Romania is one of Europe’s quiet surprises—a place where time stretches and deepens, and where history isn’t tucked away in museums but still woven into daily life. We begin in Bucharest, a city of contrasts, where Belle Époque elegance rubs shoulders with communist-era grit, and a new creative energy bubbles just beneath the surface.

From there, we head north into Maramureș, a region where old Europe endures. Wooden churches tilt in village cemeteries, haystacks dot the rolling hills, and horse-drawn carts still trundle down country roads. We stay in family-run guesthouses, share meals made from backyard gardens, and meet locals who keep centuries-old traditions alive—not for show, but because it’s how they live.

Then it's on to Transylvania, with its fortified Saxon towns, brooding castles and forested landscapes steeped in myth and legend. This is Romania at its richest—layered, atmospheric, and best discovered slowly, with open eyes and a curious heart.

Join Tripwired Tours for an immersive journey through Andalucía, Spain’s sultry south where Moorish palaces meet whitewashed villages and the scent of orange blossoms lingers in the air. This 10-day small group tour takes you beyond the postcard highlights to the region’s quieter, soul-stirring corners. We wander the winding lanes of Ronda, sip sherry in Jerez, and soak up the romance of Córdoba and Seville, where flamenco still pulses in hidden courtyards.

Moorish influence is woven through every step — from the intricate arches of Córdoba’s Mezquita to the tranquil courtyards of Seville’s Alcázar. The jewel in the crown is the Alhambra in Granada, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture that feels more dream than stone. We explore these wonders at a gentle pace, with time to savour Andalucía’s layered history, bold flavours, and golden light.

As always with Tripwired, this is slow travel at its finest — intimate, generous, and filled with unforgettable moments.

Morocco is a tapestry of cultures, landscapes, and traditions, and this journey has been designed to show it at its richest. We start in El Jadida, a charming coastal town with a Portuguese soul, before travelling down the Atlantic to Essaouira. Here the sea crashes against ancient ramparts, the markets bustle with artisans, and the rhythm is laid-back and musical.

From the coast we head into the High Atlas, where we stay at Bab Ourika, a sanctuary of comfort and views over Berber villages and terraced valleys. It’s a place to slow down, breathe the mountain air, and experience village life up close.

Next, the adventure deepens with two nights at Erg Chigaga, the Sahara at its most spectacular. Here we’ll camp in style among vast dunes, share meals under desert skies, and rise with the sun painting the sands gold.

Our path then leads to Skoura, where palm groves and mud-brick kasbahs create a timeless oasis, before we finish in Marrakesh. With its souks, gardens, and intoxicating energy, it’s the perfect finale.

With boutique stays, intimate group size, and authentic encounters, this tour is less about sightseeing and more about feeling Morocco — its warmth, hospitality, and spirit.

Egypt is a place that stirs the imagination—where ancient temples rise from the desert and the Nile still shapes daily life. This 16-day journey takes us from Cairo’s Grand Egyptian Museum and the historic lanes of Coptic Cairo to the sweeping vistas of Aswan, where we stay at the legendary Old Cataract Hotel.

We cruise the Nile in slow, elegant style aboard Set Nefru, a traditional dahabiya that stops at small villages and lesser-known temples. In Luxor, we settle into the richly atmospheric Al Moudira on the West Bank and explore the Valley of the Kings, avoiding the crowds wherever possible.

A side trip to the magnificent temples of Abu Simbel adds a fitting flourish to this deep dive into the world of the pharaohs. With time, comfort and context, this is Egypt not just seen—but felt.

Discover the sun-baked beauty of Puglia and the haunting charm of Matera on this intimate Tripwired tour through Italy’s lesser-known south. We wander through whitewashed hill towns like Ostuni and Locorotondo, stay in traditional masserias—historic farm estates— and linger over long lunches in olive groves where the food is as rustic as it is refined.

In Matera, one of the world’s oldest continually inhabited cities, we stay among the ancient cave dwellings—the sassi—carved into limestone cliffs. It’s a place of quiet magic and deep history, where every stone tells a story.

Along the way, we meet artisans, taste wines in family-run vineyards, and explore markets bursting with southern produce. From the baroque beauty of Lecce to the Adriatic’s turquoise coves, this is a journey of hidden corners and warm encounters.

With Tripwired, you travel slowly, thoughtfully, and with a small group of like-minded travellers—always with an eye for the authentic and the unforgettable.

Step into the soul of Italy on this slow-travel journey through Umbria, a region of misty hills, medieval towns, and deep-rooted traditions. With Tripwired Tours, we skip the crowds and dig beneath the surface — exploring hilltop villages like Spello and Montefalco, sipping Sagrantino in family-run wineries, and joining locals for long, leisurely lunches in olive groves. We stay in the beautiful hilltop village of Trevi, surrounded by ancient olive groves and sweeping valley views. From artisan workshops to frescoed churches in Bevagna, this is Italy at its most intimate — warm, welcoming, and wonderfully unhurried. Expect food, wine, and stories you’ll remember long after your bags are unpacked.

Tripwired’s South India tour is a richly layered journey through Tamil Nadu and Kerala — a world of temple towns, lush backwaters, spice-scented markets, and colonial echoes. From the colour and devotion of Madurai’s Meenakshi Temple to the peaceful rhythms of life on a traditional Keralan houseboat, this is India at its most soulful and sensuous.

What sets this trip apart is our private chef and culinary host, who guides us through South India’s vibrant food culture — from street eats and market tastings to cooking demonstrations and shared meals in family homes. Along the way, we explore tea plantations in the Western Ghats, wander faded French streets in Pondicherry, and relax in heritage hotels full of charm and history.

With a small group and generous pacing, this 16-day tour offers an immersive, off-the-beaten-path experience of South India’s landscapes, flavours, and spiritual heart. As always with Tripwired, it’s about connection — with people, place, and the stories that make travel unforgettable.

India reveals itself in layers, and this journey takes you through some of its most fascinating ones. We start in Kolkata, the old capital of the Raj and still a place of poetry, politics and passion. It’s a city that challenges and charms in equal measure – from flower markets at dawn to the quiet of Mother Teresa’s home.

From there we fly east to the Brahmaputra, one of the world’s great rivers. For a few days we drift on its broad waters, past tea estates and tiny villages where life unfolds much as it has for centuries. Along the way, we meet artisans, monks and farmers, and taste food flavoured with the spice of the Northeast.

In Bengal’s countryside we pause to experience village life, sharing meals, music and stories with families whose roots run deep in this fertile land.

Then it’s into the hills to Darjeeling. The toy train winds through mist and pine forests, tea gardens spill across the slopes, and Kanchenjunga gleams on the horizon.

Finally, Varanasi, where time feels endless. Here, dawn on the Ganges is a memory that never leaves you – fire, water, devotion and humanity in its purest form.
