Our Story
Built by Travelers,
For Travelers.
Parallel Travel and Tours Limited was founded on a single frustration: that the logistics of independent travel were needlessly complicated. We set out to fix that.
The Mission
We handle the complexity.
You handle the adventure.
Parallel Travel and Tours Limited was founded in Abuja, Nigeria in 2018 by Daniel Ohiri — a solo traveler turned entrepreneur who had grown tired of the same problem: the logistics of independent travel — flights, visas, transfers, accommodation — were fragmented, time-consuming, and prone to costly mistakes.
We built Parallel Travel and Tours Limited to be the logistics backbone every solo traveler deserves. Not a tour operator. Not a booking engine. A dedicated travel logistics partner that handles every moving part of your journey so you can arrive anywhere in the world with confidence.
Today, we've helped over 1,000 solo travelers reach destinations across all seven continents — from first-time backpackers to seasoned globetrotters planning their 50th country.
