Tripwired
high end, culturally immersive, small group tours
TRAVEL WRITER, PHOTOGRAPHER AND TOUR LEADER
Michael has spent half a lifetime writing and photographing travel stories. “During that time I’ve discovered some pretty remarkable places that I wanted to share with other like-minded travellers, and out of that Tripwired Tours was born. It’s not just places but also a style of travel. I like to travel slowly, I don’t like long bus trips, I like flexible itineraries that allow me to pursue my own interests, I like small hotels with character and calm as well as comfort and I like to eat great food in lovely surroundings but I also like street food from time to time, and that’s where Liz comes in.”
FOOD & ACCOMMODATION FANATIC
Meet Liz, the maestra of discovering enchanting havens, culinary treasures, and the extraordinary moments that define our small-group tours. Now, let me share a captivating chapter: Liz and I have been journeying together since the ’70s, and the spark of wonder, excitement, and sheer joy in our travels continues to burn brightly.
