What’s better than travelling the world with your closest kin? Keep it in the family when you book one of these private Culture Trips.

There’s plenty of pros for going private. Obviously it means you can keep the guest-list locked down, so you can enjoy memory-making travel experience with only the ones you love most. It also allows for far greater flexibility on travel dates, group sizes (minimum of 4) and even age requirements – our small-group trips have a minimum age of 25, but go private and younger members of the clan can join too!

Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands by Train

There really is something for everyone on this week-long Rail Trip across the most scenic stretches of Scotland’s rugged countryside. Dad can live his best booze-nerd life at an iconic whisky distillery in Fort William, Mum can explore the art and culture of Inverness and Edinburgh, while the siblings can relive (or live) their childhood fantasies by riding the Jacobite steam train – AKA the real-life Hogwarts Express. In fact, does anything scream family holiday more than a scenic train ride? You’ll get several on this tour, including the thrilling overnight sleeper from London. Destinations on your route include the Isle of Skye, Cairngorms National Park and the charming fishing village of Mallaig.

Seductive Southern Italy

Has your family always gone on summer retreats to the Mediterranean? Well, allow us to help you take it up a notch with this dreamy 10-day adventure across the west and east coasts of Southern Italy. If there’s one dish that unites every family it’s pizza, and you’ll have the best slice of your life on a street food tour of Naples, before the whole gang embarks on a scenic road trip along the Amalfi Coast. Chill on the beach, take a boat cruise and check-out the region’s charming coastal towns before we head east. We’ll stop off inland at Matera – the striking hilltown seen in No Time to Die (2021) and Alberobello, home to adorable trulli huts. In Puglia we’ll e-bike through the Itria Valley, discover the Florence of the south and chill on the pristine beaches of Polignano a Mare – plenty of opportunities to get a new wall-worthy group photo of the whole fam.

Greek Island Odyssey

Was your childhood a constant battle between culture vultures and coastal dwellers? Half of the family want to immerse themselves in local history, the other half want beach days and boat trips? Well, our island-hopping extravaganza in Greece offers your family a bit of both. We start in Athens, where the cultural types can explore the Acropolis in awe. Then it’s off to the Cyclades, starting with the lovely little island of Milos for beach visits and a boat cruise. Next up is Naxos, where foodies will delight at an authentic cooking class in a local family’s home. Our final destination? Santorini, where the whole family can reflect on the ultimate Greek adventure, as the glorious sunset gently glows onto the island’s glorious whitewashed buildings.
