Independent, Custom-Tailored Vacation Options
Perhaps the greatest luxury of independent travel is having the time to make discoveries—the tiny museum that’s not in the tour book, the subtle flavors of local cuisine, or the view from your hotel room over tiled rooftops and cozy courtyards. Explore at your leisure, strolling along cobbled lanes and wandering through village shops. Pack a picnic and sit beneath a gnarled olive tree overlooking the rolling hillsides and the water beyond. Take a language-immersion class. Let the local residents share the wonders of their town and their region. And, when you’re ready, move along to your next discovery.

Rail Journeys
Leave behind the tensions of the highway and follow your imagination by rail. Explore a country or a continent as trains transport you easily between cities and towns, where you can de-train and explore for hours or days. Or perhaps you’ll settle in a favorite location and take a number of day or overnight excursions from that hub. Either way, accompanied by the relaxing rhythm of the wheels on the tracks, you’ll enjoy the warm companionship of fellow travelers and the pleasures of magnificent scenery.
