Our Story & Ethos

With over 20 years of combined experience, all of our trips are thoughtfully created with immersive, unique encounters and private guides that will allow you to delve deeper into the culture that you visit. We pride ourselves on our honest advice and recommendations to ensure you have a journey that is completely tailored to you. 

 

As passionate advocates of responsible tourism, we prioritise supporting local communities by recommending independently run accommodation, small businesses, and cooperatives. Our approach fosters meaningful, respectful interactions with communities, while ensuring that the economic benefits of tourism reach the people who need it most. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do, and we strive to make meaningful, sustainable travel accessible to all, ensuring that each journey leaves a positive impact on both travellers and the places they visit.
