Aiken Trips: Small Group Tours
We have learned that the hardest part isn't booking the ticket, it's taking that first step without going at it alone. Hosted Travel is built for people who value their independence but also appreciate good company. Our mission is to help people who've been meaning to travel actually do it, without the usual compromises. If you're ready but haven't found the right way to go, this might be it. We'd love for you to join us on one of our Hosted Travel Experiences.

Portugal
We've built this trip around authentic encounters in Portugal's southern wine country: intimate tastings at family vineyards in both Alentejo and the Algarve, immersive exploration of historic Évora's UNESCO World Heritage sites, e-biking through the Algarve countryside to meet traditional dried fruit producers and local bakers, and family-style lunches showcasing regional flavors. The journey takes you from Alentejo's acclaimed wine estates to the Algarve's scenic coastal and inland wine regions. Portugal's mild, sunny April weather means you can enjoy it all comfortably

Between ports, enjoy white-glove service, exceptional dining, and the kind of onboard amenities that make the journey as memorable as the destinations. Starting in Seoul means you get two incredible cultures in one trip.
