“Exploration and in-depth interpretation are what sets us apart. However, our sophisticated travelers also enjoy the crème de la crème of meals and lodgings.”
The company says in a news release that its trips are an effort to “go far beyond the expectations of guidebooks to delve into the heart and soul of a country.”
A typical trip to Burma, for example, includes a jaunt on a river barge, then a journey by rail, car, horse cart and foot to see pagodas, exotic markets and tribal villages. A land cost of $4,395 includes tour leadership, insurance and accommodations.
