Top 5 Ideas On What To Do When Traveling
Travel isn’t just about checking off destinations - it’s about how you experience them. Whether you’re exploring a quiet European village or a dramatic wine valley in South Africa, it’s the way you travel that creates lasting memories.
Here are 5 unique and elevated ideas that turn any trip into an extraordinary story. If you're ready to go beyond the expected, these handpicked experiences are your invitation to travel deeper, slower, and more luxuriously.
1. Discover a destination on horseback
There’s something timeless and intimate about discovering a landscape on horseback. It’s a slower pace, a closer connection to the land, and a different kind of magic.
Whether you’re riding through the vineyards of Cape Town with a private wine picnic or galloping along the beaches of Formentera at sunset, horseback experiences offer a romantic and adventurous way to see the world. It’s not just a tour—it’s a moment suspended in time.
2. Cook with locals - and taste tradition
Food is the heart of a culture. One of the most immersive ways to understand a place is to cook a traditional meal with someone who’s lived it.
In Tuscany, that might mean a truffle hunt followed by a hands-on cooking class in the countryside. In Georgia, it could be making khinkali (dumplings) and baking bread after a winery tour in Sighnaghi. These culinary experiences are more than meals - they're soulful exchanges and unforgettable stories to take home.
3. Get on the water - privately
Nothing says freedom quite like being on the water. Whether it’s a tranquil river or the open sea, water has a way of making travel feel luxurious and liberating.
We recommend a private boat ride through Portugal’s Douro Valley, where the vineyards spill into the riverbanks and you can sip wine as the landscape unfolds around you. No crowds, no noise—just you, the view, and a glass of something exquisite.
4. Listen to live music in a remarkable setting
Sometimes, a single moment can define a trip. A live concert in a breathtaking venue - be it a centuries-old church, a rooftop in Vienna, or a hidden courtyard - can be that moment.
Our classical concert experiences are designed for travelers who crave elegance and emotion. Perfect for a romantic evening or a solo night of reflection, these performances combine art, history, and atmosphere in a way that’s hard to forget.
5. Take a guided walk through local history
To really understand a place, walk through its streets with someone who knows its secrets. Guided walking tours offer the perfect blend of education, storytelling, and discovery.
In the Basque Country, our private journeys blend history, scenery, and local insight, bringing the past to life while showing you hidden corners of culture and cuisine. In Sighnaghi, Georgia, your stroll ends with wine, food, and heartfelt hospitality—because here, stories always end at the table.
At the heart of every unforgettable trip is an experience that touches something deeper, whether it’s the joy of learning something new, the thrill of a unique setting, or the quiet of a beautiful view shared with someone you love.
Let us help you create those moments, wherever you're going next.
