Walking trips, cooking tours, family adventure travel

These are the quintessential Classic Journeys. A stimulating blend of easy walking and exposure to local culture and history. Expect an active but casually-paced tempo that offers plenty of opportunity to absorb the environment, sightsee and relax.

Culinary Tours

Sensory heaven for food-lovers. These itineraries include casual cooking instructions in local kitchens…plus visits to markets, vineyards, bakers, cheese-makers and the like. All offer non-cooking options for companions who don't want to spend as much time in the kitchen, as well as walks and visits to sights of historic and scenic interest.

Family Journeys

Fascinating itineraries designed to satisfy the curiosity, energy levels and attention spans of multiple generations. We include activities for the whole family plus chaperoned kids-only events. This is a wonderful way to enjoy the company of other families, celebrate a family milestone or bond with your children or grandchildren.

Prepare for the journey of a lifetime on Classic Journeys' North American and international outdoor adventure travel tours

Often, our guests are more accustomed to traveling on their own. Our small group tours (North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and around the world) with local guides accomplish what you seek in your own private travels. As one of the premier cultural walking tour operators, Classic Journeys offers our guests spontaneity, flexibility and a sense of personal discovery - minus the logistical hassles.

International outdoor adventure travel offers guests the chance to see the world through the eyes of a local, who knows the ins and outs of each region. In France and England, walking tours began with pilgrimages centuries ago, and we often follow scenic footpaths that connect lovely villages. While some walking tour operators like to walk all day or from inn to inn, at Classic Journeys, we prefer to select from a range of walking options and other choices. If you like to fall into the tempo of the places you visit and experience things on your international outdoor adventure travels you never expected, please join us.

Our cultural walking small group tours in North America, Europe, Costa Rica, Peru & Machu Picchu, New Zealand, Asia and North Africa range from 6-10 days and cost from $2295.
