Overview

Classic Journeys offers award-winning Cultural Walking Adventures, Culinary Tours and Family Journeys in 60 regions worldwide including Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, North Africa and the South Pacific.

Travel with sophisticated gusto.
Classic Journeys approaches every region visited with total enthusiasm for its people and culture. They take easy-going walks through villages and countryside, relishing the local cuisine and staying in the region’s finest inns. Travelers meet and mingle…in markets, vineyards, piazzas and private homes.

Why go exploring with Classic Journeys?
Small groups with local guides allow Classic Journeys to craft itineraries full of the things they like to do when they travel on their own. On a Classic Journey, you experience spontaneity, flexibility and a sense of personal discovery — minus the logistical hassles. Check into the most intimate and interesting inns and eat in local restaurants that don’t cater to tourists. Classic Journeys’ guides are able to arrange private invitations into homes, workshops or archaeological sites — places you couldn’t get into on your own or as a member of a larger group.

Travel in Memorable Style

  • Small groups… An average of just ten people per departure.
  • Outstanding local guides…You get a resident’s view of life.
  • Easy-going walks… Enjoy two to four hours daily with a minivan in close support.
  • Non-walking activities… Choose options that complement the walks and immerse you in the history and culture of the region.
  • Exceptional comfort… Stay at Classic Journeys’ favorite inns and lodges chosen for their historic pasts, spectacular settings, gracious hospitality and fine cuisine.


  • How you travel is as important as where you go.

    Cultural Walking Adventures
    These are a stimulating blend of easy walking and exposure to local culture and history. Expect an active but casually paced tempo that offers plenty of opportunity to absorb the environment, sightsee, and relax.

    Family Journeys
    Fascinating itineraries designed to satisfy the curiosity, energy levels and attention spans of multiple generations. Classic Journeys includes activities for the whole family, plus chaperoned kids-only events. This is a wonderful way to enjoy the company of other families, celebrate a family milestone or bond with your children or grandchildren.

    Culinary Tours
    Sensory heaven for food-lovers. These itineraries include casual cooking instructions in local kitchens… plus visits to markets, vineyards, bakers, cheese makers and the like. All offer non-cooking options for companions who don’t want to spend time in the kitchen, as well as walks and visits to sights of historic and scenic interest.
