At Peregrine we offer premium adventures, and for us that means embracing the spirit of adventure through a more immersive cultural experience. It means guaranteed departures, hand-picked accommodation, intimate small groups, award-winning local guides, added inclusions and a slower, more considered pace. We’ll take you to the major highlights as well as along roads less travelled, getting you closer to the local people and the culture you came to discover. Premium stands for an exceptional experience, but never an artificial one. Some people subscribe to the theory that if it’s comfortable it isn’t an adventure. Not us. We’re all for taking the hassles and uncertainties out of group travel. From first enquiry to the final farewell dinner, you’re in safe hands. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a premium style of adventure. Your standard tour cost covers: • Guaranteed departure • All included sightseeing and entrance costs • Quality, hand-picked accommodation • A highly experienced Peregrine tour guide • Gratuities for services received as part of tour • Many meals (as indicated) • Additional specialist guides and porters • Airport arrival transfer where offered • 24-hour emergency support from our local team

GREG’S STORY “Yesterday I went under a waterfall for the first time, in a swerving and dipping Zodiac along with the other members of a small Peregrine group touring in South America. Argentina’s Iguazu Falls are spectacular, approached through jungle trails and viewable from platforms high above the river. If I’d been travelling alone, I’d have seen this magnificent prospect from above – but from below, wearing a life vest and getting drenched in a leaping boat? Like some of the other members of this group I’m not wildly adventurous, but travelling with Peregrine has made it possible to discard a few inhibitions and to have an unforgettable cultural experience. I’ve always been apprehensive about group travel and venturing outside my (mainly European) comfort

zone, but the last two weeks have changed some old perspectives. It’s been fun to travel in Peru, Argentina and Chile with a small group of likeminded people, assisted by ever-helpful and superbly informed local tour guides. More than fun, though – enriching too, because it’s a shared adventure and hence especially memorable. At the end of a long and strenuous day we’ve all enjoyed the sociable pleasure of reflecting on visiting the glories of Machu Picchu or seeing the wonder of an Amazon sunrise. There’s been a lot of lively conversation over some wonderful meals about what travel means to each of us – we often see people and places in different ways, and this range of experiences heightens what is already a rich and varied adventure.”

AWARD-WINNING LOCAL GUIDES We learnt long ago that the best way to see a destination is with the people who live there. That’s why we pioneered the concept of employing local guides: expertly trained, and with a depth and breadth of knowledge you won’t find anywhere else. Want to know the secrets of Tibetan Buddhism? Where to find the best steak

in Buenos Aires? Or what makes a Languedoc merlot so special? Your guide, and their local connections, have the answer. Along with being your ticket to really getting to the heart of the destination, our expertly trained guides are there to make your trip authentic, enjoyable and hassle-free; an adventure to remember.

JAPAN

CUBA

Less time waiting around “Because of our smaller group size, we spend less time checking into hotels and getting on (and off) transport, and more time seeing the incredible sights of Morocco!”

Unparalleled Access “We’ll get you into areas restricted to larger groups, allowing you to really immerse yourself in the authentic culture of Japan.”

Exceptional local experiences “Of course we show you Cuba’s highlights, but when the bigger tour groups get back on their coach, I use my local knowledge and connections to help you find more unique experiences.”

EXCEPTIONAL LOCAL EXPERIENCES Why travel if not for the experience? To meet people, and see and do things you can’t experience at home? We’ll start with the highlights, but when the big tour groups hop back on their coach, our local guides will help you find a more unique, personal experience.

That little hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Rome, wine tasting with vintners in Mendoza or campfire stories with Botswana’s Ghanzi bushmen – we provide immersive experiences that span 80 countries around the world.

OUR FOUNDATION Responsible travel is important to Peregrine. Through our not-for-profit Foundation, we proudly support a number of international grassroots organisations working to address issues such as education, child welfare and environmental and wildlife protection. We cover all administrative costs and match each donation dollar-for-dollar (up to AU $1,000 per donor, per year), so that all of your money goes to the project(s) of your choice.

EXCEPTIONAL ACCOMMODATION Our accommodation is hand-picked by our local destination experts for its quality, character, amenities and central location. We look for the key things: a private bathroom, good service, airconditioning and telephone/wifi facilities.

While local standards often vary between countries, you can rest assured that you’ll always have a comfortable place to rest your head at the end of a day of exploring.
