Epicurious travel: active journeys, authentic experiences, fabulous food and wine and a touch of luxury. Our expertly guided small group walking and cycling holidays in Australia, Italy, Spain and India offer unique, luxury adventures with an emphasis on a high level of personal attention and service. Our tours are designed to immerse you in the local culture and landscape to reveal the true spirit of a region and offer you a travel experience that is inspiring, unique and deeply rewarding.

In Australia, Epicurious takes you on the Great Ocean Walk to explore the magnificent coastline along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road. On this nature walk you are likely to see Australian native wildlife like koalas, kangaroos, kookaburras and cockatoos. On our trek along the Larapinta Trail in the Central Australia, discover the mystique of the Australian outback, with its 40,000-year-old Aboriginal culture. We take you from Alice Springs through the West MacDonnell Ranges, a trail that Australian Geographic has listed as one of the best arid zone walks in the world. If biking is your passion or just a whim come with us on a luxury accommodated food and wine cycling tour to Milawa in the gourmet district of Victoria. We cycle the beautiful ‘Murray to Mountains Rail Trail’ and enjoy the best wineries and restaurants in the area.

In Italy, we base ourselves in a private villa in Tuscany to walk through the beautiful Chianti region between Florence and Siena. We truly savour the ‘dolce vita’ throughout Italy, experiencing its hidden treasures with our very special tours in Umbria, Venice, the Amalfi Coast and Sicily.

In Spain, our walking tour along the famous ‘Camino de Santiago’ takes you across the Pyrenees Mountains to Santiago de Compostela. Known to many as the ‘pilgrims’ trail’, this walk has special cultural and historical significance. Our walking trip in Andalucía takes in the Moorish southern cities of Seville, Granada and Cordoba, where we trek through some of the most spectacular National Parks in Spain.

Our new tours in the Indian subcontinent are a feast for the senses with our Cultural and Culinary tour of the beautiful state of Kerala and our Shakti Himalaya Village Walks offer a unique experience of an untouched culture amidst spectacular scenery in the Indian Himalaya.
