A Signature Series tour is built around one expert’s view of a destination. Here’s what makes the format genuinely different.

What makes a Signature Series tour different

The host is the starting point. These tours are designed and led by figures with genuine authority in their field – chefs, broadcasters, cultural experts – who conduct real research trips before a single seat goes on sale. The single-departure structure means everyone on board booked the same itinerary on the same day, with the same anticipation.

Who Signature Series tours are for

Travellers who want more from their guide than logistics – someone who can explain why the food in Hanoi differs from Saigon in ways that go beyond broth consistency.

What’s included on a Signature Series tour

Accommodation is handpicked by the host rather than assigned by category, and experiences are built around the host’s specific connections. Inclusions vary by host and itinerary, so check the specifics before booking.

How to book a Signature Series tour

These tours have one departure and limited seats, with no repeat. If a departure aligns with a destination and host you want, the decision window is shorter than a rolling small-group tour.
