What travelers are saying

"The 13 day trip was packed with exciting destinations from the start. We were able to see architecture from the 7th century, along with palaces, castles and churches from centuries gone by. Our tour director, *************, was incredibly knowledgeable about the areas we visited. He and our driver, Karoly, took us on the best European trip we have had so far. Zermatt and The Matterhorn were my favorites. We would definitely use Trafalgar again and would try to book with Tony and Karoly. Thank you!!"

What travelers are saying

"Trip of a lifetime! We loved Spain & Portugal and saw way more amazing and wonderful places & things than we ever expected. Our Tour Director Toni Aguilar made the entire trip even more special. He was simply terrific and such a decent person. Thank you Toni. Itinerary just fine. Main challenge for us was the unexpected pretty constant go go go rush rush rush. No one’s fault as we now understand how Land Tours truly work hard to have us see as much as possible in limited time frames. Overall, we were very pleased."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

Cultural Tour Selection Trips

  • Cultural tours are all about learning and gaining a deeper understanding. Be respectful and open minded.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Your tour will only be enhanced by the more you engage with locals and your guides.
  • Figure out what type of cultural experience you’re looking for. Are you interested in visiting a small, remote village for an intense, sometimes uncomfortable look at another way of life? Or are you interested in a more relaxed cultural experience, like a food tour in Italy?
