All About Journeys of Distinction

Don’t miss a thing
On a Journey of Distinction, you are not merely a bystander. We believe that the wonders, customs and cultures you experience will live on in the core of your being. We’d even go so far as to say they will change your life forever.

We used to call our trips ‘Escorted Tours’ but, somehow, that just didn’t get across the depth of the experience. An Enlightened Tour is so much more than a simple sightseeing holiday. It also takes you on a personal journey; connecting you to countries, customs and cultures by exploring, explaining and unearthing, in a way that creates a lifelong bond. Our exclusive itineraries, unequalled tour managers, knowledgeable guides, exceptional hotels and unique approach all combine to transform the experience from merely interesting, to enriching, enlightening and deeply, personally fulfilling.

You’ll see the world. In glorious technicolour.
Imagine all you’ve ever known is black and white. Seeing the world on a Journey of Distinction is like seeing life in colour for the first time. The pinky-red of lost cities carved in the rock, the burnished gold of a pharaoh’s tomb, the tapestry of greens from vineyard to peak, the iridescent amber of Table Mountain at sunset.

Everything is magnified, amplified, more vibrant, more real. Heart-stoppingly, mesmerizingly beautiful. Of course, seeing the world is just the start. We want you to live it, embrace it, feel it, become part of it. And absolutely love it. Live the spine-tingle of a lion’s roar. Embrace the raw earthiness of a powerful land. Feel the humbling magnificence of ancient wonders. Become part of the throng, the bustle, the clamour. Love the irrepressible rhythm of life. Life is a journey. Don’t miss a thing.
