Why Travel With Us

Distinguishing Difference

• Our Blackbook: We dig deep into our roots to enrich your routes.
• We go where you couldn’t get to by yourself: And we tread lightly wherever we go. Look over our sustainable travel commitment.
• We seek out less travelled roads: Exclusive access. Private viewings.
• We cherry-pick for charm and character: You taste seasonal food;
  drink regional wines; savour local fare at owner-managed restaurants;
  stay in family-run hotels.
• We bring together like-minded travelers: Who interpret the spirit of camaraderie as quality time together and exploratory time apart
• You get an insider’s perspective.

SUBSTANCE  & VALUE
Our Hallmark is our portfolio of specialist guest lecturers who bring alive their worlds through their stories and share juicy nuggets not covered in guidebooks. While our tour leaders have an ear-to-the-ground and secret places up their sleeves.

PEACE OF MIND
Every detail is meticulously taken care of. We watch out for you, as opposed to micro manage you. We craft each day with enormous care, pacing things for those who value their time yet desire spontaneity.

What’s Included

• Welcoming Hotels – chosen for their heart-felt hospitality, charm, character, great location and quiet surroundings.
  

• Comfort and Pace – we factor in an additional night before the start of each tour, and plan your first day’s activities to start in the early afternoon.
  This allows you to check in, refresh and revive, irrespective of how early in the morning you arrive.
  

• Delicious and Distinctive Meals - with local wines and soft drinks.
  

• Transparent Prices – things are calculated on a shared double room basis, though a single supplement is available, and no surcharges are levied.
  

• No Hidden Extras – virtually everything is included:
  Accommodation, transport, the services of expert guest lecturers and tour leaders, gratuities, admissions and porters.
  All breakfasts, the majority of lunches, and most dinners.
  

• Down Time – to relax and kick off your shoes as well as venture forth independently. And we certainly can help with restaurant recommendations … see why!  

• Special Requests – we’ll do our best to accommodate whatever these are.
