With lost cities, rainbow mountains, salt plains and indigenous wildlife, cultural holidays in South America are imbued with a magic all of their own. From the Caribbean Coast of Venezuela to the glacial fjords of Patagonia, South America’s epic canvas combines a riotous mix of culture and outstanding adventure trails. Delve into the ancient cultures of Machu Picchu, watch passionate tango dancers on Argentina’s streets and immerse yourself in the traditions of a local family on a home stay.

Discover the ancient history and indigenous traditions of Peru when you experience the colourful Incan festival, Inti Raymi, also known as the Festival of the Sun. This vibrant event revives the ancient Incan rituals and pays tribute to Inti, the sun god, with its lively processions, traditional dances and age-old ceremonies. Alternatively, go island hopping in the Galapagos Islands, visit the colonial cities of Bolivia or explore the diverse Chilean landscapes.

Tiziano made our Sicilian journey memorable with his wonderful sense of humor, warmth, and impressive knowledge of the island’s history and culture. Personable, approachable, and always cheerful, he brought Sicily to life through his stories and enthusiasm. What made him particularly special was his genuine compassion. When I was unwell during the trip, he showed exceptional kindness, empathy, and concern for my well-being. His thoughtfulness meant a great deal to me. Tiziano is not only a terrific guide but also a truly lovely human being. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

SHIVI SIVA Sicily Grand Tour

Our two weeks in Morocco were truly memorable, with a wonderful mix of history, culture, stunning landscapes, and unique local experiences. From exploring the ancient medinas to riding camels in the Sahara and sharing meals with local families, every part of the journey offered something special. Our tour leader, Hassan, was exceptional. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine care for the group made the experience even better. We also enjoyed the company of our fellow travelers, making new friends and sharing stories along the way. A fantastic way to experience Morocco, and a trip we would highly recommend!
