  • My recent trip to Thailand exceeded my expectations.

    It was such a memorable and enjoyable adventure. Not only is Rebecca a great organizer (everything ran smoothly), but every hotel, restaurant, and excursion aligned with plant-based/vegan values. I really appreciated the small group tour dynamics which allowed the discovery of new foods and the many cultural experiences together into such a wonderful highlight of the trip
    – Mark, Thailand Traveler

  • Traveling to Portugal with Veggies Abroad was an incredible adventure!

    I was excited to be on a tour of like-minded people (Yeah vegans!), but I didn’t expect that it would be such a food experience. Every restaurant we ate at was a destination meal. The food was amazing! We ate five times a day most days.
    – Laurie, Portugal Traveler

Tour Highlights

  • Visit a working cliffside monastery, sip coffee with monks, and explore ancient ruins.
  • Harvest vegetables, learn about rural Greek life, and cook a traditional meal together.
  • Discover Greece’s “liquid gold” and learn how to evaluate high-quality olive oil.
  • Walk through history at one of the most important archaeological sites in the Western world.
  • Soak in island time with a stop on gorgeous Spetses.
  • And, so much more!

Is This Tour For You?

This trip is suitable for most travelers with a reasonable level of fitness. One day includes a scenic hike through the beautiful Lousios Valley, covering approximately 5 km (about 3 miles). On other days, you can expect time on your feet while exploring archaeological sites, villages, and historic areas, often on uneven or cobblestone surfaces.

Spetses is a stunning island with a long tradition of limited vehicle traffic. As a result, horses and donkeys are sometimes used for transportation, which is common on several Greek islands. While you may see them during your visit, our group will not utilize animal transport.
