PAINTING WALKING SINGING SIGHTSEEING HOLIDAYS
Your mid-year Authentic update You might not think that there’d be much we could squeeze into eight pages, but trust us when we say there’s more to this deceptively diminutive newsletter than meets the eye... Because this isn’t just an update, it’s a passport. Flick through these pages and be instantly transported to the Moorish splendour of Andalucía (p.5); the wild mountains of southern Italy and cloud-wreathed peaks of Nepal (p.8); and our almost-continental cousin, the beach-fringed island of Jersey (p.3), with nary a queue or baggage check in sight. Of course, you’ll need the real thing when it comes to taking advantage of our late availability. Everything else (well, almost everything else) can be left up to us — keep reading for an up-to-date list of our tours with spaces still left for the rest of the year, handily arranged in date order. Painters can still set up their easels on sun-drenched Croatian peninsulas and lush Keralan hillsides; hikers are cordially invited to pack their walking boots for rambles in Italy’s craggy and colourful ‘five lands’; and there are high notes aplenty for our singers in Umbria or India, all in the remaining months of 2017. Turn to p.7 to see the full selection, and let the planning commence.
But as much as we enjoy reminiscing about our roots (and routes) and heralding our still-to-come sojourns, there’s yet more to be excited about in this edition of the Authentic Adventures newsletter. Because for the first time, we’re inviting you to have your say on next year’s programme — after all, who better to decide what our guests want to see than...well, our guests? On p.4, we’ve listed a few of our fledgling ideas for 2018 tours, complete with conundrums. What month makes the most of Saint-Malo? You decide. Madrid or Barcelona for our Spanish singing holiday? Pick your side. “Yee-ha!” or “hell nah” to a country-themed Nashville extension on our New Orleans tour? Up to you, partner. All in all, we think it’s safe to say that there’s a lot going on here at Authentic Adventures, and we’d love for you to get involved! For the answers to any questions, to book your place on any tour for this year or next, or to add our brand new luxury chauffeured transfers to your already set-in-stone journey (see overleaf for the finer details), don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re reachable 9am–5pm, Monday to Friday, on 01453 823328 or at info@authenticadventures.co.uk.
