Outdoor Adventure Tours
Expeditions for adventure seekers are as diverse as the world’s natural landscapes. USTOA tour operators ensure guests are geared up for safe, exhilarating experiences, whether they’re cycling in Vietnam with Exodus Adventure Travels or hiking, biking, and kayaking through the ancient fishing villages of Italy’s Cinque Terre with Club Adventures. Guided walks make trips like Alexander + Roberts‘ Easter Island tour or Country Walkers‘ trek in Montana’s Glacier National Park epic. If safari-ing calls to your clients, EF Go Ahead Tours offers a Namibia trip that goes beyond the ordinary with a visit to the non-profit Cheetah Conservation Fund.
Arts & Culture Tours
Culturally immersive Italy tours go layers deeper than the obvious attractions. Book clients on CIE Tours’ Tuscan Treasures tour, and they’ll never forget truffle hunting. Choose Tauck‘s Tuscany, Cinque Terre and Portofino Coast itinerary, and they’ll even get access to some Florence sights pre-opening. VBT‘s guided Sicily biking vacation features a hands-on cooking class. Globus will have Italy dreamers “on cloud wine” during a tasting with a Chianti Hills view on their That’s Amore! Tour.
