Excursions will be expertly guided by local specialists and well located and superior hotels, or best available, will await you at all your destinations. A selection of our escorted tours are special interest based and will explore themes such as music, history, culture or gastronomy. To further enhance your trip you may be joined by a specialist in the theme of your tour who will complement your local guides with a series of informal talks or lectures. Whether you choose to join one of our journeys by private plane or train or spend a week in a carefully selected property, our escorted land based tours are planned to achieve the most comfortable, convenient and interesting journey.
