101 HOLIDAY IDEAS

Two of Britain’s leading travel writers, David Wickers and Mark Hodson, created 101 Holidays to provide fellow travelers with 101 of their all-time favorite travel experiences. Having visited more than 120 countries and spent more than 40 years writing about travel for well-known travel magazines and national newspapers, David and Mark surely know their stuff.

To discover your ideal trip, click on one of the images or narrow your choice by destination, price per person or type of experience such as active, adventure, beach, culture, family or self-catering. You can do everything from spending a summer in the alps, relax on the dreamy beaches of Bahia, enjoy Cornwall cottages and coast and drive New Zealand. Each holiday comes with a recommended tour guide, plus a verdict from the two founders.

David and Mark’s verdict on one of my favorite holidays, Corsica, the perfect island, with directCorsica:

It’s arguably the most gorgeous island in the Mediterranean, with perfect beaches and an interior carpeted in a wild herb garden and dotted with medieval hilltowns. Yet compared to islands such as Mallorca, Corfu and Ibiza, it is curiously overlooked by British visitors. Corsica, in our book, is the Med to perfection, with a thick layer of French polish.
