On this trip, you will explore Ireland's rugged west coast with its fjords, its ancient castles, pre-historic sites and charming villages.

Situated in the northeast of France, this area is framed by the Vosges Hills in the west and the valley of the Rhine to the west. This quintessentially French region is infused with German influences, as it was part of Germany from 1870 until after WWI. It can be seen in the architecture, cuisine and language. Alsace is tremendously beautiful and interesting. Vineyards and the historical towns — many with castle remnants and medieval walls—are the focus of this tour. And as always when in France, you’ll delight in good food and local wines throughout.
This trip is all about lakes and mountains, it will take you through time from The Sound of Music and the Emperors of the Austrian Monarchy to Celtic people from the Iron Age.

One day we will follow the track of "THE SOUND OF MUSIC": Most of you will remember that story: A family (parents with their two sons and their daughter) fled from Czechoslovakia to Austria in 1982. They fled through Slovenia (by that time it was a part of Yugoslavia). It was winter, there was loads of snow and us three kids did not like it at all. On the Austrian side then, their father had to use a rope to get is family of the mountain. I will take you there and we will follow exactly the same way we took in 1982 across that border...
Southern Czech Republic, hills,lakes and castles await us. In Cesky Krumlov you will have to pinch yourself to make sure you aren't in a fairytale. We have spent ourselves several times our summertime holidays there, and I would like to share some! of its secrets with you.
Imagine waking up in a charming town, surrounded by the majestic Alps. Each day greets you with the promise of exploring a new skiing resort, each with its own unique character and challenges. Accompanied by a professional ski guide, whose knowledge of the slopes is as intimate as the contents of their pockets, you'll carve through the snow, chasing the sun across the sky.
Cycling in Catalonia means diverse terrain: steep coastal roads along the Costa Brava, quiet vineyard paths in Penedès, and tough mountain passes in the Pyrenees. The network of bike routes is well-developed but not always clearly marked—cities like Barcelona can be chaotic for riders, while rural areas offer peaceful, empty roads. The weather is usually great, but summers can be scorching, and spring or autumn winds often add an extra challenge. Are you ready for this challenge?
Historic, scenic, and unforgettably delicious…just a few words to describe this route, which will excite more than Francophiles. We'll start in the flatlands bordering Brittany and Normandy along the estuary where the green of the ocean merges with the blue of the sky. Shortly after, we'll tour one of the marvels of the western world: Mont St. Michel Abbey – fortress and pilgrimage site for centuries. Cradled by the sea, the abbey is still as hypnotizing as it was in medieval times .
