The original gap year. Ever heard of The Grand Tour? (Not the TV show about cars!)

It was a custom of the 17th-19th centuries to aid upper class young men in becoming more cultured by embarking on a tour of the culturally rich European cities with the company of a tutor.

Our Europe trip is the perfect modern day equivalent, open to everybody, and whisking you round some of the most iconic sites and cities of Europe!

Always great to be back out in Peru on another 7-week South America Explorer 🇵🇪🇪🇨

Our group have already enjoyed the streets of Cusco and got stuck into some Spanish language lessons whilst staying in local home-stays… the PERFECT way to spend your Gap Year 🙌
