Classic Journeys

Handcrafting trips of a lifetime. That's what motivates our team — in our La Jolla HQ and around the world — every day. We fundamentally believe that every guest on every departure of every trip should have a trip of a lifetime. Our passion is in connecting with people of different cultures, and immersing others in a region—while still enjoying the creature comforts. We started with culture + walking adventures. From the first year's offerings of six regions in three countries in 1995, we now offer more than 100 itineraries in 50 countries on six continents. One style of travel has grown to seven—culture+ walking, culinary, family, multisport, river cruising, alumni, and incentive. And set departures have been complimented by all manner of private and custom trips—all the while following that one single guiding principal—handcrafting trips of a lifetime. We've been honored and humbled that others have seen the merit in what we do. Among other awards, our company has been named a World's Best Tour Operator by Travel + Leisure magazine 12 years in a row and counting. At the end of the day, our team is fortunate to play the role of a well-connected friend, linking our guests with our friends around the world… amazing guides, artisans, winemakers, hoteliers, restauranteurs, naturalists, and too many others to list here. We invite you to join us to explore the world in Classic Journeys style.
