The only limit is your imagination
Want to pedal with friends in the vineyards of Burgundy, but don’t see a departure that suits? Simply Bespoke one of our existing Burgundy biking trips. Don’t see your Shangri-la in this year’s trip collection? Chances are we’ve been there before. Give us a call and we’ll dig through the archives to put you on the path to paradise. Dreaming REALLY BIG? Wondering how much of Brazil you can cycle with the help of a private jet? This piece of string is as long as your imagination and just as much fun.
To get your creative juices flowing, check out a few recent Bespoke trips from the menu at right. Whether you want to Bespoke a little or Bespoke a lot, we’ll figure it out before you can say “private trips made to fit.” Steven Price
Piemonte Bespoke Biking 2009
“I can’t think of any finer way to experience a new destination, along with its culture and lifestyle than through a B&R trip. I’ve been to Italy before but nothing can compare to seeing the road less travelled. Everything was perfect, from beginning to end. I want to give a special thanks to our guides; Marya and Marco, who made everything so effortless. They were such fun to be with and they really knew the area so well. I am looking forward to my next trip and hope to make this an annual event.”

Andalucía Bespoke Biking 2010
“Our guides, Nancy and Lewis, managed our group perfectly always with a professional manner mixed with grace, humor and flexibility! The breathtaking beautiful hike to Rhonda—snap shots of the countryside will stay with me forever.”

Normandy Bespoke With the Kids 2009
“Everything about our trips was outstanding—the hotel, restaurants, picnics, activities, scenery, sightseeing stops. Every one of our needs was met. Our guides Annik, Dale and Marya were excellent. Their winning personalities and willingness to go to any length to meet our needs was greatly appreciated. Their mastery of the French language made all situations smooth and seamless.”

Loire Valley Bespoke With the Kids 2010
“This truly felt like a once in a lifetime experience but I know we will have more. Surprising our in-laws with a French song sung by their grandchildren on their anniversary was incredible.”
Kingdom of the Clouds
When a group of college buddies approached us looking for a place to catch up and escape their busy lives for a while, the first place that sprang to mind was the Dolomites. Way up in the Italian Alps—where cellphones and BlackBerrys fear to tread—we treated them to a fine balance of activity and leisure: vigorous hikes with an experienced mountain guide, plenty of time spent exploring small valley towns, Michelin-starred meals and impeccable hospitality courtesy of our friends the Costas and La Perla, their magnificent mountaintop hotel. Our favourite part? Helping old friends reconnect while introducing them to a host of brand-new ones.
The World’s Greatest Aquarium
We understand that when it comes to activity level, not all travellers are created equal. Our challenge: build a trip for a multigenerational family that maximizes togetherness and active experiences. Our solution: five days in British Columbia’s Gulf Islands aboard the Pacific Yellowfin, a former coastal freighter converted into a charming wooden yacht. Zipping breezily from island to island, everyone had plenty to do; biking and kayaking for the kids, easy walks along sandy beaches and through vineyards for the grandfolks, the option of both for mom and dad, and a whale-watching expedition for the whole lot. They say families that play together stay together, and we’re always happy to provide the perfect playground.
Up Close and Personally Fun
Two families. Four adrenaline-junkie tweens. Nine thrill-packed days. Do the math and the answer adds up to Costa Rica, a Central American paradise bursting with exotic animals to meet, waterfalls to splash in, and cliffs to rappel down. (The sun-soaked beaches, deluxe lodgings and ready-when-you-are massages don’t hurt, either.) Variable pace was the guideline for this trip; the kids were rarin’ to go, while the parents were eager to take things a little slower. To satisfy everyone, our guides arranged to keep the kids busy with a bottomless bag of active options—horseback riding, snorkelling, whitewater rafting—while the adults strolled the jungles and took it easy at our beachfront hotels. Final tally: eight happy travellers.
A Time to Reconnect
Our trip planners understand that groups are as individual as their members, and know how to create an experience that works for everyone. Take for instance our recent fathers and daughters trip to Bhutan: five dads and five daughters. The dads were former schoolmates and business partners, and were keen to chat, learn about the culture, enjoy the hikes and spend quality time with their daughters. The girls? Well, to borrow a phrase, they just wanted to have fun! The group did all the planned walks and events together, but we also created some opportunities for dads and daughters to have some one-on-one time. The trip was an extraordinary opportunity both for friends and family to strengthen old bonds far from the distractions of everyday life. All with a little help from B&R.
