Cooking Holidays and Food Experiences

On our Private trips, we give you the flexibility and choice to do things just the way you want, all alongside the great service we’re famous for.

Whether you’re travelling solo, with a partner, family, extended family or as group of friends, you can choose from our range of curated private itineraries, and pick the standard of accommodation to suit your style and budget. Our Private trips are designed for your needs and you don't have to join other travellers like you would on a group tour.

On our Handpicked range we bring you the most iconic experiences in destinations where you’ll join travellers from other travel brands on your tour, safari or sailing holiday. Collaborating with our carefully handpicked portfolio of local partners, these holidays represent exceptional value and there’ll be plenty of cultural experiences shared with other like-minded travellers.

Group sizes and accommodation standards vary by destination where typical group size is 28 travellers and hotels, boats and safari lodges are of a 3-4 star standard.

Our Signature group tours place local interaction and authenticity at the heart of your travel experience.

For our Signature range, we maximize your days with excitement and then bring you home to specially selected accommodation with extra character, convenience and comfort, whether that's a five-star river boat on the Nile or a traditional Japanese Ryokan. Accommodation in this range features comfortable western standards, air-conditioning, WiFi and, where appropriate, a swimming pool.

On a Signature holiday, you’ll be escorted throughout your trip by our qualified English-speaking local guides who’ll show you all the must-see attractions and even the lesser-known sights.

To further add to that special touch, the group sizes in our Signature range are mid-sized: small enough to be intimate, but large enough that you can bond with new friends over common interests.
