2009 Signature Journeys

When you travel, have you ever wondered what life must be like inside that romantic chateau or in that charming village as you go whizzing by? Do you get tired of searching for that perfect restaurant or hotel only to find that you paid too much for something ordinary? Do you find traveling with 35 strangers struggling to hear a guide describe the third cathedral of the day a little tedious?

We do.

These are a few of the reasons we created our acclaimed series of Signature Journeys, each designed to provide a more engaging exploration of a region and its people and, in the process, to enrich ourselves.

A few of the hallmarks of our journeys include:

• Maintain your individuality. Travel with small numbers of pleasant travelers, typically ranging from 15 to 22 guests.
  
  
• Enjoy "insider's privileges". Visit private homes, meet the locals, receive private briefings, go behind the scenes, avoid the crowds.
  
  
• Eat in the region's best restaurants; stay in the best hotels. Forego "bus tour restaurants" while you sample the best of a region's dining and superb hotels.
  
  
• We'll keep you well informed. You'll know how much to tip, what to wear and some of the important cultural dos and don'ts.
  
  
• Travel worry free. Leave the logistics to your Traveling Concierges.
