Top Culture Trip Adventures Lasting a Week or More
Hit book and burn through your PTO – these global adventures will keep you on holiday time for at least a week.
What would you do with more than a week to explore the world? With zero responsibilities and unlimited memories to make, destinations such as Croatia and Georgia are ready to whisk you through the journey of a lifetime. Imagine gazing at the wonders of ancient Egypt for days at a time or venturing so deep into Costa Rica’s cloud forests that you forget what day it is. If you’ve got the time, we’ve got the place: these are the top Culture Trip adventures lasting a week or more.
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.
Georgia and the Caucasus
Nine days will seem like a drop in the ocean compared to the millennia of history you’ll explore in Georgia. Prepare for a step back in time and a taste of age-old culture, as this trip truly highlights the country’s rich heritage. Relics of yesterday are to be found everywhere as you soak in sulphur baths, hike into the Caucasus Mountains and learn about ancient bread and wine-making in the Kakheti region. The welcoming hospitality of Tbilisi residents and the families of Juta village will show you how Georgians keep their past alive and well.
