They say travelling only really begins when you immerse yourself in a different culture – and we couldn’t agree more. Interactions with local people, wandering through heady market stalls and admiring majestic temples or sites of deep historical significance, not only allow you to uncover a destination’s culture, but they give you the opportunity to understand and appreciate the unique customs and traditions while travelling through. We’ve hand-picked a couple of our favourite cultural trips and are thrilled to introduce our Cultural Discovery Collection, which covers a range of adventures that are designed to take you to the heart of each destination.
On our trips, you could discover national parks and valleys in Southwest USA on our Canyons and Navajo Lands trip with treks across Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, and the Grand Canyon. Or head to South East Asia, to bask in the beauty of China’s countless manmade wonders on our Essential China trip that takes you to the Terracotta Warriors in Xian, the Great Wall of China at Mutianyu and the towering skyscrapers dotted along Shanghai’s iconic Bund waterfront. If you’re looking to explore a lesser-visited destination, our Week in Georgia allows you to take part in dumpling-making masterclasses and wine tastings alongside visits to ancient monasteries, cave towns and towering fortresses across the country’s key historical cities.
