Norway
Journey to an oasis of traditional Norwegian Life
AutoVenture’s specialty is guiding travelers to jewels off of the beaten path, and enriching its guests’ experiences with splendid, unexpected discoveries.
Seoul
Get a riveting, behind-the-scenes tour of the DMZ
The wall may have come down in Berlin, but the divide between North and South Korea still remains. The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a wedge driven by the Korean War — separating one people, who have the same language and ethnicity.
Buenos Aires
A la vida guacho
If you weren’t in South America, speaking Spanish, you might think you were in a European city. Buenos Aires’ wide avenues, sidewalk restaurants and vast complex of city parks (Bosques de Palermo) are almost too big to appreciate in one visit. But with your AutoVenture private car and guide, you’ll get closer to the culture and enjoy the best of Buenos Aires. You’ll quickly appreciate why the Argentines revel in the richness of their grand architecture, monuments, cuisine, futból (soccer), opera and dance.
Vienna
A dazzling display of holiday charm
Visiting Vienna is a feast for the senses no matter what time of year you visit, from its opulent palaces, incomparable classical music, expansive gardens and gourmet dining. But visit during the holidays, and your cup will runneth over with world-famous outdoor festivals and markets.
India
On Tiger Safari
For all the trials and travails facing the world’s tiger population, it’s gratifying to know that there are sanctuaries where they are protected and allowed to grow. Even better, there are exotic locations such as Northern India’s Ranthambhor National Park where travelers can see them in the wild.
Mississippi Delta
Highway 61 Revisited
Highway 61, from Memphis to Vicksburg, is catnip to musicians moved by the blues. Many aficionados and casual fans make pilgrimages to see where musicians from Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, to Bessie Smith and B.B. King learned to play and sing.
Napa
Experience the art of wine making
Some wine aficionados relish the tasting protocol of squinting, swirling, sniffing, sipping and then spitting … while others prefer to simply pop a cork, take a hearty gulp and smack their lips. No matter what your approach is to enjoying a fine glass of wine, you will have a memorable time touring bountiful Napa Valley with AutoVenture as your guide.
Vietnam
Sailing a Junk to a Magical Land
AutoVenture’s trip to Halong Bay is just a 3.5-hour drive from Hanoi, but it may as well be a time machine. Sailing a junk across Vietnam’s Halong Bay, the view from your vessel is unlike anything you’ve seen before. It’s a page out of a storybook, with the bay’s limestone pillars poking through the reflecting blue water like the spines of a sea dragon’s back; and the site of the other junks traversing the bay harkens back to another century.
Rio de Janeiro
Relish the revelry in Rio
There's no doubt you've caught a glimpse of Rio during this past week of Olympics excitement. As you can see, Rio de Janeiro is a top destination for adventurers who relish a party.
