Tailormade Holidays and Special Events
The active gourmet travel is not a regular travel agent selling standardised tourist packages; we’re expert travel designers and travel coordinators so, as well as offering a range of escorted tours each year, we tailormake trips to suit you, the independent traveller.
Our bespoke holidays are perfect for:
-
child-friendly journeys
-
re-charging after a business trip
-
exploring a country of your choice.
​
We ensure you make the best use of your time so you can experience
the real countryside, not just skim over the surface. Some places in your detailed itinerary are well off the beaten track – locals are often amazed at the extent of our knowledge of their areas!

Quality accommodation and villa rental
Where you stay will echo the traditions of the region and ensure that you
savour delicious regional food and wine.
Whether you're renting an apartment in Paris or a villa in Tuscany,
self-catering accommodation is surprisingly affordable.
Live like the locals – explore the lively markets and attempt regional
specialties in your very own kitchen. We ferret out the best rental deals!
Detailed itineraries
To help you to optimise your well-earned rest, our personalised
itineraries are so much more than a list of bookings and dates.
For example, we take into account opening hours, market days,
national holidays, local customs and expectations, etc.
The inclusions are based on your interests and, obviously, you adapt
our suggestions to suit your mood, energy levels and weather conditions.
Excellent value for money
Your travel package will be fully paid in your own currency before you leave home.
Your car rental, train bookings, venue tickets, accommodation, and even some meals, are combined into a personalised travel package that can be pre-paid. Your total package outlay varies according to the number of people travelling, length of the journey and the complexity of your itinerary, but you can always get excellent value for money.
For cyclists, walkers, golfers, fishermen...
Our detailed itineraries provide options to include your favoured activities – if you're interested you'll be loaned large-scale maps before setting off. If you want to do additional exploring you can adjust the pace to your own level. See a sample itinerary here.
