Memories from our 2022 Alaska trip!

When many people hear the words “guided tour,” they still picture giant buses, rushed sightseeing, and rigid schedules.

But guided travel has changed dramatically.

Today’s tours can mean small groups, boutique hotels, immersive cultural experiences, active exploration, incredible local guides, and the freedom to simply enjoy the journey while someone else handles the logistics.

From wine tasting in Tuscany to hiking in Patagonia to exploring hidden villages and local markets, modern guided travel is about experiencing a destination more deeply — not just checking sights off a list.

I shared some thoughts on how escorted travel is evolving and why more travelers are rediscovering it in my latest blog. Click the link in the comments to read the full blog.
