In Valletta, you can immerse yourself in time-honored Maltese culinary traditions by visiting a village bakery, two local farms and beautiful olive grove during the Maltese Food & Wine tour.

For those wanting to explore some of Northern Europe’s marquee ports in new ways, the Let’s Spend a Morning in the Real Bordeaux tour is the perfect answer, inviting you to join the locals at the buzzing Marché des Capucins food market, the colorful Les Puces de Saint Michel flea market as well as a special collection of antique shops in the neighborhood.
