Our Story

Built by Travelers,
For Travelers.

Parallel Travel & Tours Limited was founded on a single frustration: that the logistics of travel — for any kind of traveler — were needlessly complicated. We set out to fix that.

The Mission

We handle the complexity. You handle the adventure.

Parallel Travel & Tours Limited was founded in Abuja, Nigeria in 2018 by Daniel Ohiri — a lifelong traveler turned entrepreneur who had grown tired of the same problem: the logistics of travel — flights, visas, transfers, accommodation — were fragmented, time-consuming, and prone to costly mistakes.

We built Parallel Travel & Tours Limited to be the logistics backbone every traveler deserves. Not a tour operator. Not a booking engine. A dedicated travel logistics partner that handles every moving part of your journey — whether you're traveling solo, with your family, in a group, or on business.

Today, we've helped over 1,000 travelers reach destinations across all seven continents — from first-time backpackers to corporate delegations and families planning their dream holiday.
