Get under the skin of a place and pick up a skill – whether that’s dancing in Sicily or cooking in Georgia – on one of these Culture Trip small-group tours.
The best trips are so much more than a holiday. Venture away from the pool to experience different cultures and discover a destination like a local, and you will not regret it. From family-run restaurants off the tourist trail to historical monuments only locals know, these carefully curated Culture Trip adventures allow you to experience culture in the world’s most unforgettable destinations.
Getting stuck into a cooking lesson in rural Georgia
From the very first day exploring Old Tbilisi’s fourth-century Narikala Fortress, this cultural trip will take you back in time in the place many believe is the Land of the Golden Fleece. Your local experience will include a cooking lesson in a chef’s home, a trip to remote Juta village and a visit to the Kakheti region, where wine has been made since 6000BCE in clay vessels buried underground.
Taking part in a Balinese blessing ceremony in Tabanan, Bali
It might be famous for its beautiful beaches, but Bali is also renowned for its welcoming, spiritual people. This cultural trip will introduce you to their way of life, so you can truly experience a new culture, from placing an offering at Batukaru Temple to taking part in a traditional Balinese blessing ceremony. You’ll also attend a cooking class and spend time in Ubud, with its thriving arts, crafts and dance scene.
