Independent travel studio · Est. 2016

Trips with room to look around.

We plan walking weeks, harbour cities, and long weekends for people who would rather know one valley well than tick twelve capitals.

Three ways we travel

Every departure is paced for daylight, decent meals, and one unplanned afternoon.

01 — Walking

Footpaths & farm stays

Day stages of 12–18 km, luggage moved ahead, inns chosen for supper as much as for the bed.

02 — Cities

A week in one neighbourhood

One apartment, a market route, a museum pass, and a list of tables that still take walk-ins.

03 — Coast

Ferries, coves, slow trains

Island hopping without the sprint. Swim when the weather allows; museums when it does not.

Featured 2026

Lisbon to the Arrábida hills

Seven nights. Tram 28 only once, on purpose. The rest is bakeries in Ajuda, a day on the Setúbal coast, and a long lunch in a former fish warehouse.

Departures: 12 Apr · 3 May · 14 Sep · from £1,890 pp, twin share
