Come travel with us!

Join us in September 2025 for Treasures of Spain: Madrid and Andalucía—a nine-night adventure to some of the most beautiful and romantic cities in Europe!

Our program will take you from Madrid, the Spanish capital with its beautiful parks, boulevards and museums, south to Andalucía, the region that for centuries was under the domination of the Moors, the Muslim rulers, craftsmen, scientists and teachers who brought their learning, their architecture, their gardens, their music and their cuisine to the West.  In Madrid we see the Royal Palace, the Prado Museum, leafy Retiro Park and Madrid’s famous public squares where people gather to socialize, eat, drink and celebrate.  Then we spend four nights in Córdoba, a short walk from the Mosque-Cathedral built by the Muslims in the 10th century.  Madrid and Córdoba give us easy access to four other outstanding cities of Spanish culture—Ávila, Segovia, Seville and Granada with its Alhambra Palace, often described as the most graceful and romantic palace in the world    

Add a four-day getaway to your summer 2025 travels in Europe, to Spain’s beautiful city on the Mediterranean—Barcelona! 

We’ll spend four days exploring Barcelona’s medieval quarter, its parks and boulevards,  and try the best Catalan food and drink in the quieter part of the travel season.  We’ll see Barcelona’s ancient Roman road and aqueduct, wander through the medieval Gothic cathedral, and explore Antonio Gaudí's stunning, modernist basilica.  We’ll stroll through the leafy pedestrian avenue known as the Rambla and sample favorite Catalan dishes, made with fresh, locally harvested produce, fish and shellfish.  Our hotel will give us the best location to explore all we want to see and do.  

Join us for an eight-day outing at the start of the holiday season to see the glitter and magic of old London Towne!     

Give your Christmas season a magical start in London, England.  We’ll see the British capital decked out in trees and lights and enjoy the festive air in shops, pubs and in a castle or two that make London the perfect place to welcome the holidays. Our group will meet in London on Saturday, December 6, and we'll have eight days to explore all the city offers, from the Tower of London and the British Museum to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Advent music at Westminster Abbey and the lights at Trafalgar Square. A special treat will be a visit to one of the two most important royal palaces, either Buckingham Palace in the city, or Windsor Castle in the countryside to the west, both decorated with holiday trees and lights. Our lodging is centrally located, and we'll be close to public bus and underground metro service that can take us to all parts of the city with ease.  

Join us for a nine nights in the South American summer for one of the world's grandest celebrations and magnificent Iguaçu Falls in Brazil's subtropical jungle.   

No city throws a party like Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  Rio's Carnaval season starts in January (mid-summer) and becomes a full-blown festival of music, dance, light and color culminating in the samba parades through the stadium built to host thousands of revelers in the last few days before the start of Lent.  We'll see Rio--the Marvelous City--at its most colorful, but also see the sights that make this a world-renowned destination at any point of the year--iconic Sugar Loaf Mountain, the Corcovado and the dramatic Christ the Redeemer statue high above the city, and the beaches at Ipanema and Copacabana.  Then we'll fly to Iguaçu Falls and enjoy three full days exploring what's likely the world's most beautiful waterfall and the surrounding national parks.  The program provides a complete itinerary with ground transportation, hotels, round-trip airfare from Rio to Iguaçu an easy-paced program that allow us to see and enjoy at our own pace.  

Over twelve days we’ll immerse ourselves in Argentina's capital city, the Andes Mountains and the stark beauty of the Patagonian coast. 

Our program will start in Buenos Aires, the "Paris of South America" and Argentina's center of culture, art and dining near the end of the South American summer. We’ll stroll through the city's plazas and parks and see the famous Casa Rosada--the executive office building of the Presidency, the palatial houses that were home to the city's elite in the early 1900s and historic Recoleta Cemetery.  We'll try the country's world-famous dishes of beef and other regional specialities.  Then we'll fly to Patagonia and the Andes Mountains (round-trip domestic flights are included) and explore Glaciers National Park, one of the best places to see glaciers up close by water and by land.  We'll continue to the Peninsula Valdés Nature Preserve, a vast area on the Atlantic Coast that's home to Magellanic penguins, guanacos, rheas (South American ostriches), sea lions and elephant seals, and will have two full days to explore the coast of one of the wildest regions on Earth.  We’ll end with a leisurely one-day trip to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, an historic Portuguese outpost during the colonial era.
