Why B&R
Almost 60 years ago, we pioneered a whole new way to see the world: biking and walking from one exquisite hotel to the next on quiet country lanes (while someone else schleps all the bags!). Since then, we've remained the leading innovator in active luxury travel because we know how to find rare, quiet and off-Google places where you can make deep new connections—with our local friends, the people you’re travelling with, and of course, yourself. In short, we Slow Down to See the World. And we'd love for you to come along.
Our (Insanely Fun) Guides
B&R guides help you embrace spontaneity, delve deep into the local culture, and soak up every experience. They are consummate hosts, and some of the most fun and convivial people you’ll ever meet.
Our Experience Designers
Our Experience Designers have spent years immersing themselves in their regions, and know every country lane, quiet path and jaw-dropping view like the back of their hand.
Unique Hotels
Our hotels aren’t generic five-stars—we search long and hard for hotels that are experiences unto themselves. Our groups are small so we can stay in intimate, one-of-a-kind gems.
Cultural Immersion
We help you bond with all our local friends—the best chefs, vintners, organic farmers, historians, architects and artists—and slip you in the back door of everywhere worth going.
Your Pace
At B&R, you always go at your own pace. You don’t feel any pressure to stick with the peloton because, well, there is no peloton. And the support van? Always there when you need it.
Fabulous Food and Wine
We don’t just soak up the local culture, we ingest it. Grilling squid on the beach with the fisherman who caught it? Dining in and 800-year-old wine cellar with the vintner? That’s more our palate.
