About Us
Every Great Journey Starts With A Conversation...
You know the movie scene: our intrepid hero, about to set off on a hazardous journey, seeks some vital information that will see him through. Like Hans Solo he goes to a bar, or down a dark alley – in search of that discrete contact, that ‘trusted source’, that wily old salt...
So it is with our important journeys. Everything we have learned since 1992 – including feedback from 12,000 discerning travelers – suggests talking to someone with local knowledge, who understands the magic you seek, is the key to creating your best vacation.
So unlike other travel companies we are not big on online booking. Instead, we believe the right approach is first, to specialize – don't try to be all things to all people – be independent experts. Next, build technology to cut costs and make customization easy – but keep it behind the scenes. Third, encourage people to talk to us.
Every great journey starts with a conversation – and sometimes that conversation changes all your plans... and maybe even your life.
