We've been taking small groups on adventure holidays for almost 40 years. Today, we offer over 600 trips, from classic ‘discovery’ group tours, solo traveller holidays, active family adventures, walking holidays, cycling trips and even self-guided options. Choose from over 130 countries and explore cultures, landscapes, wildlife and communities from Asia to Africa, the Arctic to the Americas.

We understand you want to see the defining sights of a country; but we also know that it’s authentic travel experiences that really matter. We create itineraries that will take you 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.

We know that where you rest your head is every bit as important as where you travel during the day, so we carefully select accommodation to balance comfort with location. That generally means you’ll stay in three-star accommodation with en suite facilities – you’ll only sleep in a tent, if it’s the best way to see the stars. Look out for details on our trip pages which explain the accommodation grade of each trip.

We understand that for some, a fully-packed itinerary is the best way to experience a country – for others, some downtime to explore on your own is just as important. We cater for both ends of the spectrum and explain the pace of holidays on each trip page
