Exploring the wonders of the world is all about experiencing the limits of what you thought possible.

Join one of these premium small-group trips and you could be standing in the shadow of titanic pyramids, criss-crossing an abandoned mountain city or exploring an ancient bamboo forest.

Join an island-hopping odyssey in the Cyclades

The only way to beat island-hopping around Greece is to get your first look at the Aegean Sea from the Acropolis. Take in the views of, and beyond, this ancient Greek archaeological complex and marvel at the pentelic marble temples. Drink the night away before setting sail towards Milos, Naxos and Santorini. Pristine beaches, amazing seafood and sunset panoramas may be commonplace in these parts, but they are no less wonderful.

Discover the rugged side of Jordan in Petra

Petra may be one of the more recently recognised wonders of the world, but it’s no less ancient than its counterparts. This nine-day tour will have you feeling like a VIP as you skip the crowds and enter the pink Nabataean city through the Wadi Ghurab mountains. Tip your hat to the coiled stone serpent that guards the 2,000-year-old site; you’ll want good favour on your side as you set up camp for the night at the base of Mount Haron.
