What to Expect on Our Epic Trips
Our exciting itineraries dive deep into a destination’s culture, immersing you in the community and giving you a unique perspective most tourists don’t get.
Ready for adventure? You’ve come to the right place. Culture Trip has launched an
inspiring selection of small-group adventures for all types of travellers – the courageous, the curious, and everyone in between. If you’re the intrepid type, you’ll love our more out-there itineraries – join one and you’ll do a lot more than see the top attractions. You’ll be with like-minded travellers who are passionate about exploring new places and cultures – plus a Local Insider to give you the lowdown.
Our discovery-focused trips are carefully curated to lift the lid on local culture, and designed with light or moderate physical activities woven into the journey, such as hiking, kayaking, rafting or cycling. Our selection below will immerse you in a new land with a friendly group – and you won’t have to take the trail at a high-intensity pace.
1 . Uncover history through wine in rural Georgia
Uncork ancient wine-making and baking traditions as you travel around rural Georgia, the cradle of woozy vinous pleasures (its history of wine production goes back 8,000 years). You’ll discover a taste for the Tbilisi of yesterday as you explore the capital’s Old Quarter – its fourth-century fortress, dreamy sulphur baths and colourful farmers market. With full bellies, you’ll earn a refill of wine as you hike into the Caucasus Mountains and through Lagodekhi National Park. With cheeks as red as the drink and the wild Georgian country before you, it’ll be difficult not to fall in love with this romantic land.

2 . Embark on a jungle safari adventure in Costa Rica
Journey from sea level up into cloud forest, stopping along the way to marvel at Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity. You’ll learn the definition of pura vida first-hand while spotting sloths on moonlit hikes and tasting coffee at the base of Arenal volcano. Surf lessons and yoga sessions in Tamarindo are fantastic complements to soaks in the Termales hot springs and whitewater rafting down the Balsa River. If you ever feel a set of eyes watching you wander, look up to the treeline and you may spot a family of capuchin monkeys smiling from above.

The ancient pyramids of Egypt have captivated the world for millennia; now it’s your turn to witness these astonishing architectural achievements in person. Culture Trip’s ultimate Egypt experience awaits: an unforgettable voyage following the fortunes and fates of the imperious pharaohs. Viewing the Giza Pyramids, the Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings is only the start of your great adventure – this educational and exciting tour will have you kayaking down the Nile, exploring Cairo’s chaotic bazaar quarters, and toasting the animal-headed gods from a traditional sailboat, or felucca.

4 . See 1,000-year-old temples and fresh wildlife together in Sri Lanka
Island time takes on a different meaning in Sri Lanka, where 1,000-year-old temples and days-old wildlife coexist as if the clocks were eternally stopped. The past, present and future feel one and the same as you climb the ancient Sigiriya fortress, take a slow ride on the Nanuoya railway, and spy leopards and elephants snoozing in the wild. Ultimately you’ll realise that every moment spent in Sri Lanka is timelessly special.
