SLOW DOWN TO SEE THE WORLD??
Biking Trips
Slowing down to see the world doesn’t mean rushing from one
place to the next, it means flexibility. It means stopping to
smell the roses – or tasting the wine, browsing the markets,
chatting with the locals, absorbing the views and checking out
the sites.
You choose which of our custom-designed bikes you’d prefer to
ride. You choose your pace – dig deep and power forth or cruise
along carefree (either way, the support van is never far off).
Walking Trips
Slow down to see the world has been our guiding philosophy for
40 years, so exploring à pied, as the French say, comes
quite naturally to us. On foot you have the chance to savour the
minutiae – follow our detailed route suggestions or wander off,
lost in conversation with a local farmer; take a few extra
moments to explore the castle that lies just around the bend; or
relax, cappuccino in hand, at a local café.
We’ve worked hard to develop routes for everyone, from serious
hikers to Sunday strollers, so you’re free to make your way at
your own pace – whether that means one cobblestone or one
mountain pass at a time
Some of the most glorious places on earth can only be
accessed by sea. Worth a visit for their jaw-dropping scenery
alone, our small ships take you away to these fabled coastlines
and islands. Each day offers opportunities to explore seaside
cliffs, secluded beaches or villages that seem untouched by time
or tourists.
By Sea
Sounds good, but I'm not the cruise type
Neither are we. That's why we use small ships that top out at
about 30 passengers. Sleek and agile, they can slip into tiny
ports, anchor off a tawny beach, or turn around on a dime.
They'll take you to places well beyond the reach of the
leviathan cruise lines. Want to pause for a dip off the back of
the boat? Tag along with a pod of whales? Go ahead. Think of it
as your own private yacht
