Doi Suthep temple, Chiang Mai
ENHANCED ITINERARY FOR FALL/WINTER 2026
On an engaging journey through four unique Southeast Asian nations, we gain an appreciation for the diversity of this most intriguing region. Exploring Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand, our small group experiences sublime natural beauty, encounters spectacular ruins, and mingles with gracious local people.
Abu Simbel
Accompanied by an expert Egyptian guide, this singular small group journey through antiquity travels from vibrant Cairo and the Great Pyramids to Abu Simbel and the Upper Nile for a fascinating cruise on Lake Nasser. Then: a classic voyage along the Nile from Aswan to Luxor before returning to Cairo.
Floating village of Ganvié, Benin
Embark on a fascinating journey through a region brimming with history, culture, and tradition. As we travel to rural villages and coastal cities, we learn about rich artistic tradition and Voodoo religion, about modern life and the shameful history of the slave trade.
Old City, Cartagena
Colombia warmly welcomes visitors to experience its wealth of indigenous cultures, Spanish Colonial heritage, and Caribbean vibe. The country beckons – and our small group is poised to discover its many jewels, from Bogotá to Medellín to Cartagena, with some hidden gems along the way.
Sydney Opera House in Sydney Harbour
Small group touring and the Lands Down Under – they add up to a perfect combination as we travel from Australia’s sophisticated Sydney, sacred Uluru (Ayers Rock), and the wondrous Great Barrier Reef to New Zealand’s towering Mount Cook and breathtaking Milford Sound, plus Rotorua, Queenstown, and Auckland.
Giraffe and Mt. Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park
“On safari”…it’s one of the most alluring phrases in all of travel. And Kenya and Tanzania count among the most alluring places to be “on safari.” As our small group travels from grasslands to highlands and reserves to national parks, we enjoy intimate game drives, see stupendous landscapes, stay in unique safari lodges, and meet gracious local people.
Arenal Volcano
In this small Central American democracy kissed by nature, our small group discovers a nation’s wealth in four distinct regions, from cloud forest to rainforest and Central Valley to Pacific Coast. As Costa Rica presents its staggering display of biodiversity – pristine landscapes, unique microclimates, exotic flora and fauna – we enjoy a relaxed yet comprehensive exploration that celebrates the country’s wide-ranging natural resources.
Main square of Marrakesh in old Medina. Morocco.
This land of dramatic contrasts invites us to encounter its ancient ruins and sacred mosques, endless desert and storied mountains, imposing kasbahs and spirited souks. As we travel from the imperial cities of Rabat, Fez, and Marrakech to the High Atlas and vast Sahara, we open our eyes, and hearts, to a truly remarkable land, an age-old culture, and genuinely hospitable people.
Land iguana
They rank as two of South America’s greatest treasures, and a small group tour is the natural selection for both: the enigmatic ruins at Machu Picchu, "Lost City of the Incas,” which we explore alongside the Peruvian cities of Lima and historic Cuzco; and the fascinating Galapagos Islands, Darwin’s “living laboratory,” where we enjoy a four-night island-based adventure bookended with stays in the Ecuadorian capital, Quito.
Ha Long Bay
In a land of breathtaking natural beauty, abiding tradition, and profoundly hospitable people, rewards abound for the thoughtful traveler. And in our flexible and congenial small group we encounter rewards aplenty on this comprehensive journey featuring all the highlights: French-accented Hanoi, legendary Ha Long Bay, lively Hoi An, vibrant Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), and more – plus the beautiful and remote Mekong Delta, where we spend two days.
Taj Mahal, Agra
Mystical and spiritual, chaotic and confounding, India overflows with riches. While staying at excellent hotels, we travel the classic Golden Triangle: bustling Delhi; Agra, home of the sublime Taj Mahal; and Jaipur, the "Pink City." We also search for elusive Bengals in Ranthambore, and absorb the holiness of Varanasi.
