The Most Authentic Travel Experiences
Discover authentic ways of living and being on these thoughtful trips around the world.
What constitutes an authentic travel experience? Effectively, it’s a trip you return from with an in-depth understanding of the destination. If you’re looking for authentic travel experiences, you’ll likely want to experience local lifestyles, customs and culture. Our carefully curated trips, led by Local Insiders, will reveal meaningful monuments, heart-stoppingly beautiful scenery, centuries-old recipes and deep-seated traditions.
Riches and Ruins: Wine, Dine and Step Back in Time in Rural Georgia
This nine-day trip will continually immerse you in unique elements of Georgian life, from the Old Quarter in Tbilisi to the High Caucasus Mountains. You’ll mingle with locals in the farmers’ market as you buy spices to create feasts in a local chef’s home. Snap photogenic Unesco-listed monuments before breaking bread at a family meal. Taste the traditional wine as you see it made, staying steady enough to hike in Lagodekhi National Park, a protected wildlife reserve. Your walk to remote villages will be rewarded with a local wellness tradition – a steamy, therapeutic sulphur bath, followed by an exfoliation and a massage.

Pulsating Cities and Majestic Mountains: the Soul of South Korea
How many people can say they’ve explored the tunnels of the Korean Demilitarized Zone or practised martial arts in a Buddhist temple? Or seen Squid Game locations in real life in open-all-hours Seoul, for that matter? On our 10-day exploration of South Korea, you’ll hike and cycle around treasured temples and tombs. Hungry? Nothing says authentic travel like local cuisine, so you’ll cook like the Koreans and witness the etiquette of a traditional tea ceremony. Visit the largest seafood market in the country, Jagalchi Market, then tuck into your chosen catch of the day.

Arabian Nights: the Complete Morocco Experience
Travel doesn’t come much more authentic than stargazing with an expert astrologer in the Sahara. Our 13-day whirl through Morocco will peel back the layers of this alluring country, from camel riding in the desert to seeking out the spices and smells in the medinas in Fez and Marrakech. The architecture in Casablanca will charm you, as will walks along lesser-known trails in the Atlas Mountains. Fancy some sea air? Haggle in the Old Kasbah in coastal Tangier before soaking up that North African sun from the terrace of your hilltop hotel.
