Why Travel With B&R

Since 1966.

Our trips are expertly planned and guided

Everyone at B&R, from office staff to guides on the ground, is committed to creating the best possible experience for your trip. From your first enquiry until you are comfortably back at home, our team is by your side and ready for any request. S

ort out a wine shipment or snag reservations at the most exclusive restaurant in town? We’re on it. 

B&R trips are perfected thanks to our award-winning Experience Designers, who are

celebrated for their deep knowledge of the regions they work in and their local networks who make magic a reality. They personally test out the cycling and walking routes, restaurants and hotels that we use to ensure they’re worthy of your holiday. 

Personal connection is a priority

Whether you’re travelling on one of our Scheduled departures or working with one of our Experience Designers to create a Bespoke adventure tailor-made for your group, your reasons for travelling matter to us. From our first conversation, we take time to understand your goals for your holiday, so that we can create the best experience possible for you.  

When active, you’ll have the freedom to go as fast or as slow as you want and to make adjustments along the way.

And because our Scheduled trips attract like-minded people, we also embrace experiences on the road that foster new friendships and form community. Don’t be surprised if you start making plans for a reunion before your first trip has ended. 

Responsible, sustainable travel matters to us

Responsible, sustainable travel matters to us

Every B&R itinerary is thoughtfully designed, with our impact on the communities we visit top of mind. We believe travel should enrich both those doing the travelling and the destinations they visit. Our routes intentionally take you to smaller towns and through quieter routes to the heart of the places you’re visiting to avoid contributing to overtourism. 

We also invest in the communities we visit through the Slow Fund, our initiative to support local projects that focus on education, culture, conservation and preservation.

We’re powered by passion

Creativity and passion drive us to build unforgettable experiences into every part of every trip we plan. Whether it’s a chance meeting with local friends, including artists, winemakers and village mayors, finding a spectacular setting for an al fresco lunch, or a kitchen tour at a Michelin-starred restaurant, our goal is to exceed your expectations—and then do it again.  

Our thirst for exploration is insatiable and why we’ve been doing this for over 50 years. The world is always changing, and how we explore it changes, too. What stays the same is our desire to create the best experiences for our travellers and the communities we visit.
