It’s been a few weeks, but the impact of Ride to Conquer Cancer is still riding strong. 💛

As an Official Sponsor, we were proud to support—and ride in—this incredible event, bringing together our global B&R community with one purpose: to conquer cancer, one kilometre at a time.

Highlights from our inaugural Team Butterfield & Robinson:

🚴‍♂️ Led by team captains Sam, a cancer survivor, and Mike at the helm
🇵🇹 Experience Designer João flew in from Lisbon to ride in honour of his parents
🌍 Our Italy and France teams rode in solidarity from our European headquarters
🎪 The B&R tent on ride weekend brought the energy, passion, and community spirit

Together, we logged over 5,000 km and raised $143,749.95 for cancer research.

We’re beyond proud. And already dreaming of next year’s ride.

Thank you to and for the incredible work you do to fight cancer.

India doesn’t whisper. It floods the senses—in the best possible way. And as the third leg of our Around the World in 60 Days collection, this adventure through Rajasthan is equal parts vibrant and unforgettable.

Here, mornings begin with temple bells and end under a blanket of stars. You’ll cycle through villages untouched by time, zipline above Jodhpur’s indigo rooftops, and track wild leopards across the dramatic hills of Jawai.

We’ll open palace doors for private tours, dine by candlelight in ancient forts, and stay in 300-year-old palace hotels that carry the stories of centuries past.

In Rajasthan, every moment feels cinematic, stirring your soul and awakening your senses. Let the colours, chaos, and charm of Rajasthan sweep you off your feet.

Some trips are about discovery. Others, about reconnection.

When this traveller set out to retrace the paths of her German childhood – this time with her family by her side – it became a journey none of them would ever forget.

With every village, vineyard, and quiet cobblestone street, memories surfaced. Stories were shared. Generations bonded. From perfectly chosen hotels to deeply personal experiences woven into each day, it was a trip built on care, history, and heart.

“My mom wanted everything to be taken care of,” her daughter shared. “And it was—even beyond perfect. She kept saying how much she appreciated the planning by Flo and how the guides, Tom and Pierre, felt like part of the family.”

And that’s the power of travel – not just to move us, but to bring us back.

After a day of riding South Africa’s rugged coastlines and rolling hills, Forest Lodge at feels like a secret whispered through the Milkwood trees.

Perched above Walker Bay, this luxurious retreat is designed to disappear into its surroundings: meandering forest paths, untouched fynbos, and 180-degree views that blur the line between lodge and landscape.

This is nature, perfected, and one of the many reasons our South Africa Biking trip is unforgettable.

Field Notes from Japan 🇯🇵

Experience Designer Orsolya Kako spent a week exploring the cultural richness and raw beauty of Nagasaki, Fukuoka, Saga and the Goto Islands, a region even most Japanese haven’t been to.

Biking along coastal roads, hiking hidden trails, and diving into local traditions; Orsolya scouted ways to weave this magic into future B&R adventures. Imagine white sand beaches and the freshest sushi imaginable.

And to top it off? A visit to Enowa Yufuin, a hotel so stunning, Orsolya was left speechless (which, trust us, doesn’t happen often).

Kyushu might not be on your radar yet—but it will be.

Tour de France might be about pace, but we’re riding our own kind of race – just slower and more scenic.

Discover France the B&R way: one vineyard, village, and château at a time. Pedal past rolling vineyards in Burgundy, pause for oysters in Brittany, sip from secret cellars in Bordeaux, and toast sunset from Loire’s storybook châteaux.

The pros race for yellow, we ride for the joie de vivre.

On his first-ever trip to Europe, Guide An Do Truong didn’t just visit – he biked 1,000 km solo from Beaune to Rome.

With over 200 guided trips under his belt in Vietnam, An knew a bike was the best way to soak up Europe's charm. “Cycling lets you slip into quiet, authentic places. You feel the world with your eyes and ears—and forget what day it is.”

He rode from the heart of Burgundy to Rome, because 'all roads lead to Rome'. Along the way, the B&R family pitched in with route tips and even hosted him in France and Italy.

For An, Europe might have been new—but it felt like coming home.

Meet Marya, your passport to Switzerland, Corsica, Normandy and Brittany.

Born in Seattle, but Corsican at heart, Marya has been chasing European adventures since before she could walk (almost literally). She's been with B&R since 1999, guiding, designing trips that are anything but ordinary and has one golden rule: a trip without chocolate isn’t worth taking.

Think sand-sailing in Normandy, yodelling to Swiss cows, or picnicking in the Corsican wild with fresh-foraged herbs and sheep’s cheese (fig jam mandatory).

With her deep local connections and unshakable sense of fun, Marya doesn’t just design trips—she unlocks entire worlds.
