1 . Seductive Southern Italy

Get to know the real meaning of la dolce vita on this 10-day beach-hopping journey along Southern Italy’s west and east coasts. We’ll start in Naples, where you’ll chomp down the best pizza of your life, before winding down the Amalfi Coast, stopping in pretty little towns like Positano and Maiori. Then it’s time to crossover to Puglia on the east coast, stopping over at Bond location Matera en route. We’ll visit the rural towns of Alberobello and Locorotondo and e-bike through the Itria Valley, go olive oil tasting and relax on the beaches of Polignano a Mare. Wash it all down with a fine glass of wine, or a bubbly Aperol spritz, as you experience Mediterranean bliss.

2 . Soulful South Korea
South Korea offers the same uniqueness of culture, diversity of landscape and deliciousness of cuisine as its big brother neighbour, Japan, but the beauty of Korea is that you can do it all in 10 days. Our trip starts in Seoul, where a Local Insider will show you the ropes before a night of neon-lit karaoke. You’ll visit the demilitarized zone and glimpse the North Korean border, hike the spectacular forested mountains of Seoraksan National Park, explore Gyeongju by bike and dine in a traditional hanok. You’ll then spend a night at a Buddhist Temple, learning about martial arts and meditation, before we continue to the coastal city of Busan. Explore its famous fish markets and take a cooking class, visit Jeonju to gorge on bibimbap and see a traditional hanok village, and return to Seoul for one more night of karaoke.
