Democracy Journeys are curated trips to places where democracy is being shaped in real time. On our journeys, we feature the most prominent voices of the countries’ resistance, resilience, and democracy-building movements – voices that are rarely included on tourist trails.

We sit down with journalists who kept reporting when threatened, cultural leaders who chose unity over division, and activists whose path has carried them from the protest line to parliament. We meet them where they live and work — sharing meals, walking historic streets, or talking over coffee as they bring each place’s history and culture vividly to life.

Our carefully designed itineraries balance these insightful conversations with exploration of the countries’ most iconic sites and experiences. Led by a team of local and American guides, each trip pairs inside access to the very best that a country has to offer with the high-end comfort you deserve on vacation.

You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of each country’s history, culture, and beauty along with a measure of hope for the future of our world.
