The way it works is pretty straightforward - the call of the open road, the sleekness of a new car, the allure of a great hotel, the intrigue of great destinations, the taste of the best food and drink - how hard can it be, right? Wrong. While the elements may all exist on their own, the magic lies in how you pull them together to orchestrate the theatre of travel. Horizon & Co. has spent the last 43 years refining the art of making the impossible look easy so that you can focus on relaxing and living in the moment.

We've been around the block a few times.  Horizon & Co. has been running small group luxury tours around the world since 1963. We built our reputation by hand-crafting exceptional journeys from the wilds of Labrador to the most remote reaches of the Tibetan plateau, and we stand behind every trip that we put on the road.

We know these destinations. And we have local friends who know them even better. Supported by a wide array of resident experts, our experienced guides take you deep into the culture of each region, whether you're listening to an impromptu concert as you feast on an private island in the Italian Lakes or hunting for snails in the Burgundian countryside as you prepare a course of classic Escargot a la Bourguignonne with a local chef.

We have friends in high (and low) places. On our Driving Adventures we work with some of the world's most prestigious automotive brands to design trips that allow the cars to perform at their peak performance level. Since we match our destinations (and especially the roads) with the character, temperament, and abilities of every automobile, we like to work with the people who actually built the cars to ensure that we get it right.

We believe in being comfortable. Our trip researchers find the best places to stay along our routes, with accommodations ranging from famed hotels to tented camps and everything in between. When we are not in our cars, we plan leisurely diversions and unique events with local characters. We also enjoy the region's cuisine as part of food experiences that are exotic without being overwhelming to Western tastes.

We plan meticulously. While you enjoy the moment, we're working behind the scenes to ensure that the expert naturalist has scouted the best wildlife-spotting trails, that the truffle hunter has his pigs ready for the hunt and that the wine-maker has opened the 20-year old Grand Cru in time to let it breathe. Our hand-picked guides are trained to take care of every detail, whether it's helping with a phone call home or radioing a helicopter to make sure that we get back to our luxury lodge in time for your massage appointment.

Relax and enjoy yourself. Behind all of our research, planning and devotion to personal service is one simple goal - to leave you free to relax and appreciate truly remarkable travel experiences. A lot of imagination goes into creating these trips, but in the end, what really counts is the imagination you bring to living them and making them your own.
