How you travel is as important as where you go.
"I was having pappardelle with my friend in her Tuscan farmhouse…"
Oh, the stories you'll bring home from a Classic Journey. Tell your friends the one about the Moroccan village elder who invited you in for mint tea. Wave your arms to describe how a Costa Rican forest explodes into a cloud of scarlet macaws. Drop a casual little mention of the Italian fisherman who gave you a lift back to Portofino in his boat. Please…you're not bragging. You're reliving the journey of a lifetime.
At Classic Journeys, we travel with sophisticated gusto.
We’re
curious and a little impulsive. (Doesn’t that sound
like you?) We approach a region with total enthusiasm for
its people and culture. We take easy-going walks through
their villages and fields and countryside. We relish the
local cuisine and stay in the region’s finest inns.
We meet and mingle…in their markets, vineyards, piazzas
and homes.
Often, our
guests are more accustomed to traveling on their own. We’re flattered that so many have come back to Classic
Journeys for a second, third or even a fourth trip. They
tell us it’s because our small groups with local guides
accomplish what they always sought in their own private
travels: spontaneity, flexibility and a sense of personal
discovery—minus the logistical hassles. They come
back to experience trips that explore the natural world
or tantalize the senses, like our walking tours in Ireland
and Scotland, our French and Italian Riviera tours, our
cooking tours in Italy. They come back to experience our
unique combination of family travel and overseas adventure
travel.
