Bike through the Alps
Austrian Tyrol | Day 7
In winter, the best way to get around the Austrian Tyrol is on skis or a board, but when the sun shines and the mountainsides are in bloom, hop on a bike and explore the winding streams, off road paths and trout farms. When you get back to the gasthof, reward your efforts with an outdoor BBQ.

Explore winding waterways
Venice, Italy | Day 5
The best way to explore the winding waterways of Venice is of course by the iconic gondola, a traditional Venetian rowing boat which was the main form of transportation back when Venice was the trading capital of the world. Today, the rich tradition lives on through gondoliers, who carry you through the dreamy canals on their self-owned, beautiful boats. They’ll even sing you a traditional song, if you want. Does life get any more romantic than this?
Go on a ‘Passeggiata’ & Aperitivo Tour
Venice, Italy | Day 5
A 'passeggiata' is an Italian tradition of a leisurely evening stroll, usually for the purpose of socialising. Explore the floating city when the sun goes down on this Hidden Venice passeggiata, in which you’ll also taste all of the local flavours. From mouthwatering ‘cicchetti’ bites, washed down with prosecco, to tiny meatballs and tramezzini, this is the perfect way to get a taste of a culinary culture while falling in love with Venice’s unique charms.
