Small Group Luxury Tours |
 |
Our Escorted Trips are open to the public (with an average group size of 16), are escorted by at least one Horizon guide for the entire duration of the trip, have a fixed itinerary, have a fixed price and leave on fixed departure dates. The quality of the experience on our escorted trips are driven by two things (apart from the itinerary itself) - our guides & your fellow-travellers.
Guides - Our guides understand service as it was meant to be practiced - deferential without being fawning, personal without being presumptuous, authoritative without being rigid, responding to needs rather than dictating solutions. We are confident that you will have as much fun travelling with them as we have working with them.
Travellers - Our travellers, whether they are Classic or Exploratory in nature, share a broad range of compelling characteristics which make them ideal travelling companions. They are invariably adventurous souls, engaged in the world around them, culturally and intellectually curious, always up for a few laughs or a spontaneous excursion, and they travel to broaden their horizons and experience authentic and meaningful moments.
