Your Local Specialists
The beauty lies in the details. I had one guest who knew that her family came from Croatia's Island of Hvar. On the trip she asked the Local Specialist if she knew her surname. The Specialist knew exactly where her family was from and connected her with a great aunt. She was even able to see the old family home!
A fantastic day is when the group comes back from an experience and guests are literally in a e. hether it s the first time they set their eyes upon the Eiffel To er, take in the striking Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, or view the ancient city walls of Dubrovnik, I am humbled to be a part of the holidays that people dream about, experience, and then remember forever.”

Meet Ange Travel Experiences Manager for New Zealand
With Trafalgar, it’s all about people. Getting fully immersed with the locals gives you so much more from your trip. For instance, on our signature Be My Guest experiences you’ll meet real locals, like the Bamford family on our Contrasts of New Zealand tour (p.51). They’ve been on their Hurunui Hills Farm since 1884, with six generations focused on producing premium Merino sheep – Scotty and his parents love introducing our guests to their little piece of paradise.
Close to my heart personally are our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER™ Experiences. (p.18-19). We make real tangible improvements for locals and businesses by visiting these experiences. For instance, I love the biodiversity talk from the founder of Kai ura ildlife Centre Trust,
Sabrina, whose goal is to implement a world-class wildlife hospital in the region. Wildlife rescue and rehabilitation is a critical conservation tool to ensure at-risk native species have a chance at recovery and return to the wild.
We give our guests unique experiences to make their travel dreams come true. Some of my favourites are the journey from Queenstown to UNESCO-listed Milford Sound and the nature cruise with lunch (p.51). The views along the way are spectacular, and it’s a must to stop for photos at the many scenic viewpoints and areas here Lord of the Rings as filmed. Plus, on very lucky days there are dolphins joining in to be part of the show."
