Don't just travel, Explore! From hold-your-breath experiences, to small and unscripted moments of joy; our small group adventures create stories to tell for a lifetime. Since launching in 1981 with only six tours in a four-page brochure, we’ve grown to offer over 350 trips; from classic ‘discovery’ group tours, solo traveller holidays and active family adventures, to walking holidays and cycling trips. With over 100 countries to choose from, our customers can explore cultures, landscapes, wildlife and communities from Asia to Africa, the Arctic to the Americas. Our itineraries take travellers off the beaten track to fully experience the culture of each destination and we work with local guides who are uniquely placed to add richness and spontaneous moments to every trip. And, as we’re all seasoned travellers ourselves, that experience underpins our responsible travel philosophy. We believe travel should change us, not the world; that communities and cultures should benefit and flourish, and that we should leave nothing but footprints behind. That is why responsible travel is at the core of everything we do.
