Intellectual Tourism
It’s not about scratching the surface or ticking boxes. It’s about going in with open eyes, listening to the people who live there, experiencing life as they live it and learning as much as possible along the way.
Why InTo?
Curiosity and immersion are the principles which guide Intellectual Tourism. For many people, travel is often nothing more than a brief encounter, seeing 'the sites' and 'crossing off' the popular locations of interest - been there, done that! We prefer to see travel as an adventure which involves respect, fascination and wonder. We invite you to deep dive into local history, customs, food, music, art and experience the unique cultures of these vibrant spaces and places.
What Do We Do?
Put simply, we create immersive experiences. We encourage you to become part of a different world, a different way of living and to see the world through the eyes of another. By coming with us, we hope to create 'resonances' between your curiosity and where you are. Our trips are often organised around particular concepts, themes or subjects. They can focus on specific periods in time. You can expect to take part in workshops, hikes, tours, wine tastings, cooking, art classes. You might find yourself in abandoned towns, subway systems, performances, graveyards… you name it, we’ve probably got a trip for it! And if we haven't, we'll create one especially for you. You’ll be guaranteed to experience a cornucopia of delights all geared toward the INtelligent traveler.
Where Do We Go?
For 2025, we are planning adventures in Bruges, Lisbon, Naples, Prague, Strasbourg and Vienna. We will be expanding our portfolio in 2026 to include Budapest, Dublin, Edinburgh, Oxford, Reykjavik and Stockholm.
