My TTC Top Ten


The Travel Corporation Top Ten https://thetravelcorporation.com/topten/
Take Nothing but Pictures, Leave Nothing but Footsteps

With the ease and affordability of air travel today, many of us have travelled many times more than our parents and grandparents and hence have developed deep impression on some destinations we visited.

On last count, I have travelled to 44 countries and visited over 350 cities in my 41 years in the business but realised that there are still many destinations I have not been to. I am so glad all these destinations are covered by The Travel Corporation family of brands.

Here are my personal choices

1. Insight Vacations' Eastern Capitals & The Dalmatian Rivera. Am BOOKED to travel with a group of like-minded friends on the 1st departure.
 
 
 

2. CASTLES ALONG THE RHINE - 8 DAYS FROM BASEL TO AMSTERDAM with Uniworld Boutique River Cruise. Cruise along the Rhine—Germany on one side, France on the other. Discover Alsace, whose dual French and German heritage has given it fabulous food and a winemaking tradition that goes back to the Romans. Marvel at castles that were once mighty fortresses and get an insider’s look at one of the only castles on the Rhine that has never been destroyed, Marksburg Castle. Visit historic cities, including ancient Cologne and picturesque Strasbourg; stroll through the fairytale town of Rüdesheim; and taste delightful white wines in the villages where the grapes are grown. Beethoven and Byron loved the romantic landscapes of the Rhine River, and the beauty that inspired them is still to experience.
 
 
3. Art Culture & Cuisine of Columbia Summer 2020 - One of the new destinations by Insight Luxury Gold that appeals to repeat travellers like myself. Having attended the presentation by His Excellency the Ambassador of Columbia. I am even more determined to travel to this beautiful destination with Luxury Gold 
 



4. South America Revealed with Trafalgar South America -visiting Brazil, Peru, Argentina which I have never visited.

6. Trafalgar's  Highlights for Peru - 8 Days.
Inca treasures, wild landscapes and ancient legends are brought to life in the Sacred Valley, centuries-old ruins of Machu Picchu and the charismatic capital streets of Lima.
