Amalfi Coast Walking

Amalfi Coast Walking
Naples Airport, Naples, Italy
for
6 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson To see Amalfi in her glamourous travel-mag spreads is to catch but a glimpse of her beauty: those ruin-topped cliffs on chic Capri; the rugged mountain trails lined with cypress groves and rosemary around Ravello; and the famed Path of the Gods above Positano, a route so divine it can turn atheists into true believers. With private boats and insider knowledge, we’ll explore these majestic hills with a local naturalist, take lunch in a mountain hut with our pal Salvatore,… more |

Wine Grand Journey
Bordeaux Airport, France
for
11 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson For a wine lover, it could be said that there are three Edens: Bordeaux, home to the great full blends of Châteaux Petrus, Figeac, and Lafite-Rothschild; Burgundy, home of the chardonnay by which all others are compared, and tamer of that most delicate and tricky of grapes, pinot noir; and Piemonte, where Barbaresco and Barolo—“the king of wines”—reign. Experiencing all three over the course of one journey (seamlessly, with the aid of private jets) is nothing short of heavenly. On… more |

Japan Bespoke Biking
Tokyo, Japan
for
8 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson Modern Japan is sensory overload—a full-on hurly-burly of neon and rampant urbanization. Ancient Japan is more our speed—verdant rice paddies, quiet villages, serene Buddhist shrines and Shinto temples, tradition by the ton. You have to search to find it, and search we did; our coastal rides through the rural Japan of old take us to kimono makers, lacquerware artisans, bonsai tenders and fetching ryokan guesthouses. Our meals are authentic, our experiences timeless. And, after a long day of divine riding,… more |

Quebec Biking
Montreal Airport, QC, Canada
for
6 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson Worlds both old and new meet in Québec. From cosmopolitan Montréal to history-rich Québec City (by way of the Eastern Townships, a Loyalist enclave of beautiful woodland biking), the synthesis is seamless. United by bike, we’ll sample Canada’s most European of provinces through its cheeses, wines, sparkling lakes and charming city streets. In Montréal, we’ll ride along the famously picturesque Lachine Canal. Then, with the St. Lawrence River guiding the way, we’ll visit the historic battlefields of the Plains of… more |

Jordan Biking
Amman, Jordan
for
9 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson It’s not just because The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan boasts some of the most important Christian sites in the world that you feel like you’re in a Discovery Channel special when you travel here. It’s the soaring mountains, colourful souks, the Roman ruins and vast expanses of desert. It’s floating in the Dead Sea, and reliving Ben-Hur (at least in your head) in an ancient hippodrome. It’s just a bonus that Jordanites are some of the most welcoming hosts we’ve… more |

South Africa Biking
Cape Town International Airport, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
for
8 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson We’ve been biking around South Africa for over ten years, and somehow it amazes us whenever we go back. With coastal roads seemingly made for cycling, world-class wines, two nights at a secluded Relais & Châteaux property and enough stirring landscapes to fill several photo albums, it squarely hits every B&R hot button. Add in face-time with penguins, top-rated restaurants and the chance to go sea-kayaking in search of whales and things get even more sublime. Orchard walks and vineyard… more |

Morocco Biking
Ouarzazate, Morocco
for
8 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson Morocco is a journey of the mind and spirit as much as one of geography. As you cross the sun-baked Saharan dunes, ascend the soaring High Atlas Mountains, a strange sensation creeps over you. Don’t worry, it’s not heat exhaustion (our van will keep your thirst thoroughly slaked), but rather a deepening connection with this amazing place as it seeps into your soul. We believe a place like Morocco is best enhanced by local characters sharing their stories and lives,… more |

Kwandwe Post Trip
CapeTown international Airport
for
4 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson In Africa, five is a really big number. We’d be remiss if we sent you home from Africa without giving you the chance to check elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes and rhinoceros—the big-game Big Five—off your list of all-time must-sees. On our post-trip to the Eastern Cape’s Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, you’ll plenty of time to track down the beasties (as well as giraffes, zebras and kudu) on daily bush walks with experienced travellers and game drives in 4x4 safari vehicles.… more |

