Our Guides

Your guide is one of the most important parts of your travel experience.  That is why we only use local experts who have a history of working with our clients and whom we know personally.  They speak perfect English and are experts on the museums, palaces, and all other sites of interest.  We are extremely particular in choosing our guides and are confident that your guide on an Exeter International trip will be one of the most memorable aspects of your vacation. 

Extraordinary Experiences

Simply put, the Exeter International difference is all about taking you behind the scenes to show you that which you could not have found on your own. We will open doors that normally do not open for travelers and we will make the introductions that will make your trip unforgettable. 

We can arrange the ultimate behind the scene experiences - from a performance at the Mariinsky Ballet in St. Petersburg in the Tsars box to marionette making classes with a local artist in Prague or an insider’s tour of the Berlin art scene with a local expert. Exeter can create all of this and more.

Our Preferred Hotels

We only recommend centrally located, deluxe hotels with superior service, food, security and management.  In destinations where internationally known brands are not represented, we aim to recommend  boutique hotels with character. Each year new hotels open throughout our region, and we refer you to our website for detailed descriptions and photography of all our preferred hotels. When planning your trip, our travel experts will discuss the various options with you.
