Southern Europe is home to some of the world’s most incredible coastlines, ancient archaeological wonders and vibrant, multi-cultural cities.
Slovenia is like Europe in miniature. With sweet villages, a Riviera-style coastline and its own set of magnificent alps. It is an ideal place to get active and your clients can hike the Julian Alps, kayak the turquoise waters of the Soca River or cycle through lush valleys. They can also ring the bell on the island church of Bled, wishing to return again.
In Italy there journeys that explore the iconic sights such as Vatican City, the Colosseum and Pompeii. Our local team can also create unique experiences such as hiking, biking or kayaking Cinque Terre, wine tasting on the foothills of Mount Etna or taking the family to explore the famous Italian lakes.
Andorra promises more active mountain adventures, in both Summer and Winter, while neighbouring Spain is packed with cultural adventures from border to border. Your travellers can see Gaudi’s architecture in Barcelona, climb to the Moorish Alhambra Palace in Granada, dance the night away in Madrid and dine on an endless supply of tapas in San Sebastian. In neighbouring Portugal it is a world of sea and sensational food. Your clients can take it easy, dining on cuisine that combines African, Mediterranean and Middle-Easter flavours in Porto, or get active and hike the Camino de Santiago pilgrim trail.
In the Balkans – Albania, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia Herzegovina – your clients can step back into time. They can wander through Belgrade’s bohemian quarter, witness locals hurl themselves from Mostar’s 16th century bridge, take a walking tour through Sarajevo’s streets to learn of its recent siege history or learn to make traditional pastries with locals in a Macedonian village.
Whether we create a luxury tour with private transport and five-star accommodation, or a basic adventure with public transport and two-star guesthouses, our local team will ensure your itinerary is full of experience-rich, and sustainably minded activities that reflect your brand and your clients’ interests.
Your clients can beat the heat on the coast off Portovenere with a unique swimming trip. Local fishermen take travellers out to crystal clear waters, away from the crowds, for a sunset, swim and of course, some proseco. The only other people around are the super rich on their super yachts.
A dining experience with a difference, your clients can hunt for the most expensive, edible fungi in the world in Croatia. Strolling through beautiful countryside with an expert they will hopefully locate the delicacies and then learn to prepare them the local way.
Portugal is well known for its culinary treats and this tour takes your clients to sample the best. They’ll sample local olive oil, almonds and honey in the village in Pinhao, and then after a private boat ride down the Douro River, they’ll finish with port tasting at a family run winery.
