Have you ever slept on a traditional junk in Vietnam, or watched a herd of elk forage on a frozen Wyoming plain? Have you ever discussed Cuba while touring with a reporter who covered it for years, or the future of the West Bank with a Palestinian scholar? Have you been behind the scenes at Sundance or La Scala? Some travelers are just more curious than others. They want a deeper, more passionate experience of a destination. They want to return home with something more precious than memories. They want understanding. Times Journeys is a collection of focused, meticulously planned small group tours that take you closer, so you see more. Everything has been selected with utmost care — from the destinations themselves (chosen for the depth of experience they offer) to the tour leaders and journalists you will meet, who add local perspective. Offered in connection with Abercrombie & Kent, Mountain Travel Sobek, Academic Travel Abroad, Insight Cruises and Judy Perl Worldwide Travel, Times Journeys provide only the highest levels of quality, comfort and service.
