directly.  This means that the trips created for you by Vialala and the Travel Planners are more immersive, but also that we contact the providers directly on-site (accommodations, experiences, etc.) to promote buying from "producers" in a short supply chain, without unnecessary intermediaries. The Travel Planner is authorized to choose a local provider, for accommodation, an activity, a vehicle rental, etc.: they do this entirely independently and by promoting direct purchasing on-site, which not only supports the local economy but also ensures the best prices for travelers;
 

Responsible : by venturing off the beaten path, travelers distribute themselves better according to their desires and tastes. They crowd less into the same places chosen by default. Moreover, all travelers and travel organizers have become aware of the need to travel differently in the future. And we are working on all topics, including airplanes and accommodations, on the opportunities to push travel in the right direction, both on carbon offsetting for flights and on other services, particularly accommodations.
