GOLF’S FINEST TR AVEL EXPERIENCE The truth about great international golf courses is that they are typically in close proximity to fascinating cultural and historic venues, immersed in unique landscapes ripe for discovery, making our trips ideal for couples in which one spouse is a passionate golfer, and one may rather tour. We dedicate as much purpose to planning and executing our touring programs as we do our golf line-up; no other golf tour operator can make this promise. We know our clients demand stimulating experiences beyond golf and strive to present our guests with a rich blend of choices between golf and touring each day. Even the heartiest golfers among our guests often remark, “it was tough to decide today between the tour and the links.” Each day, touring passengers will have the option to experience fascinating cultural and historic or culinary and wine tours. On some days, golfers and tour guests will spend the day touring together and on others, they will get together for a private wine tasting or tour after golf. We challenge you to find a touring program with any other luxury golf tour operator that is as robust, inclusive and exclusive as you will find on a Kalos Golf tour.
