Hidden Wonders of Europe

Retrace the Path of 17th-Century Coming-of-Age Aristocrats on the Grand Tour

From the 17th to the early 19th century, long before the days of mass tourism, young European aristocrats embarked on what was then known as The Grand Tour, a coming-of-age educational journey of world discovery. Inspired by this remarkable rite of passage, we created the “Lions, Tigers, and Tradewinds” itinerary, a life-changing, mind-broadening experience, albeit in the utmost of comfort, safety, and style.

Travel on a privately chartered, custom-configured Boeing 757 aircraft through India, Africa, and the Middle East. We planned the most efficient routing possible to ensure the flights average four hours and avoid connections, baggage claims, and long airport lines. Your dedicated flight crew will see to every detail aloft with gourmet meals and wine, and upon arrival, your bags will be whisked away delivered directly to your five-star hotel room.

This Grand Tour encompasses a wide range of distinct cultures and experiences—lions and tigers, maharajas and Maasai, and tropical island escapes that you won’t experience on any other tour.

Highlights

  • Travel by private jet to nine carefully selected and wildly different destinations
  • Touch down in five countries and two continents in 21 days
  • Retrace the path of ancient trade routes and search for treasures in some of the world’s oldest markets
