Thank you for your interest in our company.

The MIR world centers around serving travelers drawn to less familiar and emerging destinations, places like Azerbaijan and Albania, Serbia and Saudi Arabia, Tibet and Turkmenistan. MIR works with travelers who want to discover places that are not always easy to navigate independently. Our focus is on Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East–regions where local knowledge, context, and careful planning make a real difference.

For nearly 40 years, MIR has designed and operated trips in these regions, working directly with local experts, our own field offices, and long-standing partners. Our approach is practical and experience-based. We pay close attention to how places actually function on the ground, how to pace a journey well, and how to introduce travelers to people who know their country deeply.

Our name means “peace” in several Slavic languages, and it reflects a belief behind much of our work: that travel, when done with care, can help people see beyond headlines and preconceptions. We work with travelers who are well prepared, engaged, and interested in learning from the places they visit.

MIR has twice been named one of National Geographic Adventure‘s “Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth,” is a six-time recipient of Tours of a Lifetime awards, has won numerous honors for its tour catalog and website. MIR is also a preferred operator for museum, alumni and special interest organizations across the United States, and a preferred Central Asia and South Caucasus ground operator for tour operators in Europe, North America, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

If you think you would be a good fit at MIR, we would welcome hearing from you.
