The Grand Tour was a travel term invented by an Englishman, Richard Lessels, in his 1670 book Voyage to Italy. Our own Grand Tours are designed with the history of travel in mind.

Travel to Moscow Russia, Central and Eastern Europe and the Near East - at Exeter International this is our specialty.

In the age of the internet and the virtual tour, when there is so much information available about where to go and what to see, we like to think that you need people like us to make sure that your own travel experience is exactly as it should be.

Within the regions that we cover, you can explore whatever it is that you might have long wanted to know more about.

A tailor-made tour with Exeter International is about exploring what has not yet been experienced by you, the individual.

We can design a travel itinerary for you that takes you to all of the places that are on your must-see list, and suggest to you some places which you might not know about.

Choose from one of our suggested tours or call us for a bespoke itinerary.

Perhaps you don't have a specific programme in mind, just a hankering to see a particular city or region, Moscow and Russia for example; Exeter International will provide you with your own 'foot-tracker', someone who knows the territory well, no matter that this might be the medieval centre of Brasov, or the island of Korcula.

We can escort you backstage at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, we can get you into the Faceted Palace and Terem in Moscow, even into the library of the Strahov Monastery in Prague...travel with Exeter International is all about exploration.
