Europe
Ask anyone who has completed the week-long circuit of Mont Blanc and they’ll tell you they’ve seen scenery the equal of any Himalayan or Andean kingdom. Speak to someone who has walked Pyrenean highlands and be prepared to hear about windswept high passes leading to remote, unpopulated valleys strewn with wildflowers.
Europe has a wild heart of rugged mountains, but this is also a continent that excels at gentle pleasures, be it a cycle between timeless Provencal villages, a walk along cliff-top trails to the cubist villages of the Amalfi Coast, or an exploration of the table, sampling Italy’s or Spain’s many gastronomic highlights.
And don’t forget Europe’s new stars. Whether you’re soaking in Budapest’s baths, walking Dubrovnik’s walls, or drinking in Krakow’s cafe culture, Eastern Europe offers travellers a whole dimension to the continent, its history, architecture and culture strikingly different and a wonderful contrast to ‘old’ Europe.

Magical Tuscany & the Portofino Peninsula

Be open to experiencing another culture so you don't expect things to be like "at home." Make the most of the other people on the tour and their experiences.

"We had a great trip. The group size was ideal, the itinerary was excellent. The tour leader was outstanding and his choice and suggestions for eating places could not have been better. A trip we would be happy to recommend to anyone."
