Travel Differently: It's About The Journey, Not The Destination

Explore the world by land and you'll get an entirely different perspective than you would if you were to travel by water or rail. Here, at Andante, we know that getting to the heart of a destination is something that can be achieved in different ways, which is why we have a selection of tours that use various modes of transportation to showcase landscape, terrain and even history in new and interesting ways.

We've rounded up a few of our favourite experiences, which could see you explore remote sites in a fleet of 4x4s, ride aboard an iconic train and cruise amazing waterways as a passenger on a motorlaunch boat.
