Boots & Bridges

Boots & Bridges is a travel company specialising in premium group travel with a focus on educational and historical exploration. Created for lifelong learners, their journeys are designed to provide in-depth insights into human history by working with academic experts and professional local guides. These journeys aim to provide context and clarity to historical events, effectively bridging the gap between the past and the present. A unique aspect of Boots & Bridges is its pre-trip preparation, which includes a series of YouTube-style video lectures. These videos are designed to give travellers a solid grounding in the theme of the trip before they arrive. Once on the ground, expert historian hosts and top-notch guides, often with advanced degrees, lead the excursions, ensuring both a smooth logistical experience and rich, informative exploration. Trips typically last 8 days and 7 nights, covering 2-3 cities, and are designed to balance educational content with adventure and relaxation. They include specially curated dining experiences at hand-picked restaurants, surprise treats and unique secret escapes such as Roman baths or private beach experiences. Itineraries are designed to feel more like a road trip with a group of worldly friends than a conventional educational tour. Boots & Bridges emphasises hassle-free travel, handling all logistics from transport to hotel check-in, lunch bookings and museum entry. They work with quality hotels and provide comfortable transport with amenities such as WiFi and power points. Group sizes are kept small, between 6 and 12 people, to ensure an intimate and engaging experience, and they also offer private group options.
