We explored the countryside in the company of a WWII expert as he brought the history of Europe’s most infamous battlefields to life.

Riding along the Danube, stopping for apricot tart; morning ride through vineyards and lunch at the winery; a horse carriage to the restaurant in Vienna – so memorable!

Slowing down is best done in the Cotswolds, where honey-coloured villages and meandering sheep invite you to linger longer.

We hiked to the top of Creag Choinnich for a beautiful view of Braemar. It was my wife’s birthday and our phenomenal guide pulled out a fife and played for us!

Incredible hotels and restaurants, and great visits I would not have discovered on my own. With the mobile GPS, everyone enjoyed the exceptional bike rides at their own pace.
