Travel closer to home

Introducing our new range of Intrepid Retreats

For the adventurous at heart, these months holed up inside have been difficult and they have left us with a deep desire to connect with people and places again. To support the local communities closer to home who are working to rebuild and recover from the challenges of the year so far. And, to experience all the little moments that make travel special.

Introducing our range of Intrepid Retreats, a new way to explore some of the top destinations a little closer to home. Whether you’d rather go wine tasting on the Croatian island of Lastovo, hiking in Scotland, or learn how to make traditional loukoumi in Syros, we’ve got an adventure for you. Your dream getaway might only be a few hours’ drive or a short flight away…

Small group sizes

Our group sizes are small enough to avoid the crowds and reach some out-of-the-way places, but big enough for a good social mix.

That’s Urban Adventures.
