Inspired Tours:
Luxury Small Group Tours
What are Inspired Tours?
At Modern Adventure, travel is a deeply personal journey shaped by the people who experience it. Over the years, we’ve noticed something remarkable about our Tastemaker trips: the imprint of a Tastemaker endures long after the trip. Their insights, relationships, and sensibility linger in the design of the experience and have inspired our newest Inspired Tours. This collection of luxury small group tours is offered without a host but shaped by the tastemakers, artisans, and local guides. Each trip is intimate, immersive, and intentionally crafted with more flexibility and a lower price point. These experiences are infused with the relationships and insights we’ve spent years cultivating, rooted in the same values of curiosity, culture, and connection.
