No city in the world can compete with Moscow right now for energy, glamour and sheer exuberance. Along with grand architecture and magnificent cultural treasures, the Russian capital also boasts exquisite restaurants and cutting-edge bars known only to a select few. To get the most out of Moscow, you'll need a well-connected guide who can open doors for you and get you beyond the velvet rope. Look no further than Quintessentially. We'll design a personalised Moscow city break package for you where you can have your own private cultural concierge to show you how to circumvent the crowds, what to do and how. Our guides will show you the greatest historical treasures of the Tretyakov and the modern masterpieces in the State Pushkin Museum. This, and much more.
Banyan Tree Lijiang and Ringha make for a fascinating combination to explore China’s history. Located in China’s once remote south east, Lijiang’s winding canals and centuries old streets have earned it the epithet “Venice of the East” and a rating on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Stay at the Banyan Tree to experience the old town’s historical charm, mesmerizing landscape, spectacular views of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Complete your journey through Yunnan with a stay at Banyan Tree Ringha on the Tibetan plains of mystical Shangri-La, 3,200m above sea level.
Have you ever thought of traveling along the Garden Route in South Africa by train? Now you can. A picturesque 550-kilometre 24-hour steam train trip runs between Cape Town and George during the summer months, the trip is rated one of the most beautiful in the world. From the Mother City, the train travels through the Du Toits Kloof tunnel towards Worcester. Grapes are grown in vast quantities in this area, and apart from several co-operative wine cellars, there are a number of brandy distilleries. The KWV Brandy Distillery is visited on the George to Cape Town leg. The train continues along the Breê River Valley towards Robertson and then onto Ashton. On the Cape Town to George leg, a stop is made here to sample the wines of a local wine estate. Simply delightful.
Have you ever seen what the world looks like from 29,500 ft at the summit of Mount Everest? No? We didn't think so. If, like us, it's on your list of things to do before you die, then we have just the trip for you. This September, you can be one of the first people to jump out of a plane at the height of Mount Everest, right beside the majestic mountain, and land in the highest drop zone on earth. When we say this has never been done before, we are completely serious. The fact that nobody has ever attempted this skydive before means you will be making history.
