ABOUT USAt World Journeys our mission is simple: we design journeys that we, as travellers, would undertake ourselves. In our youth, we travelled the world on a budget, arriving into cities late at night with nothing pre-arranged, battling through bureaucracy and language barriers to prove we could do it on our own. In later years we found, like many, that we had less time to travel, let alone the luxury of having time to plan our travel. That’s what inspires World Journeys today. We plan journeys so you don’t have to. Itineraries are crafted on our personal knowledge and experience. We are travel aficionados: we have worked in the industry for over 30 years, and we still travel regularly to be able to bring new and exciting opportunities to the market. We won’t stop travelling: not only is it our passion, it is our job to provide the very best level of service and knowledge. In fact, we generally won’t sell a destination unless someone from our team has been there.

ANGELA PIRIEWith a background in group travel logistics and product research, Ange is dedicated to ensuring that your journey is personalised and consistently exceeds expectations. Travelling to inspiring destinations, testing amazing accommodation, and having life-changing experiences rate highly. A few of Ange’s highlights are hot air ballooning over the Serengeti, swimming with dolphins in Zanzibar, and on a recent trip to Myanmar, e-biking around the temples of Bagan.

BRETT BARCLAYWith nearly 30 years in travel, Brett has visited over 100 countries but the bucket list keeps growing! Highlights include being in the Rio Carnival, exploring West Africa, and being immersed in Japanese culture in ryokans (traditional inns). Brett is an avid cruiser, a rail buff, and a huge fan of family travel (as his son can testify!). Latest adventures include Ethiopia, “One of the most fascinating countries I have ever been to”, an expedition cruise to Antarctica, and meeting the mountain gorillas of Uganda.

CHRIS LYONSThe ‘veteran’ of the organisation, Chris started his travelling career in the mid 1970’s, spending over a year travelling Central and South America, a part of the world for which he has a real passion, and a region he returns to regularly. Fascinated with history and archaeology, Chris has delighted in exploring historical treasures including Angkor Wat, Machu Picchu, and the Persepolis ruins. Many years of hosting tours means Chris has a real understanding of the needs of every traveller.

KATE COULINGWith a 12 month OE that somehow stretched out to 12 years, Kate has a particular passion for the history, people, and culture of North Africa and the Middle East, even choosing to live in the region long enough to learn Arabic. However, she is equally content getting lost in the lanes and alleys of Venice Island or Saint-Germain-des-Pres, chatting to child monks in Bhutan, or staring transfixed at the moai on Easter Island. If travel is a bug, Kate is delighted to have caught it.

Here we showcase journeys to some of the most exciting, fascinating, and exotic places on earth. They are our personal suggestions of what to do, what to see, and where to stay. We know travellers value flexibility so we generally have no set departure dates, and itineraries are not regimented: journeys can be tailor-made to suit your needs. We offer professional planning and expert knowledge, working with you to create your dream trip. Our backup services take the stress out of travel; if your flight is delayed or transport doesn’t show, we’ll sort out the arrangements.

STAR RATINGS

We consider a variety of criteria in our selection of accommodation, including location, style, ambience, comfort, service, and facilities. Star ratings differ widely around the world, so we have allocated categories based on typical standards, our own personal recommendations, and value for money.3 Star – simple accommodation with adequate facilities, sometimes the best available in the area.4 Star – comfortable accommodation with good service and facilities.5 Star – deluxe accommodation with top service and excellent facilities.6 Star – exceptional properties rating amongst the best in the world with stunning outlook, outstanding service, unique features, and superb facilities.

GROUP JOURNEYS

In addition to our tailor-made journeys we offer some group tours which make travel to certain destinations more achievable and allow you to meet people from all over the world!

HOSTED JOURNEYS

Our hosted journeys allow you to enjoy unique and inspiring small group travel to some of the most fascinating places on earth. There’s something for everyone, including our new journey to Persia and the Silk Road. These journeys are guaranteed to go with a maximum group size of 18 and a World Journeys host to smooth the way. Ask about our ‘Hosted Journeys 2020’ brochure.

SPECIAL INTEREST JOURNEYS

We offer a range of special interest travel focusing on wildlife, wellness, cuisine, active holidays, rail, or cruises, which can be found on our website.

YOUR DOCUMENTS

To make sure you always know what you’re doing and where you’re going while you’re travelling, you will be sent beautifully prepared travel documents. These documents detail your day-by-day itinerary and include everything you need for a hassle-free journey. You will receive a travel wallet along with a World Journeys luggage tag.

SCOTLAND BY RAIL | 7 DAYSSince Victorian times, Scotland’s West Highland Line has borne savvy travellers from the vibrant, sophisticated Lowland metropolis of Glasgow into some of Scotland’s most dramatic and distinctive vistas.

DAY 1 GLASGOWJoin your fellow travellers this evening for a welcome dinner hosted by your tour leader.

Step off at Fort William and glimpse nearby Ben Nevis on your transfer to the southern shores of Loch Ness. Stretch your legs with a walk to a stirring memorial for WW2 commandos.

DAY 3 LOCH NESSHead to the historic village of Dores on the loch’s lesser-visited side. En route you’ll stop at the Falls of Foyers, tumbling 60m through sylvan woods. End the afternoon amid 1000 years of history at the ruins of Urquhart Castle. Imagine ancient feasts in the Great Hall, then take in some final loch vistas from atop the Grant Tower before returning to Fort Augustus.

DAY 4 FORT AUGUSTUS > ISLE OF SKYEBoard the Jacobite steam train to complete your trip on the West Highland Line. Tick off Britain’s deepest freshwater loch (Loch Morar), shortest river (River Morar) plus the deepest seawater loch in Europe (Loch Nevis) along the shore where Bonnie Prince Charlie landed in 1745.

Before boarding, you’ll stop to admire the 13th century Eilean Donan Castle, perched exquisitely on a loch islet.

Beyond the ancient city of Perth – Scotland’s capital for five centuries – rolling fields and lush woods usher you towards the Firth of Forth, crossed with the distinctive metal filigree of the iconic Forth Rail Bridge.
