Journeys built around the world's great historic sites, from the temples of Luxor and Angkor to Samarkand's Registan and the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. Each route is paced for understanding, with specialist local guides, timed entry booked ahead and stays in historic quarters where they exist.
Inca Trail permits, Machu Picchu entry and Vatican early-entry slots sell out months ahead; we book them as soon as you confirm.
The great historic sites reward time, context and good timing.
Routes are built around inscribed sites, with time for the museums and old towns that explain them.
Riads, palazzos, cave hotels and old-town boutiques, wherever a destination has them.
Licensed local guides chosen for each site, including Egyptologist guides in Egypt.
Early starts, quieter hours and the right season, so you see the sites rather than the crowds.

Licensed local guides chosen for each site and briefed on your interests. In Egypt that means a qualified Egyptologist guide; at Angkor and on the Inca Trail, guides licensed for those sites. If you would like a more academic guide, we look for one on request, subject to availability.
Only where a site sells it, such as early-entry and evening openings at the Vatican Museums or the extra tickets for some tombs in Luxor's Valley of the Kings. We never promise access to closed areas; anything special is confirmed in writing before you pay.
No. Each itinerary is designed as a private journey for your own party and is adjusted to your dates, pace and interests.
Three to six months ahead for most routes. For the Inca Trail between May and August, book six months or more ahead, as permits sell out; the trail also closes every February for maintenance.
Most involve moderate walking over uneven ground, stairs and heat. The Inca Trail is a multi-day trek at altitude and needs good fitness; the Peru itinerary reaches Machu Picchu by train instead. We adjust any route for mobility needs.
We choose historic properties with modern comforts such as air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms, and tell you plainly where a characterful stay means smaller rooms or stairs.
