Senior Travel Writer

Crank up the jams, wind the window down and get ready to rock – these epic road trips are just one step away.

Ready for an epic road trip? We’re not talking about a joyride to the next town over; you’ve got countries to cover overland. Cruise through Southern Italy, waving to the Vespa riders passing by. Gaze in awe at rocky cliffs from the coastal routes of rural Ireland. Take the scenic route through Iceland’s Golden Circle, gaping in awe of the natural wonders that inspired The Lord of the Rings. If you’ve got the snacks, we’ve got the map. These top Culture Trips are revved up for an epic road trip.

Wind along the Amalfi Coast and across to Puglia – Seductive Southern Italy

Some people simply cruise around the Amalfi Coast and call it a day – but you’re someone who likes to kick it into high gear. Extend your Italian adventure with this 10-day tankful of fun from Naples to Lecce. You’ll venture all the way to Puglia, pulling over to taste olive oil, visit the Castellana Caves and take an e-bike through the Itria Valley. There will be plenty of fuel stops, although you won’t be eating jerky and soda; the street food in Naples, limoncello in Positano and seafood in Polignano a Mare will keep you moving forward.

Make the journey from Istanbul to Antalya – Majestic Turkey

We hope you’ll forgive us: this exciting 12-day tour of Turkey has a flexible definition of the phrase “road trip”. Don’t get us wrong: this overland journey across Turkey’s historical sites will take you from Istanbul in Europe to Antalya in Asia. You’ll head off-road as well, but not in the way you think. Between hiking through the Kaymaki Underground City and taking a hot-air balloon ride above Cappadocia’s surreal rock formations, you’ll never view road trips the same again.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
