The Renaissance of Elegant Travel

There has never been a better time to travel to Eastern Europe and Russia – stunning new hotels are opening at an ever-faster rate, fine dining has reached new heights and cultural sights are being restored to their former glory throughout the continent. In fact, if you haven’t been to this part of the world for more than four years, you really haven’t been there at all!

We know that travelers are looking for experiences that go beyond the ordinary. No one wants to be a “tourist” and we arrange our programs so that you never feel like one. The thought of a bus carrying forty tourists together or a group walking through a museum following a guide holding an umbrella is something we wouldn’t wish upon any traveler and we won’t do it to our guests. The Exeter International experience is about finding that perfect, yet hidden café and meeting the director of an art gallery who leads the local art scene. It’s about going into places where the general public isn’t allowed (look for our Exeter International Extraordinary Experiences) and having the perfect guide to point out things that aren’t in any guidebook.

Judging from the acclaim we have received in Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Departures, Food + Wine, the Los Angeles Times and Town & Country Travel, we are doing our job.  We are proud to have been listed since 2001 on both the Condé Nast Traveler Special Agents list and the Travel + Leisure A-List of Travel Agents, and we are the only company to be listed on both lists for Russia and Eastern Europe.

We are very excited to be introducing several new small group itineraries, including a trip through Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro (The Alps to the Adriatic), Berlin, Dresden and Poland (Noble Prussia) and Kiev with Moscow and St Petersburg (Imperial Capitals). We are also introducing several new destinations for individual travelers, including Lake Baikal and Kamchatka in Russia, Slovakia, and the Russian Riviera of Crimea.

We hope you find an itinerary of interest on our website or in our brochure, but if you don’t, we’ll be glad to craft a journey to just about any part of our world that meets your particular needs. We thank you for considering a trip with us and we look forward to showing you a new world beyond your expectations.

Sincerely yours,

Gregory Tepper
President
