Reason 7.Last but not least
Our vacations are for people who “daydream” about opening locked doors to a brand new palette of refined flavours and new skills and knowledge. Our escorted tours include a combination of visiting must see attractions, a variety of local highlights and a relaxing flexible schedule. We believe in slow travel .
What is slow travel ?
One of the defining elements of slow travel is the opportunity to become part of local life and to connect to a place and its people.
Slow travel is also about connection to culture. It is an evolving movement that has taken its inspiration from nineteenth-century European travel writers such as Theophile Gautier, who reacted against the cult of speed.
Slow travel, is a state of mind which allows travelers to engage more fully with communities along their route, often favouring visits to spots enjoyed by local residents rather than merely following guidebooks. As such, slow travel shares some common values with ecotourism.
About “Small” group tours
Our small group style of travel means that just 10-12 guests participate in our tours. Tours not only designed by us, but tours in which we also participate with you. We believe that personal attention is Key to an outstanding experience. The small group travel experience means a lot to us.Our philosophy is to experience a country as a local, and our goal is not only to show you the country’s highlights but also to take you off the beaten track . To visit local homes and artisans, restaurants run by families, stay at small luxury settlements, and participate in creative activities, from wine tasting and cooking classes to pottery and painting lessons.
And we believe that only in Small numbers, one can mingle and learn and share. But above all we believe that travelling is something much “bigger” than visiting a place. It’s a journey to our inner self. A traveler doesn’t capture sights, but feelings. You are there, with the curiosity of a child , to “suck ” every image, sound, taste,smell and feeling as you are perceiving it for the first time, and meet like minded companions to share the experience with.
like minded companions to share the experience with.
Only in small groups one can go out of the tourist beaten track and “get lost ” in villages, between people and unspoiled landscapes. Participating in our small group tours, gives you the freedom, flexibility and camaraderie that only small groups engender. Travelling in smaller groups is much more mindful of the environment and the impact we leave.We support ecotourism , not only towards the environment but also towards the locals in an area. We try to use local services where possible , just to keep the money local. In all our tours we use local knowledgeable friends as guides and professional drivers. Travelling with us in small groups is a unique experience and the rewards are priceless.
