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

For many travelers, 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.
