Local Immersion

Forget the bus excursions and long lines at underwhelming landmarks. These experiences are hand-crafted to provide the ultimate look into local life, blending iconic spots with off the beaten path adventures that most tourists never have the chance to encounter. From VIP guided museum tours to authentic community visits to our National Geographic® endorsed “Brazil Like a Native”, get ready to go behind the scenes and discover what truly makes a destination tick.

Few experiences are more immersive than those allowing you to truly taste a culture. Food often helps to define a destination. Wine producing countries offer not only delicious chances for pairings but also the incredible landscapes that are essentially a prerequisite for successful harvests. Cross the Andes as you sip reds in Chile and Argentina, embark on street food explorations in Vietnam, learn how champagne is made in France or feast upon an unforgettable tasting menu in South Africa’s Cape Winelands.

Historical journeys can often be the most rewarding as we discover ancient peoples and empires throughout the world. From the Incan contributions found throughout to Peru to Greek ruins throughout Athens and the islands, and from Egyptian pyramids to evidence of earth’s first humans at Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge, allow us to plan your adventure back in time.

Experience the local traditions of different cultures as a local. From Brazil’s iconic Carnival and New Year’s Eve celebrations to the Tapati Festival of Easter Island’s Hanga Roa to India’s most colorful holidays, take part as traditions come alive all over the world.