Catalonia Biking
Airport near Barcelona, Spain
for
6 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson From your bike, you can see the peaks of the Pyrénées looming on the horizon. Volcanic flats stretch out ahead, leading to unbelievably pastoral fields. Along the way stand villages shaped by the hands of Roman architects, medieval craftsmen and surrealist artists. The local dialect and traces of the thriving culture—a dizzying mix of French and Spanish—poke through everywhere after years of dictatorial oppression. Dinner is tapas or a barbecue paired with a perfect vintage before settling in to a… more |

Turquoise Coast Walking
Bodrum Airport, Turkey
for
8 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson Turkey burns through empires the way movie stars do spouses; the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans have all laid claim to this vital link between East and West, and while there’s no doubting its strategic importance, we’re pretty sure the balmy climate and stunning scenery had something to do with it. Aboard our traditional teak gulet, we cruise the dazzling Aegean and its historic coastline in style. The scope of our eight-day reign here is wide and varied: incredible hikes… more |

Myanmar Biking
Yangon Airport Road, Mingaladon, Yangon Division, Burma
for
9 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson It is the quiet mystique of Myanmar that proves so compelling. Here is a nation that, for many, feels largely undiscovered and yet is one of the gems of Southeast Asia—and one of the most extraordinary trips in B&R’s long history. From biking the lush countryside, to strolling through ancient villages and spectacular temples, to floating along the current in the deluxe comforts of a riverboat, we take in Myanmar at a pace that reflects the gentle character of the… more |

Airport, Ecuador near Quito, Ecuador
for

Provider: Butterfield & Robinson If biology class were this much fun, we wouldn’t need summer vacation. The world’s greatest cage-less zoo, this volcanic archipelago teems with wild things your kids won’t see anywhere outside of science textbooks and the Discovery Channel. Lizards that swim? Cormorants that don’t fly? Natural selection sure is selective, huh? The sea lions and lava lizards get close enough to touch (but we won’t—nature is best appreciated from a respectful distance), and our expert naturalists will be at the ready… more |

El Calafate , Argentina
for

Provider: Butterfield & Robinson No malls, no Internet, no PlayStation. No worries. Patagonia may be vast and nearly deserted, but it’s bursting with things to do. Hop in a catamaran and coast past icebergs and the glaciers one day, grab a sweater (and ice-cleats) and walk across one the next. Ride with bona fide Argentine cowboys all day and snack on delicious barbecued asado at dinner. Kayak, boulder and rappel under the watchful eye of experts in Nahuel Huapi National Park. And just like… more |

for

Provider: Butterfield & Robinson Even after all these years, Piemonte still feels like our little secret. Good thing, too, because if word got out, we’d hate to have to share it. Out here, we’re virtually alone as we pedal small roads through the most prestigious vineyards in Italy. Charming inns act like mile markers along spectacular bike routes through rolling hills of vines, hazelnut groves and secluded villages. And as the home of Barolo, Barbaresco, great pasta (which we’ll learn to make with an… more |

Tucuman, Argentina
for

Provider: Butterfield & Robinson Unbelievable variety is commonplace in Argentina’s northwest—from jaw-dropping mountain vistas and canyons that change colour when the sunlight hits them to incredibly lush cloud forests and the blank canvases of the Andean salt pans on which Nature paints her prettiest skyscapes. Humans have done their best to complement nature’s genius with colourful colonial towns, miles of bike-friendly pavement, strong Incan and Catholic traditions that still live in the rural communities, flavours and rhythms that have fed and moved generations of… more |

Verona to Venice Biking
Verona Airport, Italy
for
6 Days • Contact provider for price
Provider: Butterfield & Robinson Although he never visited them, Shakespeare had a love affair with the cities of the Veneto. He set Romeo & Juliet in Verona; his great tragedy, Othello, concerned a Venetian general. Not only is the Veneto region steeped in literature-inspiring history, it is also a breadbasket for the country, and naturally its people are lovers of good food and drink (consider the exquisite Valpolicella and Amarone wines, for instance). All the elements of a good trip seem to be present… more |
