Welcome to our Grandest

‘Grand Journey’ of All Time

Welcome to Butterfield & Robinson, the ne plus ultra of active luxury travel. We bike. We hike. We boat. We’ll even dogsled. Whatever it takes to experience a region up close and in deep. Our insatiable curiosity is matched only by our taste for travelling in style and comfort. Your time is precious. So we make your journey jaw-dropping at every turn.

Travelling with B&R

Slow down to see the world

We slow down. We see more. We soak up the very best each region has to offer. Here are the hallmarks of every B&R trip:

Creative Adventures

Every B&R trip is an imaginative, unforgettable opus. Everyone from B&R who touches your trip imbues it with passion, creativity and surprises (the good kind).

Legendary Guides

Our guides don't just lead extraordinary trips—they lead extraordinary lives. They're consummate hosts and some of the most fun people you'll ever meet.

Extraordinary Routes

Some companies have trip planners. But us? We have Experience Designers—and when we say "experience," we mean it in every sense of the word.

Cultural Immersion

We don't just dip your toe in the water—we completely submerge you. We make sure you don't just see the world, you experience it. Profoundly.

Unique Stays

Tired? Wind down in world-class hotels. Inspired? Stay in artful, one-of-a-kind places. Think ancient castles, riads, monasteries, palaces and kasbahs, and you're on the right track.

Gastronomic Excellence

We would never subject your palate to what's merely palatable. We’ll go to any length to make sure you savour some of the very best meals of your life.

The guides really bring the destinations to life.

Butterfield & Robinson are the best in the business.

Butterfield & Robinson are the best in the business. Their service is exceptional. Their attention to detail is best-in-class. The accommodations were comfortable. The guides, tastings, barrel making, and cooking classes all made us feel culturally integrated in a way we could have never imagined.

No other company comes close in providing special memories.

With Butterfield & Robinson, there's always a special event or experience that we couldn't do ourselves, and no other company has come close in providing those special memories. This was our 8th trip with B&R, and we're looking forward to the next one already!
