Holiday Type / Luxury Travel: All-time Favourites 2017 - Touring Destinations

There are few better ways to truly discover what some of the most fascinating areas of the world have to offer than a touring holiday. Crafted from astounding local knowledge, these are what I feel are our top itineraries which will deliver some of the most awe-inspiring experiences. Fully immerse yourself in the culture, colour and nature of a destination; discover iconic landmarks, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Seven Wonders of the World. A local guide will help you see the country from the perspective of a native; I love to go off the beaten track and uncover places you wouldn't be able to find with a travel book. It's almost impossible not to develop a close bond with your guide; they take time to learn about you and use their expertise to take you to the places they know you'll appreciate the most. Touring holidays will always hold a close place to my heart, my last trip to India being particularly special as this is where my husband proposed.
