Vivamundo Reisen

What Vivamundo Reisen does

Vivamundo Reisen is a privately held German travel agency founded in 2011 and headquartered in Grävenwiesbach (near Kronberg), Germany, specializing in bespoke long-haul travel. The company designs and sells tailor-made individual trips, small group tours, Ayurveda and wellness retreats, and women-only travel programs to over 40 destinations across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Antarctica. Customers engage with personal consultants via phone (+49 6083 348 9960) and website contact forms, with the founder Michaela Schiffer visible as the public face of the brand.

The product portfolio spans four core lines: Individualreisen (custom itineraries built with vetted local specialists), Kleingruppenreisen (small group tours with local guides), Frauenreisen (women-only trips operated under the Frauenreisen Weltweit sub-brand), and Ayurveda/Wellness Reisen (resort packages in India, Sri Lanka, Spain, and Turkey). A destination-specific sub-product, the Taiwan Katalog, packages multiple itinerary styles (group, individual, self-drive, hiking, premium) for a single country. Pricing is per-person, ranging from approximately €759 for compact 5-day group tours to over €7,300 for premium individual packages; per-trip price points typically fall in the €3,000-€6,500 range for standard long-haul individual travel. The business does not use third-party resellers or online travel agencies, maintaining a direct-to-consumer model throughout booking and trip delivery.

The revenue model is one-time purchase of travel packages with no subscription, freemium, or platform components. Distribution relies on the corporate website, email newsletters, organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and digital catalogs. Marketing partnerships with destination tourism boards (Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia), airlines (Emirates, SriLankan), and insurance providers (Hanse Merkur, LTA) extend reach. The company operates with a small team (1-10 employees), is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and has no public revenue or financial disclosures.
