Twelve days in Bali with your best friends, swimming in waterfalls, climbing mountains and chilling on tropical beaches – it’s the stuff of dreams, right? Well stop dreaming and make it a reality. Our itinerary is the perfect way to make the most out of this paradise island’s unique culture and gorgeous natural landscapes.

People riding on camels through the Sahara desert in Merzouga, Morocco

Epic Morocco

Morocco is as diverse as destinations get, meaning there’ll be something for every member of your friend group across our comprehensive 11-day tour of this North African gem. City breakers will be buzzing to explore the striking highlights of Casablanca and the old-world charm of Fes, while those who love to discover something new will fall in love with the quirky blue streets of Chefchaouen. Hikers will adore our time spent in the Atlas Mountains, visiting rural Berber villages and traversing epic rocky gorges. Then there are the real intrepid types, who love to rough it out a little, which is exactly what we’ll do at a desert campsite in the Sahara, where you’ll gather around the campfire for wine tasting and stargazing, before an early sunrise camel ride the following day. The foodie in the group, meanwhile, will save the best until last as we finally reach Marrakech, where a stunning street food tour and authentic Moroccan cooking class awaits.

Complete Portugal by Train

There’s something special about a gentle, scenic train journey spent shooting the breeze with your best buddies. That’s the inspiration behind our Rail Trips, which includes this magical eight-day tour of Portugal, which truly captures the laid-back essence of southern Europe. We start in Porto, where the gang can gather around a table to sample sweet Port wine after a day spent exploring one of Europe’s coolest cities. Next up is the spectacular Douro Valley, for more wine tasting and a boat ride, followed by one of the most scenic train rides in the world. Discover Portugal’s answer to Venice – Aveiro – as we explore its colourful streets, sweet treats and traditional boats, before taking another gorgeous train journey to Lisbon. In the capital we’ll gorge on pastel de nata and experience a live Fado music show, as well as taking a day trip to the fairytale town of Sintra. Lisbon also boasts one of the greatest club scenes in all of Europe, so you and your besties can end the trip in memory-making (or memory-forgetting?) style.
