SELF-GUIDED TRIPS

Any of our guided itineraries can also be done as self-guided, independent trips. You pick the start date and we’ll do the rest. Through over 20 years of travel, we’ve carefully refined our itineraries to minimize crowds and hassles, while highlighting the authentic flavor of the country and its history.

You’ll explore the major, must-see sights while discovering some hidden gems you might never find otherwise. You get maximum enjoyment and minimum stress.

Each self-guided itinerary includes:

• reservations at charming, small hotels (in your choice of price range)

• a rental car and/or rail transportation

• fun, informative self-guided tours of the major sights

• recommendations for restaurants that offer ambiance, great food, and the best value

• a guidebook designed just for your trip

We can also customize any of our itineraries to perfectly fit your dreams, schedule and budget. Customized trip planning includes everything our normal, self-guided trips include, plus expert advice and answers to specific questions about planning and preparing for your trip.
