Vantage point of the city of Dubrovnik from cable car

Coastal Croatia

Eight days on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast will make clear that its collection of cities and islands are jewels of the Adriatic. We’ll let Dubrovnik’s stunning limestone-paved streets speak for themselves. As for its northern neighbours, prepare to be wowed all the same. Diocletian’s Palace in Split’s Old Town is as impressive as it is imposing. Hvar’s all-night parties give any lively city a run for its money. Yet perhaps the most stunning sight was not built by man, but nature: the Blue Cave that will light up your eyes with its seductive glow.

A tourist walks towards a pyramid and the Sphinx in Egypt

Ultimate Egypt

The good news is that this relaxed expedition gives you nine days to uncover the bucket-list classics and hidden gems of Egypt. The bad news? You’ll find yourself staring slack-jawed at the Sphinx for hours. Don’t worry, your guide will keep you moving from one jaw-dropping site to the next. One day of wide-eyed pyramid viewing will blend into a day of prowling the Valley of the Kings. You’ll be whisked away again before you can blink – this time to cruise down the Nile, explore Aswan’s mountainside temples and sip cocktails in complete fulfilment.

Man ziplines through canopies of trees in Monteverde cloud forest

The Real Costa Rica

With so much biodiversity in Costa Rica, you’d need an eternity to uncover it all. Rest assured, in nine days you can do more than scratch the surface. Waterfall hikes in La Fortuna and crossings of hanging bridges in Arenal make for a lively start. But ziplining through Monteverde’s cloud forest will really get your heart racing – and give you a new view on wildlife watching. Alternatively, save the sloth spotting for a slow, moonlit hike – and get your surfing fix in Tamarindo, where you’ll glimpse Costa Rica’s coastal life.

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.
