Join Us In…

About Joining Us

We sometimes get asked if we go on the tours we sell. So, as trip planners, we approached some of our favourite tour companies and asked “if we wanted to travel and invite some guests, how could we do this?”

That led us to “Join Us In”, which is just a phrase to say we are taking a tour, going on a cruise, taking a vacation, if you’d like to join us, please do. When we ever get to a total of 12 people (us plus 10) we stop taking bookings because at that point we’d have to consider larger vehicles and higher numbers of people to guarantee the tour has enough people to go. That sounds like work. This is meant to be fun.

Where Are We Going?

We are planning to visit Spain, France and Kenya in 2025, 26?

Join Us for A Taste of the Mediterranean October 2025: A Cruise through the Heart of Provence and the Camargue Region. A cruise aboard a canal barge promises a peaceful break where you take the time to discover “la douce France” in a different way. The MS Anne-Marie, a true cocoon of charm, sails on the French canals and offers its passengers an original and authentic experience.

From Sète to Arles, join us on a cruise through breathtaking sceneries. Discover the Camargue and Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, one of the jewels of the Languedoc known as one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France. Visit Aigues-Mortes, a medieval fortified town with a prestigious heritage in the heart of one of the most beautiful natural sites of Provence. You will also have a chance to explore 2,500 years of history in Arles.

Join us in Kenya – Feb 2026. Alanna has many great memories of visiting Nairobi, the great savannah’s and forests and George has never been so this is both revisit and first-time trip. We’ll be staying in some wild land camps, some hotels and travelling by sturdy all terrain mini-bus. Details are still in the making but you can express your interest here. We will be looking at dates where we can watch the spring season migration.

Join Us in Spain and Experience Al Andalus Mar 2025- this is tour is a first visit for us that travels mainly by rail. Spain has the most developed rail system in Europe and we really like the comfort of trains over almost every other form of transportation. We visit all the major cities of old Spain exploring the beautiful Moorish architecture, the music and culture of flamenco, the food and wine, all at a leisurely pace. Read more. (Space on request).

Details

Pre-planned, pre-paid, and time for a little serendipity. It’s real travel.

Meet local hosts and guides to learn about things in more detail and have more personal attention. Have enough unplanned time so you can pace yourself accordingly but with enough activities included to not need to be digging out your credit card for extra tours. Enjoy the comfort of being with some other people on the same trip, but not having to spend every waking second with them.

We are happy to talk with you on the phone and zoom as well as in person and we usually communicate by mainly by email.
