GROUP TOURS

Owner and travel advisor, Cathy McDonald, will often develop a customized tour package that she will lead in collaboration with a local expert in the destination. When these itineraries become available, they are posted for others to join.  The tour groups are small with lots of personal attention. When you join one of Cathy’s groups, you will enjoy the added bonus of additional care in the destination as she will be onsite with you all the way. All tours include a local leader and guides to make your visit a truly cultural immersive experience.
