There are countless ways to enjoy India and we’re keen on all of them. Our natural history tour takes you on jeep and elephant-back rides in the Project Tiger reserve of Ranthambore National Park, to see langur monkeys at Bandhavgarh, and over 300 species of birds wintering at Keoladeo…
And of course, we take in the extraordinary Taj Mahal and some of the most fascinating villages and cities from Jaipur to Kanha. If you’re thinking of a getaway this fall, this could be just the right thing.

As part of our commitment to responsible travel, Worldwide Quest supports Canadian Feed the Children, an independent registered charity with a mission to reduce the impact of poverty on children.
In November 2010, the CFTC is taking a very special group of donors and friends to Bolivia to visit the projects they support and to get to know this country from a unique, authentic perspective. We invite you to join this trip and support the work CFTC is doing.

“Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast” (Epictetus: 55 – 135AD). We think that’s excellent advice and what better way to travel than on a movable feast. We have a wonderful line-up of GastroNomad tours for you starting with Gail Hall’s trip to Greece and Turkey in October 2010 (there is still limited space available for a quick get-away).
In February Linda Stephen takes you to North India to taste and tour from a foodie’s perspective. And in March Sara Waxman invites you to join her in Shanghai and Hong Kong – she’s just back from a scouting mission there and has uncovered some really special food experiences.

Of all the corners of the world we’ve been to, we think Chile might just hold the record for stunning scenery, especially if you give extra points for variety. From a desert where no rain has fallen, ever, to bounteous lakes and ice-capped volcanoes, the longest country in the world has it all. Join Marguerite Low on a January getaway to Chile.
We’re taking you to from the Atacama Desert in the far north, to the fairy-tale Lake District and the colossal glaciers of Patagonia. And top it off with a visit to mysterious Easter Island, the world’s most remote inhabited island.
