Master the art of travel with these tailored trips

Travel represents endless possibility. You could step into the wilds, tracking tigers through India's Kanha National Park or coming face to face with gorillas in Uganda; or you could immerse yourself in local culture, spending an afternoon in a Peruvian toymaker's workshop or retreating to unspoilt coastal villages on Indonesia's Sumba Island. You might take time to embrace traditional wellness rituals, such as an authentic hammam in Morocco or wellbeing retreats in the jungles of Peru; or you might indulge your taste buds with food-focused tours of vibrant street markets in Cambodia and foraging trips to find your own ingredients for a cooking class in the pastoral Italian countryside. Perhaps you'll tap into your inner adventurer and set off on an exhilarating two-week voyage in the Antarctic or climb Kilimanjaro; or perhaps you'll choose a slower pace, exploring Vietnam by rail, driving an electric Porsche through the fjords of Norway or cycling amid the dramatic vistas of the Himalayas.

All these adventures – and many, many more – can be curated for you through True Travel. From the skyscrapers of Singapore and the rugged, extraordinary beauty of the Australian outback to the pure white snows and glimmering glaciers of Antarctica, this boutique tour company invites curious explorers to discover the most incredible places on every continent.

As anyone who's ever faced the daunting task of planning a group getaway will tell you, no two people travel quite alike. So why, when booking a trip, should you be limited to cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all itineraries? True Travel offers a different service entirely: with every booking, its experts start from a blank piece of paper to ensure that your travel plans are tailored exactly to your preferences. Whether you're longing for high-octane adventures or seeking rest and relaxation, True Travel will create a journey orchestrated to meet your every desire.

Part of the reason why the company is able to offer this kind of bespoke service is down to its small, independent team. Each member specialises in a different location: they might have lived there previously or visit frequently, but they'll certainly know it inside out. Thanks to their vast expertise, you'll be able to truly immerse yourself in local culture, accessing the authentic side of a destination that most travellers never get to see. You'll also be in constant communication with the team, from the trip designers who'll consult with you on your likes and dislikes to turn the broad strokes of your journey into a beautifully crafted itinerary to the trip tailors, who'll open their little black books to make sure you've got the best seats in the best restaurant in the neighbourhood. On the ground, a network of guides will ensure you see a different angle of even the most popular tourist hotspots, creating totally unique experiences and unforgettable memories.

True Travel also demonstrates a deep respect and appreciation for the people who call these incredible places home. Its carefully chosen selection of cultural activities, such as staying in an ecolodge deep in the Amazon or visiting a Tokyo fish market to procure ingredients for a sushi-making class, put money directly into the pockets of local communities and independent businesses. Travelling with a positive impact is part of the company's ethos. Every client who makes a booking has the opportunity to directly contribute funds to the True Travel Foundation, through which young girls are inspired to continue their education with the Female Empowerment Programme in Zambia, and children who formerly lived on the streets or were forced into child labour in Jaipur are given essential supplies thanks to the Rucksack Project. Climate-conscious travellers can even offset the carbon emissions of their entire trip with a donation to the Seagrass Restoration Programme, Seawilding – the seagrass meadows in Scotland's Loch Craignish sequester carbon at 35 times the rate of rainforests.

A dream trip, whether you're exploring the remote glaciers or scorching deserts, should feel like your trip, curated for you and you alone. If you're seeking a travel experience that goes beyond the expected, while having a positive impact on the communities and places you visit, True Travel is the way to go.
