Destinations

Never more than 25 trips a year, and that is deliberate

We keep our calendar small so every departure receives the planning and attention it deserves. Ireland, Scotland, Italy and France: every route is planned around the history, the food and the people it was designed for, and run by our own team from the moment you inquire to the moment you fly home.

How we build a trip

We start with a theme, not a template

Before a trip goes on sale, we decide who it is designed for and the kind of travelers we want to invite, so the experience fits the people on it. Then we build it the right way: the stays, the meals, the guides and the pace. Our trips carry larger budgets than most group tours because each one is designed around a single goal: to be an exceptional experience for everyone who travels with us.

Ireland

6 upcoming trips

Two routes: the Castle Stay and the Adventure Route

Ireland's history sits close to the surface. You find it at the Rock of Cashel, in a song that starts up in a pub without anyone announcing it, and across the dinner table at Springfield Castle, where we stay three nights in a house that is still a family home.

Scotland

6 upcoming trips

Edinburgh, Loch Lomond and a Borders estate

Scotland's story is written in its clans, its borders, and castles that were built to be lived in as much as defended. We pair the closes and wynds of Edinburgh's Old Town with the open water of Loch Lomond, then settle in at Duns Castle, a private estate in the Scottish Borders.

Italy

10 upcoming trips

One country, three very different routes

Italy is really many regions that happen to share a language. On the Amalfi Coast, the day is shaped by the sea and a long lunch. By train through Rome, Florence and Venice, you see how each city's art, food and civic pride grew up differently. We run three routes, and we will help you choose.

Paris

17 upcoming trips

Paris beyond the postcard, with a day in Brussels

The Eiffel Tower is worth the visit, but Paris is lived in its neighborhoods: the morning market, the corner café, the bakery with a line out the door. We leave room for both, add a day in Brussels for a change of pace, and in December our Christmas markets trips bring the lights and the vin chaud.
