Our return on investment? A bottomless reservoir of newfound energy. A wealth of culinary inspiration. A glow of irrepressible optimism. A re-consummated love affair with wine. A blossoming passion for 17thC architecture and 15thC art. A state of bliss so impenetrable it's kind of annoying (to everyone but you). Oh, and a free T-shirt. —George & Norm

Private Travel Sometimes the time is right to travel your own way. We make it deliciously easy to journey with friends, family, colleagues or on your own. Choose a private trip that’s Ready-to-Book, or have our Bespoke team design a custom trip just for you. “My trip is perfect in every way. Except, um, it doesn't exist.”
“I want to round up my posse, pick a date and pack our bags.”
GO BESPOKE
CHOOSE READY-TO-BOOK
A custom trip tailored to your every need. Whatever you're envisioning, we’ll put one of our seasoned trip designers on the case. Deep knowledge and passion for travel result in a perfectly transcendent B&R experience.
We’ve crafted an amazing selection of private itineraries that span the globe, with all the B&R magic included. Self- or locally guided, they’re ready to rock, and ideal for travellers with an independent streak.
FOR MORE DETAILS VISIT BUTTERFIELD.COM/PRIVATE-TRAVEL
What’s New NEW HOTEL OPTIONS
Signature or Bistro Hotels Once the sun goes down, we’ve noticed two different kinds of travellers emerge. So many of our trips now come in two flavours: same glorious B&R itineraries, but different hand-selected hotels. Signature Want nights as resplendent as your days? Every Signature hotel is a stunning expression of the region. Think former castles, private windswept terraces, and an ocean view to swoon in front of. Bistro Is your holy grail a blissful night’s sleep? Our Bistro hotels are just as serene but a little more casual—perfect for travellers who see hotels as a trip’s delicious antipasto but prefer the decadent open road as their main course.
NEW RIDES
Custom bikes for every speed We asked our friends at Bianchi to custom design the perfect B&R bikes for Europe. They sent back a fleet of smooth aerodynamic wonders: hybrids with flat handlebars, more stable frame and wider tires; and oh-so-sleek drop bar racing bikes. Let’s roll! Looking for an even sweeter ride with a carbon frame boasting high-performance wheels and componentry? We can set you up with an ultralight elite bike to make you lightning fast. Call for pricing details. Need help keeping up with your wife? Don’t forget about our fleet of E-bikes in Europe. We plug it in at night, you get extra juice when you need it. Ask a Travel Advisor about them!

Activity Levels “Yeah, B&R goes slowly to see the world. But, um, how slowly?” Good question. This year, we’ve revamped our activity levels. Forget the terrain profiles and distance stats (although you can get those details too, at butterfield. com/about/activity-levels). Instead, we’ve categorized our trips by the type of traveller they suit best. Just take these new archetypes with a grain of salt: our super-flexible guides always have brilliant route extensions and the handsome B&R van ready if you suddenly crave an adrenaline-churning workout—or an afternoon siesta. The choice is always yours.
What Kind of Traveller Are You? Occasional You’re in decent shape, but prefer sipping (Pinot? Barolo?) to schlepping. You walk a few times a week or bike once in a blue moon. Flat, gorgeous terrain? Yes please.
Recreational You savour a good walk or cycle a few times a month. Panting isn’t really your style, but one or two hills can help you work off those divine buttered oysters from lunch.
Enthusiast You go for a long walk or ride about once a week. Sometimes you sweat just for the sake of sweating, but an even better reward for a few steep climbs per day? The “whoa” view.
Avid You love a good, substantial hike or cycling a few times a week. Rolling hills, deep valleys and some steep, challenging climbs just make the homemade Tuscan tiramisu sweeter.
Expert Your favourite therapy is your daily workout. You may even have some personal records to beat. Sweating your way up a steep, stunning ascent? Sounds invigorating!
