✨ Small Group Spotlight: Piedmont, Italy 🇮🇹 ✨

For travelers who love slow moments, deeper connections, and authentic experiences — this is the kind of journey that stays with you. The best part is once you book the tour, everything is handled for you and there is no thinking or guess work when you get to the country (not to mention minimal out-of-pocket expenses because we include everything in your tour so you don’t have to think about it when you get there ) you will have someone with you every step of the way, but still enough time to explore on your own as you wish!

Imagine strolling through vine-covered hills in Piedmont, tasting world-class wines, learning how prized white truffles are found, and joining a chef for a cooking class in a former castle! 

This escorted tour blends:
🍷 Wine tastings in Barolo and Gavi
🍄 Truffle hunting in Alba
🍽️ Local food experiences and cooking demos
🏛️ Cultural treasures in Turin
🚤 A private cruise on Lake Maggiore
…all in a group that feels more like friends than strangers. 

What’s the first thing you’d want to do in Piedmont — wine tasting 🍷, truffle hunting 🍄, or a private boat cruise 🚤? Tell us! 👇.

Such a great alternative to cruising and traditional bus tours to cover lots of if you don’t like cruises!ground while touring!

The best train journeys in the world have an intangible allure about them. Since the dawn of time, the romance of railways has seduced poets, spellbound novelists, and dealt directors the perfect hand for capturing fleeting friendships, illicit affairs, and all manner of crimes and capers. A ticket is not just a permit to ride, it’s permission to trespass on the intimacies of other people’s lives. Trains bring us up close and personal—both inside and outside the carriage. On board, passengers chat politics in Finnish dining cars, clamber into couchettes above strangers on the Trans-Siberian, and share samosas on India’s many raucous mail trains. Outside, the world flashes by, a slideshow of rivers growing into oceans, deserts rising into mountains and cities sprawling then receding into darkness as the train thunders on through the night. https://cntraveler.visitlink.me/GQfB7e

This place is a whole vibe. Stayed at Moxy East Village and loved how much there is to do right inside the hotel — plus the neighborhood is packed with amazing food, nightlife, and things to explore.plus the staff was so much fun and so accommodating!

🎯 Ski-ball & crane games
🍸 Multiple bars including a rooftop Mexican restaurant + bar
🛋️ A super cool lounge to hang out
