Testimonials from Happy Clients
I was a little apprehensive about my first trip overseas, but that was quickly resolved when working with Catherine. She laid out exactly how the trip was going to go, from the flight, to the drive to the resort and everything in between until it was time to fly back. She even told me which weather-appropriate attire I would be most comfortable in. The entire trip was seamless. I can't recommend her services enough."
"I can't recommend her services enough."
Traveling is always stressful! Catherine helps you make it less about being a daunting task and more about what works for your needs. She listens and really works towards providing options that make sense for your trip and is SO friendly and understanding. She takes the time to be detail-oriented, timely, and wants you to have the best experience possible. Working with Catherine is like planning a trip with a friend, while also providing experiences you might not have thought about. If you are someone who wants to get the most out of the time out have to travel, working with Catherine is the way to go!

Doris Finch, California
First off, the trip beautifully fulfilled our very demanding expectations. Given our many areas of interest, prior experience and particular needs, I can’t imagine anyone else meeting all that so well. Our guides were all excellent. That was maybe our greatest apprehension because we have met our share of ho-hum as well as very good… Read More

We have just returned from an outstanding 19-day holiday in Japan thanks to Boutique Japan. I cannot recommend this travel company highly enough.

We are very experienced, independent, international travelers but we found trying to plan and book a personalised holiday in Japan in late 2015 to be very challenging.

Indulge for Less: 25 Budget-Friendly Travel Experiences That Feel Luxurious
Posted: February 13, 2024 | Last updated: February 13, 2024
Traveling on a budget doesn’t necessarily mean a poor experience. In fact, some of the most memorable and luxurious travel experiences can be surprisingly affordable if you know where to look. Explore these 25 incredible travel experiences that feel luxurious but don’t have a hefty price tag.
1. Stay in a Boutique Hostel
Gone are the days when hostels were synonymous with cramped dorms.
Many cities are home to quaint boutique hostels that offer private rooms and chic common areas. You get the luxury of a stylish hotel at a fraction of the cost.
2. Visit Free Museums and Galleries
Many world-class museums and galleries offer free admission or pay-what-you-can days. You can immerse yourself in art and culture without spending a dime.
3. Enjoy Street Food Markets
Street food markets are a window into a country’s cuisine. They offer delicious, authentic food that’s often superior to what you find in expensive restaurants. And you get a real taste of local dishes.
4. Explore Nature Reserves
Nature reserves and national parks offer breathtaking beauty and serenity. Many have no or minimal entrance fees, making them a budget-friendly way to experience nature.
The views are stunning, the wildlife is fascinating, and the whole experience can make you feel like you’re on an exotic, luxurious safari.
5. Attend Open-Air Concerts
Look for free open-air concerts in the city you’re visiting. It’s a delightful way to enjoy live music under the stars.
6. Relax in Natural Hot Springs
Natural hot springs give you a luxurious spa experience without the spa price tag. Soak in mineral-rich waters and enjoy the scenic beauty around you.
7. Take a Free Walking Tour
Many cities offer free walking tours led by locals. It’s a great way to learn about the city’s history and hidden gems.
You may also find budget-friendly ghost tours, themed walks, and other experiences that can make you forget you’re vacationing on a budget.
8. Rent a Bike and Explore
Renting a bike is an affordable way to see a city. It’s faster than walking but allows you to explore areas that cars can’t reach.
While biking isn’t luxurious, not being forced to endure cramped public transport is a luxury when you’re watching the pennies.
9. Visit Local Markets
Local markets are not just for shopping; they’re a feast for the senses. Explore, sample local delicacies, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere.
Here, you can get an authentic touch of local luxury in terms of food, trinkets, and clothing without the inflated prices you’ll often find in the tourist traps.
10. Enjoy a Picnic in a Famous Park
Grab some local produce and enjoy a picnic in one of the city’s famous parks. It’s a simple yet luxurious experience, particularly if you bring along good food and drink.
For a really high-end experience, you may be able to rent a retro wicker picnic hamper or purchase a packed picnic that’s ready to eat when you find the perfect spot.
11. Watch a Sunset or Sunrise
Find a beautiful spot to watch the sunset or sunrise. It’s a magical experience that doesn’t cost anything at all. But can make your vacation extra special.
12. Volunteer for a Day
Volunteering is a rewarding way to travel. Many organizations offer free food and accommodation in exchange for work.
One of my friends spent a month exploring Australia where she got free accommodation and three meals a day in exchange for 10 hours a week planting trees.
While this one doesn’t really make your vacation feel luxurious, it frees up your available cash to make room for more luxury in your budget.
13. Take a Scenic Train Ride
Some train journeys are an experience in themselves. Look for scenic routes that offer breathtaking views from the comfort of your seat.
14. Stay in an Airbnb with a View
Sometimes, a room with a view makes all the difference. An Airbnb can offer stunning views at a lower price than a luxury hotel.
15. Visit a Botanical Garden
Botanical gardens are a tranquil escape from the city bustle. Many have affordable entry fees and are a great way to spend a day.
Some botanical gardens offer meditation and yoga sessions where you’re immersed in nature for a simple but intense and luxurious self-care experience.
On my last trip to London, I joined in a couple of the Wellbeing in Nature sessions at Kew Gardens. Both the forest bathing and the temperate house yoga sessions were truly amazing. I can’t wait to go back!
16. Go to a Local Festival
Participating in a local festival can be an uplifting experience. It’s a unique way to immerse yourself in the local culture.
You’ll get a real feel for local culture, enjoy authentic food and beverages, and see the real place, not just the touristy bits.
17. Have a Beach Day
A day at the beach is a quintessential luxury experience. Find a secluded spot and enjoy the sun, sand, and sea. It’s nostalgic, fun, and relaxing, all at once.
18. Explore Historic Sites
Many historic sites have free or low-cost admission. They offer a fascinating glimpse into the past. Don’t just do what the guidebook tells you.
Research some lesser-known but equally fascinating local historical sites that let you feel like Indiana Jones without over-paying.
Plus, there’s a good chance that there’ll be fewer people at some of these lesser-known spots, so you’ll get to enjoy a more enriching, solo experience.
19. Enjoy High Tea
In some cities, you can enjoy a high tea experience at a reasonable price. It’s a delightful way to spend an afternoon.
20. Take a Cooking Class
Learn to cook local dishes in a cooking class. It’s a fun and often affordable way to experience the local cuisine.
21. Go on a Hike
Hiking is a great way to explore the natural beauty of a place. It’s free and can lead to some spectacular views and epic photos that can make a budget vacation seem like the trip of a lifetime.
22. Visit a Vineyard
Many vineyards offer free or inexpensive tastings. It’s a luxurious experience for wine lovers.
23. Enjoy a Local Coffee Shop
Spend a leisurely afternoon in a local coffee shop. It’s a small luxury that lets you soak in the local vibe.
24. Take a Ferry Ride
In cities with waterways, a ferry ride can be a cheap yet fantastic way to see the city from a different perspective.
25. Stay in a Rural Homestay
Staying in a rural homestay can offer an authentic and luxurious experience at a low cost. Enjoy home-cooked meals and the warmth of local hospitality.

VERSAILLES, Ohio — When most people think of Versailles, Marie Antoinette’s Parisian palace is likely the first image that comes to mind.
On this side of the pond, Versailles, Ohio, which is about a three-and-a-half-hour drive from downtown Cleveland, is a small-town gem of less than 3,000 people that’s home to a destination-worthy hotel that epitomizes the hyper-local mindset.
