 Classic
Three and four-star hotel based, "soft adventure" trips that concentrate on the culture, history, and natural attributes of our destination. Though these are not "active" trips as such, you should be prepared for full days with some early starts and some walking on uneven surfaces through villages, cities, and archaeological sites.
 Tramp
Trips that are more physical than our Classic series. All walking and hiking trips are included in the category, as well as programs that involve camping or sailing. Accessing more remote areas means that our accommodation may be of a simpler standard or involve camping in some locales.
 Posh
Coming soon... a series of luxury experiences with gorgeous 5-star accommodations and lots of pampering.

 Level 1
No particular physical activity is involved other than town/city walks and short walks to dinners and sites of interest, some of which are large.
 Level 2
These are particularly busy tours that feature a lot of moving around, sometimes by train; short journeys on local transport. Walking tours of towns and cities are leisurely but you should be prepared to be on your feet for several hours. Some of our cultural trips that occur at high altitude and/or require greater independence with baggage handling also fall into this category.
 Level 3
Most weekend hikers should have no trouble with our moderate hikes. Some walking at moderate-to-high elevations and an occasional long day with a pass crossing may be involved. Although no previous experience is required, being physically fit and active are important.

Spontaneity and flexibility are integral aspects of our trips, as are organization and efficient time management. Each of our itineraries is carefully crafted to be as detailed, accurate, and appropriately paced as possible. We also want to allow for special events and experiences that cannot always be planned. A small group can easily venture off the "beaten path" and get around by special means to interesting places that enrich the travel experience. Home visits and local markets provide special insight into the lives of the local people. Good itineraries are, however, always evolving. Thanks to our insightful clients and tireless Tour Leaders, we are constantly revamping existing trips and brainstorming new and exciting touring ideas.
