Leaders With Deep Local Knowledge

Your trip leaders are avid outdoorspeople themselves who come from the region you’re exploring and know the trails, the natural history, and the local culture inside and out. More than trail guides, they are also some of the best tour managers in the business, sensitive to the different needs of the group and able to adapt nimbly to changing circumstances and unexpected opportunities to make the most of each day. With their native knowledge of your destination, they will be your best resource for finding hidden gems in your free time—from restaurants loved by the locals to worthwhile sites to visit.

Along the way, local experts will join you to share their perspectives and insights. It might be a vintner who leads you on a winery tour in Chile’s Maipo Valley or a seasoned guide who can share the little-known stories of famous places on a walk through Edinburgh or Florence.
