GET CLOSER TO THE RACE

Most people watch the Tour de France from a roadside barrier or follow Strade Bianche on a screen. Our Special Departure tours put you inside both—on the race routes, at the finishes, and closer to the action than any general ticket allows.

Spain & Portugal Hiking: Camino de Santiago

History underfoot on the paths of pilgrims The Camino de Santiago, a network of ancient routes converging at the shrine of St. James in northwestern Spain, is the holy grail of pilgrimage treks. This tour offers highlights from three distinct Camino paths—the Camino Francés, Camino del Norte, and Camino Portugués, each with its own allure.

Quote by Edward, April 2025
“There were so many highlights...reaching the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela was deeply moving—the culmination of an incredible journey, steeped in history and pilgrimage tradition.”

—Edward, April 2025
