We live la dolce vita
in every language.
Copenhagen to Québec, Cusco
to Siena, we believe in being absolutely self-indulgent
when we travel. The creature comforts—from unforgettable
lodgings to meals we can still describe course-by-course
years after we've eaten them—are essential parts of
every Classic Journey.
All accommodations are first-class.
Show us a Spanish fortress-turned-parador with cannonball dents in its walls, and we'll show you a Classic Journeys inn. We choose all accommodations for the way they reflect the style and hospitality of the region. Often, each room is unique—after all it's hard to create cookie-cutter rooms in converted abbeys, Mediterranean villas and rain forest lodges. And you can be sure if there's a hotel in the heart of a nature preserve, across the park from the Alhambra or clinging to the cliffs of Santorini, we'll find it. All rooms include private baths. As often as possible, we spend two or more nights in each location so you can settle in a bit.
It's true…we're "foodies."
We believe in eating the local specialties in fine typical
restaurants. If we start telling you about that pique-nique in Provence…the way the Austrian wine tasted on the
patio overlooking the Danube…the little peas that
looked like emeralds in the Venetian risotto…we'll
never stop. Suffice it to say that all breakfasts and most
dinners are included in the tour price. In many European
restaurants, chefs make an extra trip to the market to prepare
special meals just for us. Lunches are also included on
many days. For picnics, we stop at local markets or bakeries
for supplies.
