Corporate Retreat Experts
New Group Guides is a family-owned, corporate offsite tour company that introduces groups large and small to America. Beginning in San Francisco, we provide corporate clients with private hosts, transportation, California destination-management services, travel recommendations and more.
We began specifically to enhance our community’s happiness, to show employees a different America from the cookie-cutter offsites while making them feel welcome, without gimmicks or shticks, no matter your state of origin, home country, race, color or creed.
Road Trip Your Heart Out
Nothing says America like a good old-fashioned road trip. It’s in the lifeblood of our country! Unfortunately, many guests to America, and even long-time residents of California, miss out on this great experience. Regardless of how much time you spend online, rarely can you uncover the small, yet fascinating tidbits and nuances only a private host is trained to provide.
Private tour guidance, transportation, California corporate retreats — we share our skills and knowledge with one goal in mind: to show your clients the authentic America we love as if they are a guest in our home.
Corporate Offsite Ideas
Just as every American city is unique, so is every group. Our private guides are skilled in adapting to each situation. What works for one group may not fit for another. Our retreat specialists understand this and know how to change our dynamics and operate accordingly.
Do you want to hike to the top of Half Dome for a corporate board meeting? Or offer a Private San Francisco Tour to your California guests? We’ll professionally operate your company outing, whether you want to stay in luxury hotels or camp beneath the California redwoods.
Best Bay Area Transportation
Transportation can be a confusing piece of a corporate retreat puzzle. No need to search online as a first-timer; with one phone call we’ll begin to curate a custom Califonia offsite experience for you, with transportation, expert private guides and logistics included.
You can procure a luxury Mercedes GL to host VIPs in San Francisco or gather nine VW camper buses together for employees and their pets for a socially distanced road trip. Over-the-road transportation is easy when you choose the right teammates.
Private Tour Guides
In any adventure, having the correct travel companion can make all the difference. That’s why we pride ourselves on being on the ground to help your private group during your stay, as opposed to subcontracting the work and pulling strings from an office (what so many “travel consultants” are guilty of).
A private day of wine tasting in Napa Valley? A Joshua Tree corporate retreat? Pacific Coast Highway camping adventure? Choose the hosts who can create a local, authentic experience for any travel style or budget.
Corporate Puzzle Piece
Instead of dealing with cumbersome planning details, hire our private tour guides to handle your corporate retreat. We can put our egos aside to represent your brand proudly and correctly with your employees’ long-term interests in mind.
We perform private tours for global tour companies, Bay Area corporations, Silicon Valley startups and more — with a laser-precision focus on your brand, not ours. Think of us as your California travel teammates on the inside.
New Team Building Idea
From hosting corporate groups to private clubs to entrepreneurs and more, our California Corporate Retreats can last anywhere from four hours (our minimum) to several days. It all depends on your time frame and how much adventure you’re looking for.
Do you want your sales department to road trip the Pacific Coast Highway? Or venture as a group to Yosemite for a few days of hiking, swimming and marshmallow s’mores? San Francisco, Johsua Tree, Route 66 and more — we know how to show your private group the real Wild West.
Return to Your Roots
Make efficient use of your time by selecting the right hosts to manage your corporate offsite. This can be anything from leisure travel for a small group to a private Yosemite corporate retreat. A few glasses of white wine in Sonoma, anyone?
And remember, California is more than big cities. Go beyond the usual happy hour and offer your employees getaways such as hiking or camping — an opportunity for an escape from technology to rejuvenate their spirits and feed their souls. A return on investment never felt so good.
Outdoor Development Workshops
Instagram may show you the photos, but boots-on-the-ground travel gives you the opportunity for lifelong memories. Remember the first time you camped under the stars? Inner growth requires more than an internet search. Combined in an educational way, your California corporate retreat will be easy to enjoy.
We can go beyond the sights and offer insights in leadership, entrepreneurship and more. Our private guide have your clients’ interests at heart whether you are new to America or a local.
View From Above
The right private guide can be a linchpin for a successful corporate retreat. Whether through offering the correct words, style or camaraderie, we’ll show your employees the Californian experience they deserve, the same way we’d introduce a friend to our home.
The best adventures are stress-free ones. Whether you need a California corporate retreat, destination management services, subject matter expert or more — how may we help?
