Six cities we return to again and again, and a starting point for wherever you would like to go.
There are no fixed packages here. The places below are where many of our conversations begin; your itinerary is created only after we have spoken.
A city of two halves, joined by bridges and bathed in golden light.
Budapest rewards those who take their time: grand cafés and thermal baths, quiet courtyards, hilltop views over the Danube and evenings that begin on the riverbank. It is also the one destination where your itinerary can include a private Pearl chauffeur.
Plan your Budapest journeyImperial, musical and unhurried: elegance as a way of life.
Palaces and concert halls, legendary coffee houses and the museums of the Ringstrasse: Vienna can be a weekend of highlights or a slow week of art, music and long afternoons. We shape it around what you love most.
Plan your Vienna journeyA fairy-tale skyline with stories around every corner.
Gothic towers, baroque gardens and winding lanes that open onto unexpected squares. Whether you want its famous sights at quieter hours or the neighbourhoods beyond them, Prague is a city made for a personal plan.
Plan your Prague journeyMediterranean light, Gaudí’s architecture and long evenings by the sea.
Modernist façades and medieval lanes, markets full of colour, beaches within reach of the old town and dinners that start late. Barcelona can be a city break full of architecture or a slower stay shaped around food, art and the sea.
Plan your Barcelona journeyRoyal heritage, world-class museums and a different neighbourhood around every corner.
Palaces and parks, galleries and theatres, markets and riverside walks along the Thames. London is vast, so a plan built around your interests turns a busy city into one that feels made for you.
Plan your London journeyThe city that can be anything, which is why it deserves a plan made around you.
Skyline views, galleries, food from every corner of the world and neighbourhoods that each feel like a different city. With so much on offer, a plan built around your interests is the difference between seeing New York and enjoying it.

Visiting Central Europe in winter? Budapest, Vienna and Prague come together in our seasonal Christmas Collection.
Our featured destinations are Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Barcelona, London and New York City. We also plan journeys to other destinations on request, always around your own interests, dates and budget.
Yes. Budapest, Vienna and Prague combine especially well: the train from Budapest to Vienna takes around two and a half hours, and from Vienna to Prague about four. We plan the order, the transfers and the time in each city.
Spring (April to June) and early autumn (September and October) bring mild weather and calmer streets. December belongs to the Christmas markets, while summer is the warmest and busiest season.
Three to four days per city suit most travellers: enough for the highlights and a few slower moments. A combined journey through two or three cities usually works best over a week or more.
Your itinerary is designed around you: the order of the days, suggestions for where to stay, eat and what to experience, and how you travel between places. In Hungary a private chauffeur can be added.
