Since our conception, we have lived by our strapline – why do ordinary. Every trip we send our clients on has to be extraordinary. Each tour, guide and hotel has to have something special to be included in our collection.

Our album of hotels includes glass domes on the edge of a crater, a luxurious retreat carved into a rock face with a private pool, a vineyard villa with onsite sheep farm and more.
