Couples holidays

Explore the cobbled streets of medieval towns, sample the culinary delights of a local market, chase the Northern lights or indulge in a little romance on an idyllic Mediterranean island. Europe has such a diversity of experiences to enjoy, with historic cities, vibrant cultures and rural retreats; you could spend a lifetime travelling here and still only scratch the surface.

Plan an adventure that would make a wildlife documentary-maker envious, following a pack of African wild dogs on safari, getting up close to polar bears in Canada or trekking through the Costa Rican rainforest in search of sloths. Your wildlife encounters needn’t be limited to dry land, either; watch orcas off Vancouver Island, dive in the Maldives and snorkel with whale sharks in Tanzania.

You might want a relaxing holiday, yet don’t fancy all your time on the beach, so we can arrange a plethora of tailor-made journeys which combine a tad of adventure with some quality time to sit back and relax on the beach. This might mean a gentle meander down the coast in Sri Lanka, a safari before hitting the beaches of Mozambique or a gentle journey through the tropical heartland of Bali befor

Getting off-the-beaten track and into the great outdoors is a deeply rewarding experience for those with an adventurous spirit. Whether you want a dash of adventure within a longer itinerary, or something more extensive, we will tailor an itinerary with exactly the right amount of activity.

Without history, everything is just scenery. To explore and understand the sites and monuments of history’s greatest civilisations is to supply you with the narrative, and turns the scenery into an engaging story. From remote sites of antiquity, imposing mediaeval towns and castles to exploring age-old communities unchanged by time, we can arrange tailor-made historical and cultural holidays.

We wholeheartedly believe that when you travel, you should travel with knowledge of the impact you are making on the world around you. There are countless pioneers of sustainable tourism who we work with closely, from out of the way eco-camps supporting local communities to luxury hotels who have invented new ways to minimise their carbon footprint.

Perhaps you’ve always longed to travel to Antarctica, or you want to spend a sabbatical exploring Asia. Maybe your lifelong dream is to spend a month combining safari, trekking and culture in Africa, or to fly around the world stopping off at the pyramids, Machu Picchu and Angkor Wat. Whatever your plans, this is no ordinary holiday and we’re here to transform it from a dream into reality.

For many travellers, indulging in a country’s cuisine is a real draw to a destination, from a rustic Tuscan pasta dish to a plate of delicate sashimi in Japan. We can make this culinary journey a real focus on your trip, arranging private cookery classes with a top chef, or a private picnic beside a quiet river, or a guided visit to a produce market where only the locals go.
