It started with a sip of limoncello and a healthy serving of Mamma’s pasta al Pomodoro shared with the Esposito sisters at their lemon farm in Sorrento, Italy. Now, a decade on, the stories shared and bonds formed during our Be My Guest <\/em>experiences have become the highlight of our trips worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, we took guests on the first Be My Guest<\/em> experience and revolutionised the way the world thinks of group travel, giving travellers inside access to places they would otherwise not experience and facilitating profound human connections through exploring their way of life and the most international of rituals: sharing a meal. Around this same time, our JoinTrafalgar<\/a> programme was also born, with a mission to make travel a force for good by helping people, preserving places and wildlife, and caring for the planet. Immediately, we realised that we can combine our passion for making a difference with our goal of facilitating meaningful cultural exchange between our guests and the local communities they visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a look at how our joint Be My Guest<\/em>\/JoinTrafalgar experiences are taking guests off the typical tourist routes and into the homes and local, family-run businesses that breathe life into each destination. And learn how each memorable encounter helps ensure the livelihoods and cultural heritage of the hosts that open both their hearts and homes to our guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
