Look for a well-established leader in experiential travel to offer you a taste of what it’s like to be a local and then some–whether it’s cooking courses in a Tuscan villa or bathing in a Thailand shrine with elephants.

“We immerse our visitors in the culture and customs of a region at Blue-Roads Touring Company,” says Ed Pettitt, General Manager.

Share in the High Tea tradition and ceremony. Culinary experiences take you together and foster cross-cultural comprehension.

An itinerary that is personally fulfilled raises your precious time off. Your personal space and moment of discovery are key to that. Seek the target specialist who strikes a balance between structured and downtime operations.
