Unique experiences

Journeys that exist nowhere else

Three decades of award-winning journeys, in the company of the best in their field.

Ephesus, where Paul taught for two years (Acts 19).

Biblical heritage

In the Footsteps of St. Paul

Our renowned religious programme follows the apostle across the lands where his story took place: Tarsus, where he was born; Antioch, where the word "Christian" was first spoken; Ephesus, where he taught for two years; and the roads and early churches between. Expert guides, carefully paced itineraries, and quiet time at the sites that matter most.

Jewish heritage

The Jewish Heritage of Türkiye

Five centuries after Sultan Bayezid II welcomed the Sephardim of 1492, Türkiye's Jewish story is living history. Our curated journeys visit the grand Neve Shalom and the Ashkenazi Synagogue in İstanbul, Beth Israel, Algazi and Yanbol in İzmir, and the Grand Synagogue of Edirne, among the largest in Europe, each carrying its own Ottoman inflection.
